Wish you a happy and safe Fourth of July! 🎆

07/03/2024

Reminder - our offices are closed tomorrow in observance of the Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

07/01/2024

We can't believe Fourth of July is this week! It's a good time to remind our pet owners how they can keep their pets safe this year!

The fourth of July is near and what better way to celebrate than with fireworks and sparklers. Although it may not be expected, dogs will chew on and eat fireworks and may become anxious due to the unexpected, loud sound. When ingested dogs can have GI upset, obstruction, and even damage to their red blood cells. It’s best to keep your furry friends inside while enjoying the pyrotechnics!

My cat's healthy. Why do they need a routine wellness visit?

Cats are great at hiding underlying medical issues. When you
bring your feline companion in for a routine wellness visit, we’ll
do a physical exam and run diagnostic screening tests to help
detect issues before your cat shows signs of illness.

For the month of June we're going to focus on Preventative Care for your pets!

This first post...stinks.

But f***l screenings are an important step in protecting your pet. F***l antigen testing helps us find intestinal parasite infections that other types of testing may miss. Bring a sample to your pet’s next visit and ask us about year-round parasite preventives!
