Protecting your pet from heartworm disease is one of the most important things to do as a pet parent. For the month of September, we are offering FREE heartworm testing with a doctor exam and vaccines. Do you give your pet monthly prevention without fail? That's EXCELLENT but it's still important to test annually. Why? It takes 7-8 months for a dog to test positive for heartworm disease. Sometimes a dose is missed or given late. Life happens, but we've got your back when it comes to protecting your pet.

Cats love to hide pain, we like to say they are good at cosplaying 😅🙈
Prevention is the key to keeping your cat healthy. Cats should have yearly exams (yes, even if they got their 3 year rabies vaccine 😉). If you're behind on your cat's exam or if you are interested in an exam for your cat, give us a call, it's never too late!

Just because summer is coming to an end, doesn't mean allergy season is! Some pets have fall allergies and some have year-round allergies.

We want to make sure she gets back to her home safely. Any help in spreading the word would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your support and shares!

Spotlight on one of our patients today...Martini the Newfie mix! Isn't she so precious!! 😍🥹 she was here for an echocardiogram and did amazing! She got to hang out with the techs in treatment all morning and was so well behaved - she didn't even need to be in a cage, she slept on a blanket in the treatment area. We all couldn't help but take pictures of her and cuddle her throughout the day. Puppies make the day just a little brighter 💜

You can look for many signs of heat stress in your animals.

Some general signs include:
- panting
- increased respiration rate
- increased water intake
- loss of appetite
- listless or lethargy
- increased salivation
- in severe cases may become unconscious

Make sure you are well informed on the signs of heat stress for any species you own and watch them closely during days of extreme heat. Brachycephalic breeds (short-faced dogs) such as Shih Tzus, French and English Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, etc are especially prone to heat stroke.
