👩‍⚕️ Is your pet due for their next set of vaccinations?!

Vaccines help the immune system recognize and combat real infections more effectively. This proactive approach not only protects individual pets but also contributes to overall community health by reducing the spread of infectious diseases like parvo, influenza, and feline leukemia. Regular vaccinations are an essential part of responsible pet ownership! 💙

🦷 Like humans, our furry companions need regular dental care. Dental disease is extremely common in pets of all ages which can lead to gum disease and tooth loss causing significant pain. Beyond that, bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and affect vital organs like the heart, lungs, and kidneys.

🐶 Dental cleanings involve more than an oral exam and brushing. Since dental disease is often hiding below the gum line, dental X-rays are necessary for an accurate assessment followed by the teeth being cleaned with an ultrasonic scaler, and any necessary extractions or other treatments are performed. All the teeth are polished and rinsed before we gently wake your pet up from anesthesia.

🐱 Professional dental care is essential, but your role at home is just as important. Regular brushing of your pet’s teeth can significantly decrease the buildup of plaque and tartar. If brushing is challenging, consider dental diets, dental treats like Oravet, or water additives!

💉🩸 Bloodwork and diagnostics play a crucial role in maintaining your pet's health. Here are some key reasons why they are important:

1. Early Detection of Health Issues
Many diseases and conditions can be asymptomatic in pets. Blood tests can reveal underlying health problems, such as kidney disease, liver dysfunction, diabetes, or infections, before symptoms become apparent.
2. Monitoring Existing Conditions
For pets with chronic health issues, regular bloodwork helps monitor the effectiveness of treatments and track the progression of the disease, allowing for timely adjustments in care.
3. Assessing Overall Health
Routine blood tests provide a comprehensive view of your pet's overall health. They can assess organ function, electrolyte levels, and blood cell counts, giving veterinarians important information to guide treatment.

🐾 Preventing heartworms, fleas, & ticks are crucial for your pet's health & well-being & helps to ensure your pet's comfort & happiness. By working with your veterinarian to implement a comprehensive prevention plan, you can help keep your furry friend safe from these harmful parasites.

🦟 Heartworms affect the heart & are transferred by mosquitos, so even our indoor only friends need protection! Infected pets may face long-term health problems, permanent heart damage, or even death if untreated. While treatment for heartworms exists for dogs, it can be risky, expensive, & complicated. There are currently no heartworm treatment options for cats. Preventing infection in the first place is much safer & more cost-effective.

🚫 Fleas can cause significant itching & discomfort for pets, leading to scratching, hair loss, & skin infections. They can transmit various diseases, such as tapeworms and Bartonella (cat scratch fever), affecting both pets & humans. Fleas reproduce quickly... A single female flea can lay thousands of eggs in her lifetime, leading to rapid infestations in your home if not controlled. In extreme cases, fleas can even cause anemia, particularly in young or small pets.

❤️ We have multiple options we carry in the hospital, & even more on our online pharmacy!

🐱 Did you know?!

🗣 Cats can make over 100 different sounds! Unlike dogs, which primarily bark, cats use a variety of vocalizations, including meows, purrs, hisses, and chirps, to communicate their needs and emotions. Each sound can convey different messages, making them quite the chatty companions!

What are Wellness Exams all about?

🐾 Pets are seen as members of our family, so it's only natural that we treat them as one. This month, we encourage you to spend extra time and care with your furry friend!

👩‍⚕️ One of the most important things you can do for your pet is bringing them in for an annual wellness exam. Since pet's age much faster than us, these routine check-ups can help us catch issues early.. such as heart, kidney, and thyroid disease.

🩸 Your veterinary team may recommend vaccines, lab work, and an ultrasound with their physical exam. These work together to prevent disease, provide an internal exam, assess dental health, and checks for areas of physical discomfort. Since our pets are unable to tell us when they are feeling unwell, they have to rely on us to ensure they stay healthy.

Is your pet in need or their annual exam? Schedule today (850-909-0130) or find out more about what we offer on our website!
