On the second day of Christmas, the animal hospital gave to me... two testicles!

Did you know that spaying and neutering your pets helps reduce the risk of medical issues?

We, generally, recommend neutering your pet around the age of 6 months. But, it depends on the pet. Ask your veterinarian for more details!

Dr. Straka often shares her snacks with Frankie (and Frankie LOVES it😋 ). However, it's times like these that we think about the importance of parasite testing and prevention.

Did you know that intestinal parasites like worms can be transmitted from pets to humans? Regular testing and parasite prevention are essential to keep both your furry family and your loved ones healthy.

✨ Why It’s Important:

Health Risks: Worms can cause serious health issues in pets, including weight loss, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Human Safety: Some worms can be passed to humans, potentially leading to severe health problems.

Preventative Care: Routine testing can detect worms, allowing for timely treatment and prevention of further spread.

🔬 What You Can Do:

Regular Vet Visits: Schedule routine check-ups and f***l tests with your veterinarian.

Good Hygiene: Wash your hands after handling pets, especially before meals.

Clean Environment: Keep your yard clean and dispose of pet waste promptly.

We highly recommend bringing in a stool sample annually for internal parasite testing. We also recommend keeping your pet on parasite prevention year-round to prevent any surprises that may pose health risks.

***We do not recommend sharing human food with pets without first confirming that the particular food is safe for pets to eat***

Today, we have the absolute pleasure of having Norman here for his neuter surgery. This charming kitty stole everyone’s hearts with his sweet purrs and irresistible snuggles. 🥰

From the moment he arrived, Norman was showered with love and cuddles from our team. He handled his procedure like a champ and is spending the rest of the day being pampered and adored. 💖
