While ticks are typically more active in warmer months, some species, like the deer tick (which can carry Lyme disease), can remain active in cooler temperatures, especially if it's above freezing. If the winter is mild or you're in a region where temperatures fluctuate, it’s still possible for dogs to pick up ticks during outdoor activities.

July is overall the warmest month of the year, it is also Pet Hydration Awareness Month! Pet hydration can often be overlooked when the temperatures rise causing water fountains, water dishes, and even wet food to dry out much faster than we would normally expect. 💦Try to check on your pets' water sources each time you reach for a new glass of water, chances are they are also thirsty, doubly so from all that furry insulation. #summerheat #july #drinkwater #water #staycool

Happy May! Did you know that May 1st through May 7th is "Dog Anxiety Awareness Week"? Much like many of us humans, dogs can suffer from anxiety that can be situational, or generalized. It can express itself as vocalizing, aggression, fear, repetitive behaviors, or several other behaviors. If you think that your friend may have trouble with anxiety, discuss it with your veterinarian. We can help you devise a plan for your pet. Call us to schedule today: 607-272-2828 #doganxietyawarenessweek #dogs #dogservices
