🐾❤️ Your pet's dental health is vital to their overall wellbeing!

Dental disease can cause chronic pain and inflammation, affecting your pet's quality of life. As pet owners, we may attribute changes in our pets' behavior to age or other lifestyle factors, but these could be signs of dental disease.

Make sure to schedule annual dental evaluations as part of your pet’s regular preventive care exam to detect any issues before they progress. A thorough dental procedure can help your furry friend feel like a whole new pet!

🦟 Beware cat owners! Even though cats are atypical hosts for heartworms, they can still cause major health issues.

Within 75 to 90 days after a cat is bitten by an infected mosquito, heartworm larvae can reach the pulmonary arteries, resulting in heartworm-associated respiratory disease (HARD). Signs of HARD include coughing, increased respiratory effort, and vomiting that resemble feline asthma. In some cases, heartworms can mature to adulthood, which can be fatal for cats with smaller hearts.

Providing year-round heartworm prevention is an important part of your pet’s health care plan. If you would like to discuss the various preventives, contact our team at Memorial AH by calling 330-678-2770, so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.
