😺 While cats are atypical hosts for heartworms, they can still cause significant health problems.

Heartworm larvae typically don't mature into adulthood in cats, but the cat's immune system responds by creating a strong inflammatory response. This causes lung disease, called heartworm-associated respiratory disease (HARD), which can result in signs including coughing, increased respiratory effort, and vomiting that resemble feline asthma. 🚨

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 by calling , so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.

Is your dog getting enough physical exercise? Just like people, dogs need plenty of exercise to stay healthy and happy. If your dog is barking excessively, it may be a sign that they need more physical activity. Try increasing your daily walks or hikes, or take up jogging or biking with your furry friend. A tired dog is a contented dog, and a contented dog is less likely to bark.

Does your pup ever seem like they're not quite getting what you're saying? 🤔

🐶🔊🚪Stop the barking with this simple approach!

Reward your dog for a behavior that makes barking inconvenient. Incompatible behaviors include retrieving a toy, tugging on a toy, and going to their bed or crate.

First, teach the new behavior in a quiet and distraction-free space, rewarding your dog generously for a correct performance.

Next, practice the behavior in the area where your dog barks, gradually increasing the challenge level. Cue the new behavior the moment your dog is distracted, and prompt them if needed.

Soon, your dog will perform the new behavior instead of barking when they hear a stimulus like the doorbell, delivery truck, or barking neighbor dogs.
