February is National Pet Dental Health Month. Is your pet showing signs of poor dental health? Keep an eye out for bad breath, swollen gums, difficulty eating, pawing at the face, and excessive drooling. These may indicate underlying dental diseases. Recognizing potential periodontal disease early on is crucial for your pet's well-being. Prioritize your pet's oral health to ensure a happier and healthier life.
Your Pup and Pools
Dr. Gill always recommends teaching your pet how to swim to the stairs in the event that they fall into the pool by accident!

Enjoy summer days with your pet...safely!
Hot summer days with your pet can be a lot of fun, but our four-legged friends can be put in some pretty unpleasant and even dangerous situations if we’re not careful.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
Is your pet hiding something from you?
Pets can be pretty good at hiding symptoms of a bigger issue. That’s why seeing us regularly is so important.
Heartworm Microfilaria
Have you ever wondered what baby heartworms look like? This is a microfilaria swimming in the blood of a dog under the microscope. Microfilariae are produced by adult heartworms and circulate in the bloodstream until they are picked up by a mosquito that bites the dog, which then leads to the spread of heartworms to another dog. This is why we always recommend year-round heartworm prevention!
The vet can sometimes be a little scary for your babies. But one of the many jobs of our technicians is being their cheerleaders through it all! 💙

Today is National Lost Dog Awareness Day
Microchips can be one of the best ways to get your pet back to you, in case they scurry off.
Cats Get Heartworms Too!
Cats are less susceptible to being infected by heartworms than dogs - but that doesn't mean they don't need preventatives.
Sharing isn't always caring!
Grapes & raisins can be highly toxic to dogs and should never be shared.
