🦟IT'S WORLD MOSQUITO DAY?!🦟
❗️WHAT A GREAT DAY TO DISCUSS HEARTWORM PREVENTION ❗️

Mosquitoes are a severe threat to dogs because they can transmit heartworm disease, which can permanently damage a dog's heart and lungs.
Take a look at the map- there is no where your pet is safe from mosquitoes here in the south.
Mosquitoes are attracted to dogs in the same way they are to humans, and bites usually occur on the back or flanks.
Dogs may not feel the bite and the only sure way to protect them is by giving them heartworm prevention.

Visit the American Heartworm Society for more info on protecting your pets, symptoms to watch for, and what to do if your pet tests positive!

National Check The Chip Day is celebrated on August 15th each year.
It is a reminder to pet owners of the importance of microchipping their furry friends and ensuring their microchip information is up to date. If your pet is chipped, its always a great idea to have your pet annually scanned to ensure the chip is still in place and identifiable.

We will scan your pet for FREE!

Microchips play a key role in pet safety, offering a way for lost pets to be identified and returned to their owners. With a REGISTERED microchip, pets have a much higher chance of returning to their families than those without.

OUR PACKAGES NOW INCLUDE MICROCHIPPING!
We have packages to fit ALL ages!
Give us a call to get your pet scheduled!

Canine Respiratory Illness
SEPARATING FACT, FICTION, AND UNCERTAINTY

Our dogs are members of our family. We understand that pet parents may be concerned with news of a reported upswing in Canine Respiratory Illness across North America. These resources offer tips to keep your furry friend healthy and safe!

Expert recommendations:
VACCINATE WISELY- Ensure your pets are up-to-date on their vaccinations to safeguard against common respiratory suspects. This is especially crucial for social dogs, who may have increased exposure to potential pathogens. Consult your veterinarian on vaccinations and maintain a regular vaccination schedule.

ISOLATE WHEN SICK- Just as we would keep ourselves or our children home when they are unwell, the same goes for our pets. If you suspect your pet is sick or exhibiting respiratory signs, such as coughing or sneezing, isolate them from other pets to prevent the potential spread of illness.

CONSULT YOUR VETERINARIAN- Early detection and intervention are key to managing respiratory illness in pets, especially for those at high-risk, including:
• Unvaccinated dogs
• Very old or very young dogs
• Dogs with underlying illnesses
• Brachycephalic (Flat-faced) breeds
(like Boxers, Pugs, French or English Bulldogs)
