🥵With the summer heat, remember to check your pet’s water bowl more frequently!

Pets can’t sweat like humans. They cool down through panting and paw pad sweat, so staying hydrated is critical for regulating body temp.

Fireworks may be fun for us, but for pets, they can be scary, and the booms often continue well past the 4th of July. 🌩️ Thunderstorms and other loud noises can trigger anxiety too.

If your pet is showing signs of stress, don’t hesitate to reach out. We can discuss treatment options to help your pet feel safe and secure year-round. 💙

What's a cat's favorite color? Purr-ple!

FeLV and FIV are serious viruses that can affect a cat's health and lifespan. Testing helps you and your vet know your cat's status, prevent spread to other cats, and manage their health proactively. Early detection is key! Feline vaccinations include: rabies, FELV and FVRCP. All 3 vaccines are recommended for kittens, with FELV being continued based on the cat’s lifestyle as they get older. Call our clinic at 480-981-1244 to get your cat scheduled for yearly vaccines!

It is almost the 4th of July!✨
Microchipping helps lost pets get home faster because shelters and vets can scan the chip to find your contact info. Fourth of July fireworks can be super stressful for dogs and cats, so sedatives might help keep them calm. Give our office a call at 480-981-1244 as soon as possible if you think your pet will need some sort of calming medication for the upcoming holiday or if you are interested in microchipping!

Is your pet scratching, shaking their head, or dealing with smelly ears?

It could be more than just an itch. Ear infections are painful, especially in pets with allergies, and can cause hearing loss if left untreated.

Puppies!🐾
All of these little pups have come into the clinic to start their vaccines! Vaccines introduce a weakened pathogen to stimulate the body's immune system. Distemper and parvo are threats to unvaccinated dogs in AZ. Parvo causes severe GI issues, while distemper affects the respiratory, GI, and nervous systems. Both can be fatal, especially in puppies. Give our clinic a call at 480-981-1244 to get your pet scheduled for their yearly vaccines!
