🍽️🐾 Do you know how many calories your pet needs each day? Measuring their food with a cup isn't always enough. To make sure your furry friend is getting the right amount of food, calculate their daily caloric needs.

Use a dog or cat calorie calculator to determine the number of calories they require, and then measure their food accordingly.

🐶🐱 Divide that amount into two or three meals and don't forget about treats. Treats should only make up 10% of your pet's daily calorie intake, so be mindful of their snack consumption.

Need help calculating your pet's daily calories? Reach out to our team! Call (678) 459-6001 to talk to your veterinarian.

❤️ We all want our furry friends to be healthy and happy, but heartworms can be a major obstacle. When a mosquito bites an infected dog, they can ingest heartworm larvae and transmit them to the next pet they bite. In dogs, heartworms can mature to adulthood and cause significant health problems.

While cats are less likely to develop heartworms, the immature heartworms can still cause issues. 😢

Protect your pet by taking preventative measures and keeping them safe from mosquitos! 🦟

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 (678) 459-6001, so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.

🐶🔊🚪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.

🦠 Did you know that many heartworms are infected with a bacteria called Wolbachia, which further contributes to the inflammatory response in dogs?

😢 When heartworms die, body pieces can lodge in the vasculature, obstructing blood flow to the lungs and causing scarring in the vessels supplying lung tissue.

Over time, this can lead to heart failure. Most dogs don't exhibit symptoms in the initial stages, but as the condition worsens, they may experience coughing, panting, exercise intolerance, and weight loss. 🐶

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 (678) 459-6001, so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.

🐶🐱 Take a hard, honest look at your pet's diet to see if it needs adjusting. Even small treats can add up quickly and provide little nutritional value. Don't hesitate to reach out to us for help.
