‼️Tuesday Pet Talk: Pet Parasite Prevention: Fleas, Ticks & Heartworms‼️
In Maryland, our mild winters mean fleas, ticks, and heartworms are a year-round threat to your pets. 🐾❄️ While colder climates may kill off these pests, they remain active here, which is why year-round prevention is essential.
👉 Fleas: They can cause itching and infections, and they thrive indoors and outdoors year-round.
👉 Ticks: Ticks transmit Lyme disease and other illnesses. Protect your pets with tick prevention, especially if they’re outdoors often.
👉 Heartworms: Mosquitoes carry heartworms, and even mild winters can have them around.
💡 Year-Round Protection: At your next appointment be sure to ask about the best flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives for your pet. Options include oral meds, topical treatments, and flea collars.
Keep your pets safe and healthy all year long with the right parasite protection! 🦟

‼️Tuesday Pet Talk: Cold Weather Hazards for Pets‼️
As it’s getting colder, remember that winter weather can be tough on our furry friends. Keep these hazards in mind to keep them safe❄️
🐶 Frostbite & Hypothermia: Limit outdoor time, especially for small, short-haired, or senior pets. Sweaters or coats can help keep them warm.
🐾 Paw Protection: Ice, snow, and salt can irritate paw pads. Rinse and dry paws after walks, or use booties or paw balm.
🚗 Toxic Chemicals: Antifreeze and de-icing salts are toxic! Clean up spills and use pet-safe products.
🔥 Burn Risks: Keep pets away from space heaters and fireplaces to avoid accidents.
🐈Car Engines: Tap your car hood before starting—outdoor cats might be hiding for warmth.
Stay safe and keep your pets cozy this winter! ❤️
‼️Tuesday Pet Talk: Why do we recommend yearly lab work on seemingly ‘healthy’ pets?‼️
Diagnostic screenings help us catch underlying health issues early, even before symptoms show. These tests act like an early warning system, allowing for timely treatment and better outcomes. Plus, tracking results over time gives us a clearer picture of your pet’s unique health needs, helping us provide more personalized care as they age. Investing in these routine checks can make a big difference in your pet’s long-term health! 🐾❤️
At Taylorsville Veterinary Clinic, you’ll always receive our full attention and top-quality care in a welcoming environment. 🐾
