🎆🐾 Planning for a safe and joyful 4th of July? Here are some tips to ensure your pets stay happy and healthy during the celebrations:
-Keep pets indoors during parties and fireworks displays. Loud noises can startle them, leading to anxiety or attempts to escape. This precaution helps prevent pets from getting lost, as shelters see increased reports during this time.
-Avoid feeding pets BBQ scraps or other festive treats. Many human foods can upset their stomachs or even pose serious health risks like pancreatitis and blockages.
-If your pet is anxious during fireworks or thunderstorms, contact us about anti-anxiety medications to help keep them calm and comfortable.
-Ensure your pet has proper identification, such as a collar with tags or a microchip. This greatly increases the chances of being reunited if they do wander off. Remember, all shelters and vet hospitals can scan for microchips.

Heartworm disease is becoming more prevalent in our area. Get your pets checked annually, keep them on year-round prevention, and know the signs should they become infected.
Call or text us at (513)553-9954 to refill your pet's heartworm prevention.
How to prevent Lyme disease:
1) use a high quality (prescription) flea/tick prevention year-round on ALL pets in your home. Do not skimp during the cold months as the blacklegged deer tick is active even in the winter.
2) Check yourself and your pets daily for ticks. As seen in the video here the blacklegged deer tick goes through several life stages, with the smallest stage being hardly bigger than the tip of a pen.
3) If needed, treat your yard and around your house. Clear tall grass and other brush. Ticks like to attach to their host by climbing grass and waiting for you to pass by.
4) Vaccinate your dog for Lyme disease.
5) Have your dog tested annually for Lyme disease (our blood parasite screen for dogs tests for heartworm, Lyme, Anaplasma, and Ehrlichiosis). If your dog tests positive at this time, we can discuss treatment options with you and a best course of action. Remember, even if your dog is or was Lyme positive in the past, you should still keep them on prevention and update their vaccination. They can become reinfected OR co-infected with a different "strain" of the disease.

Pet First Aid Kits
September is Disaster Preparedness Month and you should prepare things for your pets along with the rest of your family. First aid kits are a must to keep around your house, in your car, and to have ready to take with you in case of an emergency that may require evacuation of any kind. You should also keep a "go bag" of extra supplies like leashes, carriers, food, medications, and anything else your pet may need for a short time. #lpcpets #DisasterPreparednessMonth

Our day started AWESOMELY! How has your Saturday been? (Also so happy the heat has subsided for a bit…)
It's BBQ season & there is nothing better than spending a beautiful afternoon with family, friends, and your furry pals! But, there are things you shouldn't share with your dog, like greasy/ fatty foods, sweets, alcohol, and animal bones.

Lyme disease is spread by the Black Legged Deer tick, which is prevalent in Clermont County. The best way to protect your dog (and you!) is to keep them on year-round prevention (the tick is active even in the winter) and to vaccinate them for Lyme annually. Call or text us at (513)553-9954 to discuss prevention for all of your pets (yes, even your cats! Especially if they go outside, since they can bring "friends" home as well).

Do you have a first aid kit just for your pet(s)? If not, you should!
You should also have a "go bag" prepared for your pet(s) in case of an emergency where you have to leave your home with them suddenly. Being prepared can save you time and possibly save a life.
