🐾👩‍⚕️ Spaying your female pet before her first heat cycle offers significant health benefits, such as reducing her risk of developing mammary cancer.

🚫 On the other hand, having a litter can cause health problems for your pet, who may not survive the birth.

📞Call (603) 942-8368 to talk to your veterinarian about the benefits of spaying your pet.

Cordelia is really embracing the weather we have been having recently. Here are some tips for the summer for your pets:
1. Limit your time outside with excessive heat. Consider walks in the early morning or in the evening when the temperature is cooler.
2. Be mindful of hot pavement. It can easily burn paw pads. Walk on the grass when possible.
3. Provide fresh water multiple times daily

🐾❤️ Your pet's dental health is vital to their overall wellbeing!

Dental disease can cause chronic pain and inflammation, affecting your pet's quality of life. As pet owners, we may attribute changes in our pets' behavior to age or other lifestyle factors, but these could be signs of dental disease.

Make sure to schedule annual dental evaluations as part of your pet’s regular preventive care exam to detect any issues before they progress. A thorough dental procedure can help your furry friend feel like a whole new pet!

🚹🐾 Neutering your male pet is an important part of responsible pet ownership.

💢 Neutered pets are typically less aggressive, less likely to urine-mark their territory, and less likely to exhibit mounting behavior.

👍 Plus, neutering helps reduce the risk of certain health issues, and can prevent overpopulation.

🌼🐜 Pets and gardens go together like bees and honey, but watch out for potential toxins from wildlife!

👀 Insects, amphibians, and wild reptiles can have natural toxins that are harmful to pets.

🕷️ Bees and wasps are common garden visitors that can cause pain and even an allergic reaction in some pets. If your pet’s face starts to swell after a bee sting, take them to the vet for prompt treatment.

💉 Keep your pets safe while enjoying nature by being vigilant and informed.🌳
