It is the time of year when mice are coming into our sheds, grain bins, garages and homes. You may be tempted to put out rodenticide (rat/mouse killer) to eliminate the problem. PLEASE check the label of the rodenticide that you use; your pet may accidentally eat some. Do NOT get the one with the ingredient broMETHalin. (The other rodenticide has a treatment of vitamin K and the toxin can be reversed if discovered early.)
Bromethalin is a newer type that causes brain swelling. THERE IS NO ANTIDOTE. To help remember the name of the fatal poison look for the word “meth” and stay away. Call your veterinarian immediately if your pet eats any poison, we may be able to induce vomiting and eliminate the toxin.

Even safer than rat poison - get a cat!!!

We are all enjoying this warmer weather, and "Cooper" wants to remind everyone to call and make boarding reservations EARLY!!

We just received an order of BRAVECTO flea and tick preventative! We carry both a chewable and topical version - Both applications are effective for three months of protection for your pet! Give us a call, or stop by the office to pick some up!

We have had a lot of people ask about heartworm preventatives lately, more specifically about ProHeart12. ProHeart12 is an injectable heartworm preventative that is administered by your veterinarian that will last for twelve months - yes, one whole year!!

When compared to monthly Heartgard chewables, the cost for ProHeart12 is between $0.33 and $2.50 more per month (depending on the weight of your dog) and you'll have one less thing to remember each month!

To be eligible for this preventative, your dog must be at least one year old and have a current negative heartworm test.

Please give us a call (731) 644-9933 if you have any questions about ProHeart12, or any other heartworm preventatives.

FEBRUARY IS PET DENTAL HEALTH MONTH

***Drop a picture of your pet showing off their teeth in the comments!***

* By age three, 70-85% of dogs and cats have some degree of dental disease!
* Periodontal (Dental) Disease is the #1 disease in dogs and cats! This is a bacterial infection and can be extremely painful!
* "Doggie Breath" is NOT normal! Bad breath, trouble chewing, inflamed/red gums, and even excessive drooling may be signs of dental disease.

Prevention starts at home!
* Brushing your pets teeth (just like you brush yours!) has proven to be helpful in preventing dental disease.
* "Lift the Lip" Don't be afraid to look at your dogs teeth - check for tarter buildup, discolored or loose teeth, red inflamed gums, or anything else that may not look normal.
* An oral exam should be a part of your pets annual physical - have a licensed veterinarian take a look at your pets teeth to catch potential problems early! This will save you money in the long run, and keep your pet pain-free.

***Pictured here is our vet tech, Paige, performing a dental cleaning procedure and her pup, "Charlie" showing off his pearly whites!***

If you would like to schedule an oral exam or a dental cleaning for your pet, give us a call! (731) 644 - 9933

If Peanut (the dog) looks uncomfortable, it's because Bandita (the cat) is NOT practicing proper social distancing etiquette. And...she's laying on HIS blanket!!

Spring is springing! I know this isn't animal related but I thought it was beautiful. This is a variety of Echinacea and proof that life is still happening despite the coronavirus. We will be planting seeds in the coming weeks and looking forward to what Mother Nature brings us as the season progresses.

In light of the recent feline and zoo tiger cases of COVID, I would like to take this moment to reach out and calm your anxiety about your pets.

The world has had over a million cases of COVID and only 5 positives in animals, 2 pet dogs, 2 pet cats and a zoo tiger. These animals did NOT give this virus to their owners. They contracted it FROM their owners.

Current evidence indicates that cats can get COVID from humans.
They can then give it to another cat but there is no evidence that they can give it to people. The same is thought to be true of ferrets. Idexx Laboratories have tested thousands of dogs here in the US and none have been positive for COVID. If you have concerns regarding your pet, please call us at 644-9933.

So my advice to you remains the same as it was before "Nadia" the New York tiger got sick: Use good hygiene and if you get sick with COVID-19, quarantine yourself away from your family AND pets. Stay home and stay safe! - Dr. Stephanie

Leonidas would like to reassure everyone that he is doing his part to stay safe during this pandemic. He hopes everyone else is taking proper precautions.

In the unfortunate event that any of our clients or Henry County citizens are unable to care for their pets due to COVID-19 infection, we will be happy to board them until you recover enough to resume care for them yourself. Please call 644-9933 for arrangements. Stay safe my friends. - Dr. Stephanie
