Lyme Disease is on the Rise – Protect Your Dog, Protect Your Family 🐾🦠

This year, our clinic has already diagnosed 34 cases of Lyme disease in unvaccinated dogs—and we continue to see more positive cases every year.

Lyme disease isn’t just dangerous for pets. It’s a zoonotic disease, which means it also threatens people—including children. Infected ticks carried into the home on a pet can put the entire family at risk.

🐕 In dogs, Lyme disease can cause lasting joint pain, kidney damage, and serious illness.
👨‍👩‍👧 In people, especially children, it can lead to fever, fatigue, painful arthritis, and long-term complications if left untreated.

The good news? Lyme vaccination and year-round tick prevention are highly effective at protecting your pet and reducing the risk for your household.

✅ Safeguard your dog’s health.
✅ Reduce tick exposure in your home.
✅ Protect your family and children from this growing threat.

📅 Call us today to schedule your dog’s Lyme vaccination appointment—and help stop Lyme disease in its tracks.

Routine checkups are vital to your cat’s health, especially because they age much more rapidly than we do. A cat reaches the approximate human age of 15 by their first birthday. Checkups are crucial because a lot can happen in a “cat year.” For more reasons why you should take your cat for regular checkups, visit https://bit.ly/3oGEB1w.

At AWC we recommend ALL pets be microchipped even if they are indoor. Accidents can happen, and pets can escape their enclosure when we least expect it. Microchips are a one-time investment with a large return.

🇺🇸 Memorial Day Pet Safety Tips 🐾

As we honor those who served, let’s also keep our furry family members safe this Memorial Day weekend!

☀️ Heat & Hydration: Keep pets cool and provide plenty of fresh water. Limit exercise during the hottest parts of the day.

🍗 BBQ Hazards: Bones, skewers, onions, and fatty scraps can be dangerous. Keep food and drinks out of paws’ reach.

💥 Fireworks Fear: Loud noises can cause panic. Keep pets indoors in a quiet, secure room and consider calming aids if needed.

🪢 Travel Tips: Secure pets safely in the car and never leave them unattended—heatstroke can happen fast, even with windows cracked.

🏷️ ID Check: Make sure collars and microchips are up-to-date in case your pet gets spooked and escapes.

Enjoy the holiday safely with your pets! ❤️🐶🐱 If you have any concerns this weekend, give us a call—we’re here to help.
