In Southeast Louisiana, It's Always Flea Season! 🐾

These live fleas and "flea dirt" (flea p**p!) were found on a patient recently. Flea dirt is often one of the first signs of a flea infestation, even when you don't see many live fleas. And for some pets, it only takes one flea bite to trigger significant itching and skin irritation.

Pets with flea allergies may experience:
• Intense itching
• Red, irritated skin
• Hair loss
• Secondary skin infections

Because our warm, humid climate allows fleas to thrive year-round, consistent flea prevention is one of the best ways to keep your pet comfortable and healthy.

We offer:
✔ Flea prevention products in the clinic
✔ Bravecto Quantum™, a long-acting flea and tick injection for dogs
✔ Convenient online pharmacy ordering

If your pet is scratching more than usual, or if you've spotted fleas, give us a call or book online to discuss the best flea prevention plan for your pet!

🐾 Our friends at the Animal Assistance League of Slidell need our community's help!

Their shelter is currently at capacity, and to help more pets find loving homes, they are offering NO ADOPTION FEES on any dog through Saturday.

If you've been thinking about adding a furry family member, now is a wonderful time to adopt. Every adoption creates space for another pet in need.

Can't adopt right now? Please help by sharing their post and spreading the word. A simple share could help a deserving pet find their forever home. ❤️🐶🐱

Mayday! We are at a breaking point. 🚨

🐕Our shelter has reached a level we’ve never wanted to see! Kennels are full, temporary housing is full, and dogs are now occupying pop-up kennels simply because there is nowhere else for them to go.

We need dogs leaving the shelter.

To help create desperately needed space, we are WAIVING adoption fees on ALL DOGS for Thursday, June 11, Friday, June 12 AND Saturday, June 13.

This isn’t just a promotion. It’s an emergency effort to help relieve the overcrowding and give these dogs a chance to get out of the shelter and into homes.

🐾 NO ADOPTION FEES ON ALL DOGS�📅 Thursday, June 11, Friday, June 12 and Saturday, June 13.

Right now, every adoption matters more than ever.

Can’t adopt? Foster! Opening your home temporarily can save a life, and we’ll provide everything you need to care for your foster pet.

After evaluation, our patient from yesterday's X-ray underwent a C-section and spay procedure.
One SINGLE kitten was present!

Both mom and kitten did well, and here's one of our favorite sounds from the day—a newborn making its presence known!

You probably don't need a radiology residency for this one!
👀

This young feline patient presented to us for further evaluation after her owner noticed bleeding.

We took this radiograph as part of our workup.

What do you see?

Drop your observations in the comments before checking back tomorrow for the outcome of this case and a very special update!

🎉 Please join us in wishing a very Happy 3rd Birthday to Ghibli!

What better way to celebrate than with a fresh, healthy smile?
Ghibli is spending his special day with us today for a routine dental cleaning — and he looks adorable in his birthday hat while doing it! 🐾

Routine dental care is an important part of your pet’s overall health. Regular cleanings can help prevent dental disease, reduce pain, improve comfort, and even protect the heart, liver, and kidneys from complications caused by untreated oral bacteria.

Many pets hide signs of dental discomfort, so preventive care makes a huge difference in keeping them happy and healthy for years to come. 💙

📞 Is your pet due for a dental exam or cleaning? Give us a call today to schedule an appointment and help keep those tails wagging and smiles shining!
