Happy First Day of Fall — even if it still feels like summer in South Louisiana! ☀️

🍂 Whether you’re breaking out the boots or still wearing flip-flops, it’s a great time to check in on your pet’s seasonal needs.

Fall in Louisiana doesn’t mean flea, tick, and heartworm season is over. With our warm, humid climate, parasites stick around longer than you'd think. Make sure your pets stay protected year-round. 🦟

Unsure if your pet is protected? Give us a call at 985-847-0591 to discuss the preventatives we offer or book their appointment online at https://vetmedcenterslidell.com/slidell-la-veterinary-appointment/

Friday Facts!
🚨 Pyometra: A Silent but Deadly Threat to Your Pets 🚨

Did you know that unspayed female pets are at risk for a life-threatening infection called pyometra? This serious condition causes the uterus to fill with pus and can come on suddenly—often with little warning.

Symptoms may include:
❗Lethargy
❗Vomiting
❗Increased thirst
❗Vaginal discharge
❗Swollen abdomen

Without emergency surgery, pyometra can be fatal. The best way to prevent it? Spaying your pet before it happens.

Here’s the good news: We're running a September Spay Special to help you protect your furry friends and your wallet!

Book your pet's spay appointment this month and receive a special discount.

✅ Peace of mind.
✅ Healthier, longer life for your dog.
✅ Prevention of pyometra and other reproductive diseases.

Call us today to schedule your pet's spay surgery while spots are still available!

These incredible animals may need a little extra time or care, but they’ll give you a lifetime of unconditional love in return. 💕

✨ Seniors
✨ Pets with medical needs
✨ Shy or anxious animals
✨ Long-term residents
✨ Unique-looking pets

Help rewrite their stories.
Meet your new best friend today! 🐶🐱

📍 Visit in person or view adoptable pets online: https://www.northshorehumane.org/node/1090

📆 Special adoption promotions running all week!

🐾 Less Adoptable Pet Week 🐾 Every animal deserves love — but some wait a little longer to find it. 💛
