Check your pet for ticks every day, especially after they spend time outdoors. Run your fingers through your pet's fur with gentle pressure to feel for any small bumps. If you find a tick, it’s important to act quickly and safely. You can either try to remove the tick yourself or take your dog to your nearest pet hospital for help.

If you choose to remove the tick from your dog, follow the steps below:

1) Use tweezers (or a tick remover instrument like a Tick Key) to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible, removing the whole head and body.
2) Pull the tick straight out with slow and steady pressure. (If the head of the tick is left in the skin, it can cause an infection and still transmit disease, so make sure the whole body is removed!)
3) Once the tick is removed, you can place it in a sealed container in case your vet wants to test it for diseases.
4) Clean the area of your dog’s skin with soap and water then apply a pet-safe antiseptic.
5) Contact us for advice on next steps. We may ask you to bring the tick in for testing.

The best way to know your dog is at a healthy weight? Staying up-to-date on their routine wellness appointments, where we will monitor your pet’s weight and provide a professional diagnosis. Between visits, here are some clear signs you can look for to get an idea of whether your dog is overweight:

✋ By Feel: You should be able to feel their ribs and there should not be a thick layer of fat covering these bones.
🔎 By Sight: The chest should be wider than the abdomen, and you'll notice a significant tuck-up from chest to stomach.
😴 Behavior: Overweight dogs may also walk a bit slower than before, take more naps than usual, and may pant on your daily walks.

Dulles South Veterinary Center prides itself on the excellence of the staff we have on board to treat your pet. We are here and available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Our veterinarians, technicians and customer support representatives all work together to ensure you have the best experience for you and your family.

It is with true regret that we are announcing Dr. Nandita Fernandes will be leaving the Dulles South Veterinary Center family effective November 30. 2023. Dr. Fernandes has been an invaluable member since 2021. Her passion is rehabilitation and we have been very fortunate to have her here with us. Her unique set of these skills, including the water treadmill and other facilities she used, was a value added to all. She will be sorely missed by staff and clients.

While we are very sorry to see her go, we are grateful to have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Fernandes; she taught us all so much. Please join us in sending her off with heartfelt best wishes.

We are very fortunate to have two veterinarians on our staff that are certified in veterinary acupuncture, Dr. Fernandes and Dr. Pattie.

The hairiest ears at Dulles South!

This patient’s ear hair was so dense it was trapping debris and moisture, as a result she needed a sedated ear plucking.
