Did you know that exercise is crucial for keeping your pet healthy? A healthy diet is just one piece of the puzzle. Encourage your furry friend to get up and get moving every day.

For dogs, a lengthy walk or a game of fetch is ideal. For cats, short play sessions a few times a day are best. No matter the activity, just make sure your pet is moving.

Lyme disease can be difficult to diagnose in pets, as their signs are often vague and nonspecific. Unlike humans, pets do not develop the classic bullseye rash associated with the disease.

We advise Lyme disease testing (i.e., a blood test) for pets with clinical signs that include fever, lethargy, appetite loss, swollen lymph nodes, intermittent lameness, and painful or swollen joints.

Don't wait until it's too late! Protect your furry friend from this debilitating condition by contacting us at and asking about annual tick-borne disease testing. ❤️

Now is the time to institute your furry pal's regular exercise regimen! With more than half the pet population classified as overweight or obese, it's important to help your pet maintain their ideal body weight.

Overweight pets are more likely to suffer from osteoarthritis, cranial cruciate ligament tears, soft tissue sprains and strains, and other musculoskeletal issues.

Keep your pet healthy and prevent these issues by incorporating regular exercise into their routine. Call to talk to your veterinarian for tips on helping your furry friend maintain a healthy weight.

Did you know that exercise restriction is crucial for dogs diagnosed with heartworm disease?

Physical activity can worsen the damage that the heartworms cause to the dog's heart and lungs. Treatment for heartworm disease is also dangerous, as medication can lead to life-threatening complications. The dog's condition must be stabilized before treatment is started, and close monitoring is essential throughout the process. Dogs with a low worm burden typically have a better prognosis.

Providing year-round heartworm prevention is an important part of your pet’s health care plan. If you would like to discuss the various preventives, contact our team at Pyramid Veterinary Hospital by calling , so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.
