Rory wasn't feeling too well this morning, so she had to come in (she's already feeling better & back home!). But her mom couldn't resist sharing a memory that came up from 11 years ago today with us: Rory's very first puppy visit! What a special and seriously cute coincidence! ❤️🐾

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELIN!🎂
We've been seeing her since she was a puppy and she brings a smile to our faces every time she walks in the door!

Ps, she didn't actually get any donuts, but she did get some dog treats! 🍩

Get your dogs tested and get them on monthly prevention! We recommend Heartgard for a monthly heartworm prevention, but if you are looking for something with heartworm prevention AND flea & ticks, we also recommend Simparica Trio!

Did you know there have been 14 dogs tested positive for heartworms in just Pennington County since the beginning of the year? Of those 14 heartworm positive dogs, 5 of those tested positive during the month of May! That's only reporting the little over 2000 dogs tested and we know there are way more dogs in Pennington County!

How do you prevent your dog from testing positive for heartworms? Since it is difficult to control the mosquitos that spread the nasty heartworm parasite, your dog's best defense is a prescription preventative like Heartgard Plus or Nexgard Plus given once monthly. Since we are seeing a consistent increase in the number of heartworm positive dogs in our area, annual testing is recommended. While heartworm infections can be treated, the treatment is "not for the faint of heart." Definitely an instance where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Have you considered bringing your senior pet in for a wellness check? Dr. Garbel has her beloved rescue, 13-year-old Golden Retriever Sadie, in for blood work, radiographs and ultrasound to monitor for any developing changes. It's the best way to prepare for the future! Schedule your gracefully aging pets to get checked out with us and Dr. Garbel may just make out with your pet, too! 😆😆😆 (we're kidding)
