Some good information from the American Heartworm Society-unfortunately Heartworms are very prevalent in our area. Have your pet checked yearly for heartworms and have them on a monthly heartworm prevention.
Heartworms are born, live and die inside of dogs--with a stop along the way inside mosquitoes. That's why your dog needs year-round heartworm prevention AND yearly heartworm testing. https://bit.ly/3wCYi0G

🐾 Is your pet at a healthy weight? The body condition score chart is a more accurate tool than just looking at the number on the scale. Keep these points in mind when evaluating your pet's body condition:
😽🐶 You should be able to feel their ribs under a slight fat covering.
😽🐶 Your pet should have a visible waistline when viewed from above.
😽🐶 Your pet should have an abdominal tuck.
😽🐶 If you can see your pet’s ribs and spine, they are too thin.
😽🐶 On the other hand, if your pet has no discernible waistline and their belly sags, they’re too heavy.
Consult with our team to ensure your pet is at a healthy weight.

🐾🚫 Millions of pets are euthanized every year at shelters across the country because there aren't enough homes for them all. One way to help prevent this problem is by spaying or neutering your pet.
💉🐶 This simple procedure ensures your pet does not produce offspring and add to the overpopulation.
👍📞Call (817) 523-7210 to talk to your veterinarian about the benefits of spaying or neutering your furry friend.

🦟 Beware pet owners! Heartworms can be a serious threat to your furry friend's health.
😢 When a mosquito bites an infected dog, they ingest heartworm larvae, which can mature in the mosquito before being transmitted to the next pet the insect bites. In dogs, heartworms can mature to adulthood, mate, and produce offspring in their heart, causing significant health problems. While cats are atypical hosts, immature heartworms can still cause them health problems. 🐾
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 by calling (817) 523-7210, so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.
Unfortunately, accidents, injuries, and illnesses sometimes befall our precious pets. However, there are several steps you can take to decrease these incidents. Check out our latest blog post in which we explore common pet emergencies and how they can be prevented.

One way to combat excessive barking is by providing your furry friend with plenty of mental stimulation. You can accomplish this through activities like obedience training, agility courses, and scent work. Try incorporating new and challenging games to help keep your dog's mind active and alert. A mentally stimulated dog is less likely to bark out of boredom.

🌱🐾 Pet owners, be cautious when using fertilizers in your lawn or garden!
👀 While most fertilizers are relatively safe, your pet may experience skin irritation or mild gastrointestinal symptoms if they come into contact with or ingest the product. If you suspect your pet has been exposed to fertilizer, use warm water to remove it from their skin and watch for any symptoms.
👍 Follow instructions and keep your pet away from fertilized areas to keep them safe and healthy!🙏
🐾🌡️ Counting calories and exercising daily are great ways to keep your pet at a healthy weight. But what if the number on the scale isn't budging? Your furry friend may have an underlying health condition that makes weight loss difficult.

Once the condition is under control, weight loss becomes much easier. Need help managing your pet's weight? Call (817) 523-7210 to talk to your veterinarian.

🌼🐜 Pets and gardens go together like bees and honey, but watch out for potential toxins from wildlife!
👀 Insects, amphibians, and wild reptiles can have natural toxins that are harmful to pets.
🕷️ Bees and wasps are common garden visitors that can cause pain and even an allergic reaction in some pets. If your pet’s face starts to swell after a bee sting, take them to the vet for prompt treatment.
💉 Keep your pets safe while enjoying nature by being vigilant and informed.🌳

Purring and grooming go hand in hand for our feline friends! Did you know that cats licking themselves is a natural way for them to stay clean and hygienic? Their rough tongue acts as a grooming tool, reducing their scent and helping them to avoid predators and hunt more effectively. Keep an eye on your cat's grooming habits, as a decrease in licking could indicate the onset of an illness.
Have you ever wondered why cats always seem to land on their feet? It's all thanks to their amazing aerial righting reflex! This unique combination of vestibular balance, flexibility, and body mechanics allows cats to always land safely, even after a fall. But did you know, this reflex has roots in their wild predator days? With the occasional fall from a tree, cats developed this ability to always land on their paws.
Do you ever wonder why your furry friend seems to have a knack for knocking over objects and scratching up your furniture? From practicing hunting skills to stretching their bodies and marking their territory, it's all in a day's work for these curious creatures. Save your furniture and keep your cat happy by providing them with plenty of toys and a tall scratching post for a full-body stretch.
Have you ever wondered why your feline friend brings you their latest catch? It's actually a sign of affection! Your kitty sees you as a member of their family and is proud to present their prey as a gift. Keep your furry hunter safe by using a bell on their collar to both them and to protect local wildlife. And, as always, don't forget to protect them from parasites both inside and out with regular preventative medication. ❤️🐈
