Heartworm disease is a serious, potentially fatal condition caused by parasitic worms transmitted through mosquito bites. These worms live in a dog’s heart and lungs, causing damage and leading to symptoms like coughing, fatigue, difficulty breathing, and weight loss. Early detection is key! Monthly preventatives can protect your dog, but once infected, treatment is costly and risky. Talk to your vet about testing and prevention today to keep your dog heartworm-free!

🐾 Protect Your Pup: Vaccination Matters! 🐾

Ensuring your puppy gets their vaccinations on time is one of the best ways to keep them healthy and safe. Vaccines help prevent serious and sometimes life-threatening diseases like parvo, distemper, and rabies. Not only do they protect your pup, but they also help protect other pets and people in your community.

🐶 Why are vaccinations important?
• Preventing deadly diseases: Vaccines protect your puppy from illnesses that could be fatal or cause long-term damage.
• Building immunity: Early vaccinations give your puppy the immune boost they need to grow into a strong, healthy adult dog.
• Public health: Vaccines like rabies are crucial for the safety of both animals and humans.

Talk to your vet about the best vaccination schedule for your pup and make sure they get the protection they deserve. Healthy puppy = happy puppy! 🐕💉

🦷🐾 Dog Dental Health: More Important Than You Think! 🐾🦷

Did you know that dental health is just as important for your dog as it is for you? Regular professional dental cleanings and radiographs (X-rays) are essential for maintaining a healthy mouth and preventing serious dental issues that can lead to pain, infections, and even organ damage!

Here’s why professional dental care matters:
✨ Prevent Gum Disease – Gum disease is the #1 cause of tooth loss in dogs. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, preventing harmful bacteria from affecting your dog’s health.
✨ Detect Hidden Problems – Radiographs allow us to spot issues under the gumline, such as abscesses, broken teeth, or bone infections, that aren’t visible to the naked eye.
✨ Improve Overall Health – Poor dental health can lead to heart, liver, and kidney problems. Keeping your dog’s teeth clean helps protect their whole body.

Don’t wait until your dog shows signs of pain or discomfort! Regular dental care can help them live a longer, healthier life. 🐕💙

What Is Laser Therapy for Dogs?

Laser therapy for dogs is an alternative therapy used to manage pain, inflammation (swelling), and wound healing. The interaction between light from the laser and the dog’s tissues is called photobiomodulation. Laser therapy uses light of a single wavelength ranging from visible red to infrared.

When your pup gets a therapeutic laser treatment, they’re getting a low-level or cold laser therapy. Cold laser therapies for dogs lower pain and encourage healing by:

Causing the release of endorphins

Decreasing the release of inflammatory chemicals

Causing lymphatic vessels to dilate (expand so fluid moves out of the tissue)

• Increasing blood flow to an area

Most dogs are not sedated for this procedure and rest comfortably during treatment.

Laser therapy is usually done on an outpatient basis, with sessions typically lasting 15 to 30 minutes. A very small wound, however, may only take a couple of minutes while multiple joints may take closer to an hour
