Now that spring is upon us it's time to start up monthly heartworm prevention for your pup! Heartworm is a parasite transmitted by mosquitos that can cause severe heart and lung disease in animals. The good news- it is almost 100% preventable in dogs and cats with a monthly chewable tablet.
🦟
The @americanheartwormsociety recommends annual heartworm testing even if preventative medication is given year round. One of our patients recently tested positive for heartworm even after being on months of prevention and we caught it on film (top right corner of the video)! Just goes to show how important it is to do yearly heartworm tests!
🦟
Give us a call to schedule a nurse appointment to get a heartworm test and prevention from us this spring, we would love to see you and your pet! The test needs just 3 drops of blood and takes 10 minutes to run.

Did you know we offer laser therapy here at Ski Town Animal Hospital? ⚡ Here's a time-lapse of a typical session with sweet Stanley who has been coming in the last couple weeks for laser treatments.
⚡
Stanley came in with pain in his hind right leg. Although at first he's not so sure about the treatment, at about 0:44 seconds in the video you can see him relax. That's because it feels good!
⚡
Laser therapy can be used for pain like Stanley, but patients who suffer from inflammation, wounds, or chronic conditions benefit from treatment as well. Many pets feel relief immediately and with multiple treatments owners begin to notice overall improvement in movement and comfort.
⚡
Think your pet would benefit from laser therapy? (Or just want them to wear those ADORABLE goggles?) Give us a call! 970-879-3486
