Please be patient while we navigate our new system. We will be closed on MONDAY, JULY 29th from 4:30pm-6pm while our system switches over. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

You may have heard that there is a new Canine Respiratory Disease that has been spreading throughout other states. According to the ISVMA (Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association), as of yesterday, there have not been any confirmed cases of the atypical canine respiratory disease in Illinois.
With this being said, it is best to take precautions to decrease the potential for exposure to this disease. Avoid dog parks, doggy daycare, boarding, training, or other places where large amounts of dogs may be in contact with each other.
Make sure your animals are up to date of their vaccines in the event they do come down with an upper respiratory disease, it will be easier to rule out Influenza and Bordetella if they are already protected.
Last, if your pet does become ill, call us right away. If you need to bring your sick pet in for an exam, please call from your car and we will bring you into an exam room to decrease the exposure in our lobby.
Have a healthy and safe Thanksgiving!

We would like to wish all of our clients a Happy Fourth of July! We will be open on Monday, July 3rd for our regular hours and we will be CLOSED on Tuesday, July 4th and reopen on Wednesday, July 5th for our normal schedule. If you need refills on medication or food please plan accordingly since shipments will be delayed and some medications and food are on backorder.

A lot of pets are scared and nervous with fireworks so we do suggest leaving your pets at home while you enjoy the firework show. If they are scared you can try a few things such as turning up the tv or radio, act like everything is normal (do not give into the whining or crying, give them a toy such as a Kong to keep them busy, use a compression vest or suit ie: Thundershirt, or lastly some animals need prescription medication to help them relax.

If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to us.
Thank you,

TICKS are out in full force! A puppy came in for a neuter and these are some of the ticks we removed. Over 30! These ticks carry Lyme, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasmosis which are all tick borne diseases that can cause serious illness to your pets. Most of the natural and over the counter flea and tick preventatives are not appropriate for the amount of ticks we are seeing in the area. Please protect your pets from these parasites.

This is HEARTWORM DISEASE!! What you see moving around in the video is microfilaria or baby heartworms. If your pet is not on heartworm preventative it only takes 1 mosquito bite for your pet to become infected. Please protect your pet so they won't need to go through painful and expensive treatment. 💔

04/06/2023

The weather has been all over the place lately, but it does look like warmer weather is on its way. Just a reminder if you haven't been giving year round heartworm and flea and tick prevention to make sure you pickup some soon. Ticks have already been out for several weeks and with such a mild winter they are most likely going to be very bad this year. If your pet is current on their annual exam, you can stop in and purchase some when we are open. We also have the very easy chewable tablet that prevents against heartworm disease, fleas, and ticks and you only need to give 1 preventative a month! Enjoy the beautiful weekend and leave the bugs outside 🐾
