🌸 Spring Is Here… and So Is Baby Season!

Help Prevent Unexpected Litters

Springtime means warmer weather, blooming flowers… and lots of puppies and kittens being born. Spaying and neutering your pet is one of the best things you can do for their health and for the pet community.

🌷 Spring Is the Perfect Time

🔥 Paws Off the Pavement! 🐾☀️

It’s heating up out there, and while your pup may be ready for a walk, the pavement might say otherwise!
If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws. 🖐️➡️🐾

Here’s the rule:
☀️ Walk early morning or late evening
🌳 Stick to grass or shaded paths
💧 Bring water for both of you
🐶 Watch for signs of overheating—excessive panting, drooling, or slowing down

Let’s keep those paws safe and tails wagging all summer long! 💛

It's warming up outside and you know what that means? Rattlesnakes….and while we DO have Antivenin here, Antivenin is very expensive. It also has no guarantee it will work and must be given almost immediately to have a successful outcome. We normally follow up with fluids, anti-inflammatories, and antibiotics. The treatment for a rattlesnake bites is around $1500 depending on your animals size and cannot be made in payments. That's why we offer a Rattlesnake vaccine. It is a two series vaccine, and costs $40 each. This vaccination offers protection if a bite were to occur. It is available for both cats and dogs.

What is the difference between the two? The vaccine stimulates a dog/cat to create his own antibodies to rattlesnake venom that will protect him from bites that happen in the future. Antivenin is used to neutralize the snakes venom.

We recommend even if your animal is bit and protected by the vaccination to bring your animal in to get antibiotics and fluid therapy. From our experience, with the vaccination, you don't need the anitvenin but it is always safer to have your animal seen by your vet after any snake bite.

It is always best to be prepared, especially when it comes to your furry friends. Give us a call for more information or to schedule and appointment:)

Good morning! Dr ross has gone to a veterinarian conference in Idaho this week. We do not have a veterinarian to take over when he is gone. We are open for stitches out, nail trims and to pick up food or prescriptions. If your animal is needing to be seen we recommend taking your animal to Animal Emergency and Urgent Care on Easton drive. Their phone number is 661-322-6019.

Good morning lovely people of Taft. Our phones are currently not working 😕 our phones are not a fan of the rainy weather we have been having. Dr. Ross is currently in Mammoth and we do not have a veterinarian in office. We are sorry for any inconveniences.
