September is ideal for fall wellness planning!

Before weather changes and holiday busyness begin, schedule routine care like dental cleanings, pet checkups, and preventative treatments. Fall appointments are often easier to book than winter ones, and catching health issues early means better outcomes and fewer emergency situations later.

Plan ahead for your pet's health!

Pets feel the back-to-school transition too! Suddenly, their favorite humans are gone all day, routines change dramatically, and the house feels different.

Help ease their adjustment by maintaining consistent feeding times, creating special "alone time" activities, and gradually introducing new schedules before school starts. Some pets benefit from extra attention when family members return home.

🚨 Local Tick Alert for Pet Owners 🚨

One of our clients recently discovered dozens of larval ticks on her dog after a walk on a nearby trail. These ticks are extremely tiny—about the size of a black pepper flake—making them very difficult to spot with the naked eye at a quick glance.

🔎 What are larval ticks?
Larval ticks are the earliest life stage of a tick. Even though they’re small, they’re just as eager to attach to a host and can quickly become a problem.

🐾 Why does this matter for your pets?
Because larval ticks are so hard to see, it’s easy for them to go unnoticed. This is why it’s crucial to keep your pets protected with a quality flea and tick preventative—which we carry right here at the clinic. These preventatives not only stop infestations but also protect your pets from tick-borne illnesses.

📍 Where were they found?
These larval ticks were picked up in a heavily trafficked local trail area—a reminder that they are very much in our community and that pets are at risk during outdoor activities.

✅ What you can do:
• Keep your pets on their flea/tick prevention year-round.
• Check your pets after outdoor adventures.
• Call us if you’d like to discuss which preventative is best for your pet—we’re here to help! 724-550-4005

Your pet’s health and comfort are our priority. Let’s stay proactive and keep them protected! 💚
