Happy International Cat Day! Today is a good day to remind everyone that we do not recommend dry cat food! BTW, did you know that domestic cats are considered to be an "invasive" species in North America? 🐱🐯

Bravecto Quantum has been approved for use in dogs in the US. It is not a vaccine! Fluralaner, the active ingredient in Bravecto Quantum, belongs to a class of antiparasitic drugs called isoxazolines. At this time, we will NOT be offering it to our patients, but we will monitor the real world data on it's safety and possibly offer it in the future.

Today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Bravecto Quantum (fluralaner for extended-release injectable suspension), for use in dogs and puppies 6 months of age and older.

Got 2 calls today about the "flea vaccine" today. Bravecto Quantum is an injectable parasiticide that may provide up to a full year of flea and tick protection for dogs, but it is NOT AVAILABLE IN THE US.

He's so fat, he got stuck! The problem of animal obesity, in both dogs and cats, is indeed an epidemic in this country. We do not endorse Iams pet food, but we approve this message.

The balloon is just the beginning for IAMS' mission to support better dog health and wellness.

Puppies and kittens are nice, but older animals have stories to tell.

Deaf, very matted, and suffering from an autoimmune condition, Polly's prospects for adoption were dim. Until Sarah came along.
