The summer time always brings out the sun🌞, but sadly also the bugs.

This year, ticks have been incredibly prevalent. We have seen them earlier and more of them. With that, there has been an increase in some tick-borne diseases.

Call 217-328-4143 for more information on preventative and tick information.

"Dogs can become infected with intestinal parasites through
exposure to contaminated soil or f***s that contain the eggs or
larvae of hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms. Bring a
sample to your pet’s next visit to be tested!" -IDEXX Laboratory

Dogs and cats can experience exposure in a lot of ways throughout their lives.

We ourselves can bring in things on our clothes, shoes, etc. that a critter can get exposure from. This is why we suggest annual f***l test, even for a healthy/asymptomatic pets.

This is the best way to prevent the passing of parasites within our community. 💩💩

Spring is coming and so is the big 2024 Cicada surge.

"There are two species of cicadas commonly found in large numbers in Illinois. First, there are dog-day or annual cicadas that emerge every year. Second, there are periodical cicadas that emerge every 13 years in the southern half of Illinois and every 17 years in the northern half of the state.

2024 is a big year for periodical cicadas in Illinois, where Broods XIII and XIX will be emerging throughout much of the state at the same time. The simultaneous emergence is the first time since 1803 and will not happen again until 2245. Cicadas do not pose a threat to humans or pets, although newly planted trees or shrubs may be a different story."

- University of Illinois; Periodical Cicada 2024 Broods of Illinois Fact Sheet

For more information, attached is an interview with AVMA President, Dr. Rena Carlson on the topic.

Ahead of the double cicada brood emergence set for Spring 2024, the president of the American Veterinary Medical Association shares how to prepare dogs and cats for the event.

April is Adopt a Ferret Month!! 😍

These quick, little mammals belong to the Mustelidae or weasel family. These animals are social and playful, and make great pets when in the right environment.

These animals are thought to have been domesticated in Europe from their local polecats. They were bred for hunting rabbits and rodents, and are obligate carnivores.

They are incredibly clever companions!

Check out our handout below.
