🚨🐶 Keep your pets safe from rabies! 🐱🚨

Rabies is a viral disease that can be deadly for both pets and humans. It's transmitted through bites from infected animals like bats, skunks, raccoons, and foxes. The virus attacks the brain and spinal cord, leading to severe symptoms such as aggression, excessive drooling, and seizures. Sadly, there's no cure for rabies, and it's almost always fatal once signs appear.

Protect your pet from rabies by keeping them up-to-date on their rabies vaccine. Don't forget to keep your distance from wild animals, and always supervise your pet when outside. If you're concerned about rabies or need to schedule a vaccine appointment, give us a call at 772-217-4771 to speak with a veterinarian.

🐶 Lyme disease can be difficult to diagnose in pets because they do not develop the classic bullseye rash seen in humans. In fact, many pets show no signs at all, or their signs are often vague and nonspecific, which sometimes results in an incorrect or delayed diagnosis.

Lyme disease testing (i.e., a blood test) is advised for pets with clinical signs that include fever, lethargy, appetite loss, swollen lymph nodes, intermittent lameness, and painful or swollen joints.

Protect your furry friend from this debilitating condition by contacting us at 772-217-4771 and asking about annual tick-borne disease testing. Stay informed and keep your pet healthy! 🦟

We love our vet techs, help us celebrate them.
They work hard, long hours to be there for your pets needs.
They deserve the recognition today and everyday. ❤️
