🐾 Protect Your Pets from Lyme Disease! 🐾

Did you know that Lyme disease is a significant concern in our area? Lyme is transmitted through ticks, and unfortunately, these pests don’t take breaks—even in cooler months. That’s why we recommend keeping your pets on a monthly flea and tick preventative all year long. Here’s what you should know:

🔍 What is Lyme Disease? Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi and can lead to serious health issues in both pets and people. Symptoms in pets can include fever, loss of appetite, swollen joints, and lethargy. Left untreated, it can lead to kidney failure and other complications.

🦟 Year-Round Prevention and Vaccinating is Key!

Monthly Flea & Tick Prevention: Regular preventatives help protect against tick bites that can transmit Lyme and other harmful diseases.

Heartworm Preventative & Annual Testing: Even if your pet stays on heartworm prevention all year, annual testing is essential to ensure they’re safe from this and other diseases.

🐶 We’re here to help. Our team is ready to discuss the best preventive care plan for your pet! Reach out to schedule a visit, get your questions answered, and keep your furry family members safe and healthy.

Meet Paige 🐾

Paige is one of our amazing techs who also seamlessly moves between the front desk and the back, taking on both receptionist and tech duties with ease. Her favorite dog breed is the German Shepherd, of course! Paige loves always learning new things in her role and enjoys being an intermediary between the doctor and pet owners, helping to explain the doctor’s recommendations in a way that’s easy to understand. When she’s not at work, you’ll find her outside on her farm, spending time with her animals or horseback riding. A fun fact about Paige: she won a flag football championship in college! Her advice to pet owners? “Come see us yearly for regular checkups! That way, if your pet ever becomes ill, we already know you and your pet.”

Last-Minute 4th of July Pet Safety Tips
1. Secure Indoor Environment:
Create a Safe Space: Set up a quiet, comfortable area for your pet indoors where they can feel secure. Ideally, this space is away from doors and windows. Include their favorite toys, bedding, and calming items.

Close Windows and Doors: Ensure all windows and doors are securely closed to prevent escapes.

2. Identification:
Update ID Tags and Microchips: Make sure your pet’s ID tags and microchip information are current in case they get lost.

3. Mask Noises Indoors:
Play Background Noise: Use fans, calming music, white noise machines, or the TV to help drown out the sound of fireworks.

4. Avoid Fireworks Exposure:
Keep Away from Fireworks: Do not bring pets to fireworks displays or let them near fireworks at home.

5. Secure Outdoor Areas:
Check Fences and Gates: Ensure your yard is secure if your pet needs to go outside for a bathroom break. You may even want to bring them out on a leash versus letting them roam freely.
