National Best Friends Day
You + your furry BFF. We couldn't think of a more perfect duo. ๐ค
Happy #NationalBestFriendsDay besties! ๐ป
National Rescue Dog Day
Weโre celebrating #NationalRescueDogDay by giving a shout out to all of the paw-some rescue groups and animal shelters in our community. If youโre looking to adopt a new furry friend, we recommend checking out Amy's Adoptables, Community Cats, or Long Dog and Friends! ๐ป No matter their size, color, or breed, dogs will find a way to nuzzle, fetch, or beg their way into your heart. You will find it hard not to scratch one behind the ear.
Rescue dogs often overcome extreme obstacles. And yet, they provide comfort, security, and friendship as family pets. With training, they can also contribute to the independence of people with disabilities as service animals and give comfort to the elderly. In these circumstances, they become our eyes, ears, or legs as well as our best friend.

Parasite Prevention Month
Though it's still chilly outside, March is #ParasitePreventionMonth because the pests that affect our pets most don't wait for summer! ๐ฉ
Mosquitoes can spread heartworms, a harmful infestation disease that affects both dogs and cats, although it is more commonly seen in dogs.
The flea is a hardy insect with a lifespan of 6 - 12 months! ๐ Fleas thrive when the weather is warm and humid, but aggressively seek warm hosts when the weather is cool. All cats (even those that stay indoors) and dogs are susceptible to flea infestations. Beyond the skin irritation and discomfort, flea infestations can lead to the development of flea-bite anemia from blood loss. ๐ฌ
Ticks are small insects, but they can pose a very big danger to our pets and our families. Ticks don't mind a bit of chilly weather, or even snow, and can be found in our area year round! ๐ณ In addition to using a preventative, donโt forget to check your dog or catโs neck, ears, the folds between the legs and the body, and between the toes, for ticks that have hitched a ride. ๐ต Give us a call to talk about parasite preventatives today! #parasiteprevention
