"The enormous pet industry within the United States has funded a lot of research and development into products that can help improve quality of life for our pets. Some of the new products that have been brought to the market recently include:

Solensia -- a safe, injectable arthritis medication for felines
Librela -- a safe, injectable arthritis medication for canines
Bexacat -- an oral medication to treat feline diabetes
Varenzin -- a medication to treat anemia due to kidney disease in felines
NexGard Combo -- a monthly preventative for felines that addresses heartworms, hookworms, roundworms, fleas, ticks & tapeworms
NexGard Plus -- a monthly preventative for canines that addresses heartworms, hookworms, roundworms, fleas, ticks & tapeworms

And even cooler, there are a couple of new uses for old drugs including the use of low doses of ketamine for arthritic pain and the use of Vetmedin in dogs for certain stages of heart disease prior to the onset of heart failure.

If you feel any of these medications may help your pet, please ask us about them during your annual wellness exam!"

It's Heartworm Awareness Month!

Here's a note from Dr. Jaclyn Adkins about the disease:

"Dog owners are likely familiar with hearing us ask about heartworm tests and prevention, but often don’t realize why it is so important. Heartworms are a prevalent parasite in the area spread by mosquitoes. That means, even inside pets are at risk, because who hasn’t seen a mosquito in their house from time to time? All it takes is one bite from one of those pesky guys and your dog, cat or ferret can be infected.

Heartworms are unique parasites in that they do not impact the GI system, but rather the circulatory system. This poses a much more serious risk to our furry friends than the average parasite. These worms live in the heart and blood vessels. The reason this disease is so deadly, is that they damage all organs throughout the body as the worms pass through them. The longer it goes untreated, the more worms there are, the more damage is caused. If left untreated, it is fatal.

Treatment is a long process and often thousands of dollars in total. Not to mention, it is often painful for your pet and comes with risks. Although, the risk of not treating is often higher than the risk of treatment. If your pet is positive for heartworm, we can walk you through the specifics of what treatment looks like and the risks.

Thankfully, there are many prevention options available that are far cheaper than treatment and very safe! Personal favorites of mine are Simparica Trio as it prevents heartworms, flea, ticks, and some intestinal worms all in one monthly pill. Interceptor Plus is also a great option and can be paired with any of our flea and tick preventatives. Revolution Plus is good for cats, and Revolution is helpful for those picky dogs who don’t like the oral preventatives. However, missing a single dose of any monthly heartworm preventative puts your dog at risk for heartworms. For this reason, for my personal dogs, I use ProHeart12 injections and it prevents heartworms for the next 12 months. I prefer this, because as a busy mom of 2, I even forget to give my dogs their monthly preventative from time to time. ProHeart12 is often given at a dog’s annual exam with their vaccines and then the only prevention you need to worry about is their flea and tick prevention! With so many options, please talk with our staff about your personal pet’s needs to find the best preventative strategy for you!

If you are interested in learning more about heartworms, the American Heartworm Society is a great resource! https://www.heartwormsociety.org/pet-owner-resources"

On this day back in 1912, struck an iceberg during her maiden voyage. Did you know that 3 dogs were able to escape with their owners? According to the American Kennel Club's website, a Pomeranian named Lady, a Pekingese named Sun Yat Sen & another Pomeranian (name unknown) all survived. These pooches were small and being kept in their owners' rooms - not in the kennels - so the owners were able to smuggle them onto lifeboats under their coats or tucked in blankets. Today we pause to remember the 1,500+ people and at least 9 other dogs who lost their lives. 🙏

Have you ever noticed that cats walk with both right feet first, followed by both left feet, so they move half of their body forward at once? Camels and giraffes are the only other animals that walk that way!
