The Five Point Check(c) is a method that helps you determine when you should deworm your animals other than just FAMACHA(c). This will help control more than just the Barberpole worm!

🚐🐾 On-the-Go Vet Care – A Quick Reminder! 🐾🚐

We love bringing compassionate, convenient care right to your doorstep! As a mobile veterinary practice, we do our best to stay on schedule—but just like in a traditional clinic, emergencies and unexpected delays can happen.

🕒 Please forgive us if we arrive a little earlier or later than expected!
We truly appreciate your patience and flexibility as we care for pets throughout the day. Our priority is always to give each pet the time and attention they deserve—including yours! Sometimes this leads to the need to shift our schedule around some. We will do our best to keep you updated on when we are headed your way, especially if we are ahead or behind schedule.

Thank you for understanding and for trusting us with your furry family members! 💙🐶🐱

🚨 HEARTWORM ALERT 🚨
We’ve seen a concerning increase in heartworm-positive dogs lately, and we want to make sure your pet stays safe!

🦟 Heartworm disease is spread by mosquitoes and can be deadly—but the good news is, it’s nearly 100% preventable.

✅ Annual heartworm tests are essential—even for pets on prevention—to ensure the meds are working. This also helps us catch the heartworm infestation early, and early treatment reduces the heart damage caused by the parasite.
✅ Year-round prevention is the ONLY way to protect your dog in the South. Stopping in the cooler months leaves a dangerous window open when it takes only one mosquito bite to cause infestation.

If your dog is due for a test or needs a refill on their prevention, call or text us today. Let’s keep those tails wagging—heartworm-free. ❤️🐾

📅 Appointment Confirmations Are Required 🐾

As our schedule fills quickly, it’s more important than ever that all appointments are confirmed ahead of time.

🔔 If we do not receive confirmation, we will assume the appointment is no longer needed and will offer that time slot to another client. We cannot guarantee a visit without confirmation.

Confirming helps us stay on track, reduce travel time, and make sure every pet gets the care they need. Thank you for your understanding and continued support! 💙
