🐾 Results Are In From Our Second Tick-Borne Disease Testing Clinic! 🐾

Thank you to everyone who participated in yesterday’s clinic. The response was incredible once again, and we completed 17 tick-borne disease tests.

Of those 17 tests, 10 pets tested positive for Lyme disease and/or Anaplasmosis.

While many pets may not show obvious signs of illness, these results highlight just how common tick exposure has become in our area and why prevention is so important.

✅ Year-round tick prevention
✅ Regular wellness exams
✅ Lyme vaccination
✅ Annual tick-borne disease testing

These simple steps can help protect your pet from potentially serious tick-related illnesses.

We are very encouraged by the level of interest and awareness from our community. Thank you for helping us keep your pets healthy and protected!

📞 We have a few openings left for out June 11th testing clinic. Give us a call or send us an email if you’d like to take part.

If you have questions about tick prevention, Lyme vaccination, or testing, please contact our clinic.

🦔 Porcupines are out and about this time of year — especially during the early morning and later evening hours!

We’ve recently been seeing more pets coming in with quills, and trust us… it’s not a fun experience for anyone involved. 😣

To help protect your pets:
• Keep dogs leashed during dawn and dusk walks
• Watch for unusual sniffing, barking, or sudden yelping outdoors

If your pet does get quilled, please do not attempt to remove embedded quills at home. Contact us as soon as possible, as quills can migrate and cause serious complications.

Stay safe out there and give your furry friends an extra cuddle from us! 🐾

⚠️ Parvovirus Alert ⚠️

We would like to inform our clients that we recently diagnosed a positive case of parvovirus in a young puppy.

Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening disease that primarily affects puppies and unvaccinated dogs. Symptoms may include:• Vomiting• Severe diarrhea (often bloody)• Lethargy• Loss of appetite• Fever

Parvo spreads easily through contact with infected dogs, f***s, and contaminated surfaces. Vaccination is the best protection against this serious disease.

Please ensure your puppies are up to date on their vaccination schedule and avoid high-risk public areas until they are fully vaccinated. If your dog is showing any concerning signs, contact our clinic immediately.

Let’s work together to keep our pets safe and healthy.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there — whether your babies have two legs, four legs, paws, hooves, or even say “moo”! 💐🐾🐄

Today we celebrate the love, care, patience, and hard work that moms give every single day. From busy farm moms caring for calves and cows, to pet moms snuggling their furry companions, to moms caring for their families — we appreciate you all.

Wishing you a wonderful Mother’s Day filled with love, laughter, and maybe a little extra relaxation! 💕

Thank you to everyone who participated in our recent Tick Borne Diseases Testing Clinic! 🐾

We completed 18 SNAP 4DX tests:• 3 dogs tested positive for Lyme disease• 4 dogs tested positive for Anaplasmosis• 11 dogs tested negative

The dogs who tested positive were asymptomatic, meaning they were showing no clinical signs at the time of testing. Early detection is so important when it comes to tick-borne diseases.

We were very impressed with the interest and participation in our Testing Clinic. With tick-borne diseases continuing to increase in our area, prevention is more important than ever. Vaccinations and year-round tick and flea prevention remain the best defense for your pets.

Stay tuned — we will be hosting another clinic again soon! 🐶🐾
