🐶🐱 Roundworms: More Common Than You Think! 🪱

Roundworms are one of the most common intestinal parasites found in both dogs and cats—especially puppies and kittens. Infected pets may not always show signs, but they can experience:
🪱 Pot-bellied appearance
🪱 Diarrhea or vomiting
🪱 Weight loss or poor growth
🪱 Dull coat
🪱 Worms visible in the stool or vomit

Did you know? Puppies and kittens can be infected before they’re even born or through their mother’s milk, making early deworming essential.

💊 Routine deworming is one of the easiest ways to protect your pet’s health. It helps eliminate existing parasites, reduces environmental contamination, and lowers the risk of transmission to other pets—and even people, as roundworms can be spread to humans.

The best protection includes:
✔️ Routine deworming based on your veterinarian’s recommendations
✔️ Year-round parasite prevention
✔️ Prompt cleanup of pet waste

Healthy pets start with parasite prevention! If your dog or cat is due for their wellness exam or deworming, give us a call to book an appointment or get a refill!

👂🐱 Is your cat constantly scratching their ears? It could be ear mites!

Ear mites are tiny parasites that live in the ear canal and are especially common in kittens and outdoor cats. They’re highly contagious between cats and can cause significant discomfort if left untreated.

Common signs of ear mites include:
• Excessive ear scratching or rubbing
• Frequent head shaking
• Dark brown or black, coffee-ground-like debris in the ears
• Red, inflamed, or painful ears
• Hair loss around the ears from scratching

The good news? Ear mites are treatable! Your veterinarian can confirm the diagnosis with an ear examination and prescribe effective treatment to eliminate the mites and soothe your cat’s irritated ears.

💡 Don’t ignore the signs. Untreated ear mites can lead to secondary ear infections and ongoing discomfort.

If your cat is showing any of these symptoms, give us a call to schedule an appointment. We’re here to help keep those ears healthy and itch-free! 🩺🐾

🩺 Blood Pressure Matters—Especially for Heart Health. ❤️

Did you know that monitoring your pet’s blood pressure is an important part of evaluating and managing heart disease?

Just like in people, blood pressure that’s too high or too low can affect how well the heart, kidneys, brain, and eyes function. Regular blood pressure checks help us:
• Detect hypertension or hypotension early
• Monitor the progression of cardiac disease
• Assess how well heart medications are working
• Make adjustments to treatment when needed

The test is quick, non-invasive, and well tolerated by most pets. It provides valuable information that helps us tailor the best care plan for your furry family member.

If your pet has been diagnosed with a heart murmur, heart disease, or is taking cardiac medications, routine blood pressure monitoring is an important part of keeping them healthy and comfortable.

❤️ Healthy heart. Better quality of life.
