⚠️ Hair Tie Warning for Pet Owners! 🐾

For some reason, many pets find hair ties irresistible. While we don’t know exactly why they’re so appealing, even ONE hair tie can become lodged in the stomach or intestines, causing a life-threatening blockage that may require emergency surgery.
Keep hair ties, rubber bands, and other small stretchy items out of reach. A few seconds of prevention could save your pet’s life. ❤️
If you think your pet may have swallowed a hair tie, don’t wait, contact your veterinarian right away!

🦟 It only takes ONE mosquito.

This jar contains heartworms removed from a dog’s heart.

“But my dog is on prevention.”

We hear that every day.

✔️ A dose could have been missed.
✔️ Another pet in the house could have eaten the medication.
✔️ Vomiting after administration can happen.
✔️ Life happens.

Heartworm prevention is amazing, but it is not a substitute for annual testing.

By the time symptoms appear, the damage to the heart and lungs may already be severe.

Heartworm disease is expensive to treat, dangerous to your pet, and completely preventable.

Don’t assume.
Don’t guess.
Test yearly. Protect for life. ❤️
