☀️ Lake days are here! 🐾🌊

Before you and your pup hit the water, make sure they’re protected all summer long.

Did you know dogs can be exposed to leptospirosis through contaminated water sources, and ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes become much more active during the warmer months?

Help keep your best friend protected with:
✔️ Leptospirosis vaccination
✔️ Flea & tick prevention
✔️ Heartworm prevention

And if your adventure buddy happens to be a cat, we’ve got them covered too! 🐱❤️ We offer vaccines and prevention options for our feline friends as well.

Need to get your pet up to date? Join us at our upcoming vaccine clinics:

📍 Downtown Shipton’s – Saturday, June 13 | 10 AM–1 PM
📍 Heights Shipton’s – Wednesday, June 17 | 5PM-7PM

We can’t wait to see you and your furry family members this summer! ☀️🐾

🐾 Still Looking for the Perfect Home 🐾

We’re continuing to search for a loving home for this special pup. ❤️

This sweet dog would do best in a quiet home where furniture doesn’t get rearranged often and routines stay fairly consistent. A calm environment will help them feel safe, comfortable, and confident.

🏡 Let’s help this deserving dog find the loving home they deserve.

Please share! 🐶💕

🦷 Not All Dental Disease Is Visible

This tooth was recently removed from a patient, and it’s a great example of why regular dental exams are so important.

While part of the tooth appeared relatively normal, one root had severe decay and infection hidden beneath the gumline. This led to a painful abscess that wasn’t obvious from the outside.

Pets are incredibly good at hiding dental pain, so even if they’re still eating and acting normal, they may be dealing with significant discomfort.

Signs of dental disease can include:
• Bad breath
• Dropping food while eating
• Pawing at the mouth
• Red or swollen gums
• Decreased interest in chew toys
• Facial swelling

Annual dental exams help us identify problems before they become painful infections and can help keep your pet happier and healthier for years to come.

If it’s been over a year since your pet’s dental checkup, give us a call to schedule an exam! 🐾💙

📸 Photo shows a tooth with one severely diseased root and one root that appeared much more normal—a reminder that dental disease isn’t always visible on the surface.

🐾 Looking for a special home 🏡

This sweet 9-year-old boy is searching for a calm, loving home to spend his golden years in. He is neutered, incredibly sweet, non-reactive, and great with kids. ❤️

He is blind, so he would do best in a quiet home where the furniture stays in the same place to help him safely navigate and feel comfortable 😊

He may not see the world the same way anymore, but he still has so much love left to give to the right person. 🐶✨

Please message if interested or if you know someone who could give this sweet boy the peaceful home he deserves.
