April is National Heartworm Awareness Month.
Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes, which bite an infected dog and ingest the heartworm larvae. The larvae develop into their infected stage inside the mosquito, which then bites another dog or cat and infects it with the heartworm larvae.
For dogs and cats on prevention, the prevention will kill the larvae before it can get to the heart and set up residence where it's a lot harder to treat.
For dogs and cats who aren't on prevention, a heartworm infection can cause heart problems down the road.
Give us a call today to set up an appointment for a heartworm test and pick up your pets prevention. Their hearts will thank you for it.

In a new TikTok cooking series, beloved social media pup Nala (and her owner, Chris) shows us how to make dog-friendly waffles.

Strength and Conditioning is about more than just running around…

Strength and conditioning for dogs is more than just taking them for a walk or running around in the back yard. It helps us build a stronger relationship with our dogs, helps them learn confidence, teaches them new tricks, and it helps wear out their minds so they’re a little less likely to create havoc.
In this video Rena is learning a new exercise for the first time.

Strength and conditioning for dogs is more than just taking them for a walk or running around in the back yard. It’s about working specific muscle groups in different ways to help focus on preventing injuries and to help maintain muscle as our pets get older. It’s great for both our canine athletes and our couch potatoes. It also gets their humans up and moving too!
