Most recent statistics show 500+ HEARTWORM (+) dogs in NY, and those are just reported cases! That's the highest incidence range possible, so this disease is no longer just a southern problem. As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. 💔

Super important warning from one of our clients regarding XYLITOL as an ingredient in some baby wipes. Most of you know by now that xylitol is HIGHLY TOXIC to dogs, but this is an odd product to find it in. (Apparently xylitol has humectant properties in addition to being an artificial sweetener.)

More rescue dogs being transported from the south is one reason we are seeing more heartworm cases in our area, so heartworm prevention is more important than ever. 💔🪱

Heartworms DON'T make good neighbors.

⚠️ Apoquel® Chewable is a prescription allergy medication commonly used in dogs. The tablets are small and pork-liver flavored, which makes them easy to administer — but also appealing to both dogs and cats.

After the chewable formulation was introduced in 2023, pet poison control centers reported a marked increase in pets becoming ill after ingesting medication not prescribed for them or consuming more than their prescribed dose. Cases have involved both dogs and cats.

Store all medications in a locked cabinet, out of reach of pets. If you suspect your pet has ingested medication not prescribed for them or consumed more than prescribed, seek veterinary care immediately.

You can also contact a pet poison control center for guidance:

Pet Poison Helpline: (855) 764-7661 (consultation fee applies)
ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center: (888) 426-4435 (consultation fee applies)

⚠️ Apoquel® Chewable es un medicamento recetado para las alergias que se usa comúnmente en perros. Las tabletas son pequeñas y tienen sabor a hígado de cerdo, lo que facilita su administración, pero también las hace atractivas tanto para perros como para gatos.

Después de que la formulación masticable se introdujo en 2023, los centros de control de envenenamiento de mascotas reportaron un aumento notable en los casos de mascotas que se enfermaron tras ingerir el medicamento que no les habían sido recetado o al consumir más de la dosis indicada. Se han registrado casos tanto en perros como en gatos.

Guarde todos los medicamentos en un gabinete cerrado y fuera del alcance de las mascotas. Si sospecha que su mascota ha ingerido un medicamento que no le fue recetado o ha consumido más de la dosis indicada, busque atención veterinaria de inmediato. También puede comunicarse con un centro de control de envenenamiento de mascotas para recibir orientación:

Pet Poison Helpline: (855) 764-7661 (se aplica tarifa de consulta)
ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center: (888) 426-4435 (se aplica tarifa de consulta)
