The tick activity is crazy this year! We have pulled off ticks from many pets. Make sure your pets are getting their parasite preventatives every month!
Not sure what to use? Give us a call!

Tick activity in the United States has reached levels not seen in nearly a decade, and data suggest some states are worse off than others: https://www.woodtv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/us-tick-activity-at-highest-in-a-decade-heres-how-to-protect-yourself/

Bentley did great for his Senior Plus testing today!
We know seniors require extra care as they age - that’s why we add in annual testing for blood pressure, eye pressure, and tear production at no extra charge to our senior exams. Catching diseases early - like glaucoma - is the best way to keep them happy and healthy as they enter their golden years 💛

❄️🚨ALERT🚨❄️
It is cold out there! Here are some tips to keep your pets safe during this cold snap:
Limit outdoor time – Even pets with thick coats are at risk for hypothermia and frostbite. Short, supervised potty breaks only!
Protect their paws – Ice, salt, and de-icers can cause burns and irritation. Wipe paws after walks and watch for limping or licking.
Provide warm shelter - no animal should be left outside during extreme cold.
Check vehicles – Cats may seek warmth under car hoods. Knock on the hood or honk before starting your car.
Fresh water matters – Ensure outdoor water sources aren’t frozen.

Stay warm and safe out there! ❤️🐾
