Your monthly reminder - tomorrow is the day to give your heartworm medication for September - where did the summer go!!

It's been quite warm but remember the ticks can still make a return in the fall when temps stay above 4 degrees - we recommend treating all summer and to November.
Those giving Spectra do get the flea/tick coverage included with their heartworm prevention June through November.

* Holiday alert *
Dr Liana is taking a few days off next week - much deserved and required!

We appreciate you understanding that it may take a day or 2 to do refills of medications - and we normally appreciate at least 24 hrs notice for refills. So check those bottles and best to email and we can arrange drop off or pick ups.

Even better if you can wait until next Friday when we are back at it. Jon & Carol will both be on duty remotely.

Well if you could use a good laugh owner gave me permission to share an update he sent via email about their dog (x's indicate where I changed to post to protect identity). We had seen the dog for lameness and sent a joint supplement called Movoflex and suggested weight loss and rest..
-----------------

Molly is doing great… she is back to going after trespassing tree squirrels, deer, vehicles. Yesterday she was digging after a 13-line gopher she found with her nose in the tall grass. I know she is supposed to be taking it easy… I heard the veterinarian instructions… but you can’t stop Molly from being a farm dog… it’s not in her nature!

At the moment she is resting on the deck beside me… later she will be resting outside the “xx work office” while wife & I work inside… doing her very serious job of guarding the farm!

My thoughts on the MOVOFLEX advantage… like the coupon code… it really helps Molly to MOVE!!! We will have to arrange a recurring supply, every 2 months, because I firmly believe it works wonders for Molly. Thank you so much for the advice & product.

As to Molly’s body condition… I told her this is the second time the doctor has said she is a “7” and that she should be a “5”. Molly’s reply… “7” is the new “5”!!! How do you argue with that logic & reasoning? She can be such a “smart ass” dog sometimes… last time her excuse was “I’m carrying a little bit of Holiday weight”!

Of course my wife is also scolding me for spoiling Molly… so now I have 2 girls giving me attitude… plus the veterinarian team admonishments of the past 2 vet visits… I tell you it’s not easy for me!

I’m now thinking there’s got to be a support group for “Dog lovers who wish they were dogs because they always seem to be in the doghouse” (it’s a lengthy title for a support group I know… but accurate).

All the best to all of you at Petmobile & kind regards,

Hope you enjoy the chuckle.

Summer holiday hangover? Boss away? Gremlins in computer??
Heartworm/tick med reminder...oops

No real excuses - the scheduled reminder apparently didn't get scheduled to remind you to give your monthly heartworm medication to your dogs.

If you forgot, give now - but make note to give in 30 days from now.
My apologies....(making sure next one is scheduled right now!!) - Carol

Agree. If your pet gets overheated DO NOT COOL WITH COLD HOSE. Wet cool towels around the neck and in the groin area and fans are recommended.

Here's how to help cool your dog down on a hot day (like today).

Felv/FIV positive stray east end: If you are letting your cat roam in the east end your kitty is at risk for this. It is not our first FIV positive in this area. There is NO VACCINE TO PREVENT FIV. It is a fatal disease that we do not have any good treatments for although we can often keep them going for some time with good care (frequent dental cleanings, antibiotics for infection and supportive care). So please make sure your pets are spayed and neutered and don't let them roam as this doesn't need to be an issue!! The Felv vaccine is very good at protecting kitties so need should be discussed with your vet. If not going outside it is not routinely done but if you have ground level screen doors or are getting new cats or your cat likes to escape it might be worthwhile. If your pet is in the area and has been going out best to have them tested even if they don't seem sick. These are what we call the kitties AIDS viruses as they work the same - they suppress the immune system and then pet often succumbs to infections or cancers. Cats with Felv can often often live a fairly long life. Cats with FIV usually don't live that long (often pass within months of diagnosis if sick although we have had exceptions).

Recent case has me thinking about how hard it is to keep our fur babies safe. Especially younger dogs that really explore the world with their mouth. Add to all the other things you do to keep them safe.... checking the ground and under tables if you sit with dog on patio for things like food that might have spilled and could cause pancreatitis, cigarette buts if a smoking allowed patio, gum that might be sweetened with xylitol and even gummies or other drug edibles. If you are a person who does imbibe in drugs or even medication that could be toxic to pets please be careful that they are tucked away and unable to spill and that pets in home just can't get access. Thanks and stay safe all..

Heartworm reminder - TUESDAY (tomorrow) you should give your Heartgard or Spectra (unless otherwise directed on label)

It is given every month up to and including November as it treats for the previous month's possible exposure - and those nasty mosquitoes might still be around if we have nice weather in October!

Nexgard for ticks can be given anytime, every 30 days - unless you are also giving Spectra which has the tick meds included in it.
