🐾💙 Happy Veterinary Appreciation Day! 💙🐾

Today, we want to recognize and thank every member of our veterinary team.

Behind every appointment, surgery, comforting phone call, and wagging tail is a group of compassionate people who have dedicated their lives to caring for animals. Our veterinarians, technicians, assistants, client care representatives, and support staff work tirelessly to provide comfort, healing, and kindness to both pets and the people who love them.

Veterinary medicine is more than a profession. It is a calling that requires skill, patience, empathy, and heart. We are grateful every day for the individuals who show up, give their all, and make a difference in the lives of our patients and their families.

To our team, thank you for your dedication, your compassion, and the care you provide when it matters most. Your work touches more lives than you may ever know. ❤️

🐾❤️ Heartworm Testing Clinic – Protect Your Best Friend! ❤️🐾

Mosquitoes aren't just annoying—they can be dangerous. 🦟
Did you know that Heartworm disease is spread through mosquito bites and can be life-threatening for dogs? This disease often shows no signs until significant damage has already occurred‼️

Our Heartworm Testing Clinic is here to help keep your furry family members healthy and protected! A simple blood test can help detect heartworm disease early and ensure your pet is ready for another season of adventures.

✅ Quick and easy testing
✅ Peace of mind for pet parents
✅ Discuss heartworm prevention options with our team

Not only does this test check for Heartworm disease, but it also tests for the 3 most severe tick-borne diseases as well: Lyme Disease, Anaplasmosis and Ehrlichiosis. 🪳
So far this year we have had patients test positive for all 4 diseases and have had 4 patients go through Heartworm Treatment this year alone!

📅 Date: June 17th - 19th
📍 Location: Merritt Animal Hospital
📞 Phone: 519-360-4508
Call us today to book your appointment!

Book your heartworm test today and stay one step ahead this season! 🐶❤️
Because prevention is always easier than treatment. Let's keep those tails wagging all year long! 🐕🐾

As temperatures rise, animals can become overheated much faster than we realize. Heat stress and heatstroke are medical emergencies but they are often preventable.

🐶 Signs of heat distress in pets:
• Excessive panting or difficulty breathing
• Drooling more than normal
• Weakness, wobbliness, or collapse
• Bright red or pale gums
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Restlessness or confusion

⚠️ Things to avoid:
• Never leave pets in parked vehicles, even for a few minutes
• Avoid intense exercise during the hottest parts of the day
• Don’t rely on shade alone on very hot days
• Avoid hot pavement (if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for paws)
• Don’t restrict access to fresh, cool water

💧 How to help keep pets safe:
• Provide constant access to clean water
• Walk early morning or late evening
• Use cooling mats, fans, or shaded areas
• Keep outdoor time short during heatwaves
If you suspect heatstroke, move your pet to a cool area immediately and contact a veterinarian right away, this is an emergency.

Stay cool, stay safe, and look out for the animals who depend on us to beat the heat. 🐾
