🦟 Heartworm Risk Isn’t Going Away

We compared heartworm incidence maps from 2016 and 2025, and they serve as an important reminder: heartworm disease continues to be a concern for pets across the country.

While the level of risk can vary by location and from year to year, heartworm remains a preventable disease that pet owners should take seriously.

The best protection? Consistent, year-round heartworm prevention. 🐶🐱❤️

Talk with our team about the right prevention plan for your pet.

Ear Mites Under the Microscope 🔬🐾

👂 THERE’S MORE TO AN EAR INFECTION THAN MEETS THE EYE!

Not all ear infections are the same. That’s why we check ear cytology. 🔬🐾

A quick sample from your pet’s ear can help us:

🦠 Identify yeast & bacteria
🔥 See inflammation
💊 Choose the right treatment
🔎 Monitor how the infection is responding

Why does that matter? Because cytology gives us information we simply can’t get by looking in the ear alone.

That little sample can tell us a LOT about what’s really going on and helps us treat your pet’s ears appropriately.

Take a look at the difference after cleaning and medicating! 👀🐾
