It's that time of year! This picture may cause concern and if you see this on your pet you also may be concerned. However, this picture actually is showing non-harmful black fly bites. Your dog may get these from laying in the grass or just from being outside and this usually occurs around the months of May and June. As long as the spots are flat and not itchy then there is no reason for concern and we will advise you to monitor your dog as these usually go away on their own. If you are ever not sure though feel free to call or send us an email with pictures of the spots.

Checklist for your cats next vet visit 🐱

✔️Travel using a safe carrier: ideally bring your cat in a hard-sided carrier with both front and top openings. This allows for vet staff to get your kitty in and out of their carrier comfortably and safely.

✔️Bring your cats favorite blanket, treat or toy: having something from home can make your cat feel more comfortable in a new environment, and if they're food motivated high value treats can be a great distraction!

✔️Ask us about calming supplements or medications: many cats can become stressed at the vet or in the process of traveling. Many could benefit from some sort of calming aid. Don't hesitate to ask us about what might be best for your kitty!

✔️Tell us about it: if you know your cat has been fractious in the past, please let us know! Our staff always does their best to make sure every patient has a positive visit. However, there are extra precautions that we may need to take if your cat has a history of becoming stressed, fearful, or aggressive at their visits.

These tips can help your cat have a more successful and less stressful vet visit! 🐈🐾

Anyone have an Irish breed worth celebrating today?

This St. Patrick’s Day, we’re celebrating Ireland’s canine heritage and the professionals who help protect it.

From the towering Irish Wolfhound to the flame-coated Irish Setter and the ever-versatile Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, many of Ireland’s most recognizable breeds were originally working dogs on farms and in the field.

Generations depended on their strength, stamina, and intelligence. Today, veterinarians help ensure these historic breeds continue to thrive.
