🌼Get Ready for Spring: Protect Your Pets from Fleas, Ticks, Flies & Mosquitos!🌼

Spring is just around the corner, and while we love the warmer weather, it also means the return of pesky pests! At Tumalo Animal Hospital, we want to help you keep your furry friends comfortable and itch-free this season. Here are some tips to prepare for the inevitable invasion of fleas, ticks, flies, and mosquitos:

1. Preventative Medications: Talk to us about the best flea and tick prevention options for your pet. Regular treatments can keep these pests at bay!

2. Regular Grooming: Brush your pets regularly to help spot any unwanted visitors early. A clean coat is less inviting to pests!

3. Yard Maintenance: Keep your yard tidy by mowing the lawn, trimming bushes, and removing any standing water to reduce mosquito breeding grounds.

4. Limit Outdoor Time: During peak pest hours, try to keep your pets indoors or supervise their outdoor playtime to minimize exposure.

5. Check for Pests: After outdoor adventures, check your pets for ticks and other pests. Early detection is key!

Let’s work together to ensure your pets enjoy a comfortable and pest-free spring! If you have any questions or need recommendations for preventative care, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

🐕🌷 Here’s to a happy, healthy spring for all our furry friends!

Are you planning to cross state lines with your animal? You may need to have certification.

We offer a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection for safe travel!

The health certificate must be signed by an accredited veterinarian after examining your pet and determining that it is free of infectious diseases and satisfies all import requirements of the receiving state, territory, or country. You will need a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection to travel and some airlines require an acclimation certificate. Both of these certificates can only be completed and signed by a federally accredited veterinarian.

Visit us at Tumalo Animal Hospital and we’ll get you ready to roll.

Polly wanna cracker???

At Tumalo Animal Hospital, we believe that every feathered friend deserves the best care possible! Parrots and exotic birds are not just beautiful companions; they are intelligent, social, and full of personality. Whether you have a chatty parakeet, a colorful macaw, or a charming cockatiel, providing them with the right care is essential for their health and happiness.

Here are some tips for keeping your avian companions thriving:

1. Balanced Diet: Just like us, birds need a varied diet to stay healthy. A mix of high-quality pellets, fresh fruits, and vegetables will keep your feathered friend happy and vibrant. Remember to avoid toxic foods like avocado and chocolate!

2. Regular Check-ups: Routine veterinary visits are crucial for early detection of health issues. Our experienced team at Tumalo Animal Hospital is here to provide comprehensive care tailored to the unique needs of your exotic bird.

3. Mental Stimulation: Parrots are incredibly intelligent and require mental engagement to prevent boredom. Provide toys, puzzles, and opportunities for social interaction to keep their minds sharp and spirits high.

4. Safe Environment: Create a safe and enriching environment for your bird. Ensure their cage is spacious, secure, and filled with perches, toys, and places to explore. Supervised out-of-cage time is also essential for their physical and mental well-being.

5. Grooming and Socialization: Regular grooming, including nail trimming and feather care, is important. Additionally, spend quality time with your bird to strengthen your bond and help them feel secure and loved.

At Tumalo Animal Hospital, we are passionate about providing exceptional care for all our avian patients. If you have questions about your parrot or exotic bird, or if you’re looking for a trusted veterinary partner, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Let’s work together to ensure your feathered friends live long, happy, and healthy lives!

🐾❤️ The special relationship between humans and cats is truly fascinating! Did you know that cats have been our companions for over 9,000 years? They were first domesticated in the Near East to help control rodent populations in agricultural communities.

Cats purr not only when they’re content but also when they’re healing or in pain, promoting healing and reducing stress. While they may seem independent, they form strong attachments to their humans, often following us around and seeking our company. Throughout history, cats have been revered in various cultures, especially in ancient Egypt, where they were considered sacred.

With over 70 recognized breeds, there’s a perfect feline friend for everyone. Our bond with cats is built on mutual respect and love, enriching our lives in countless ways. Share a photo of your furry friend and tell us what makes your relationship special! 🐱💕

🐾 Is Your Pet Suffering from Allergies? Don’t Ignore These Signs!🐾

At Tumalo Animal Hospital, we understand how much you love your furry friends, and we want to help keep them happy and healthy! Allergies can be a common issue for pets, and recognizing the signs early can make all the difference in their comfort and well-being. Here are some key symptoms to watch for:

1. Excessive Licking and Scratching: If you notice your pet licking or scratching more than usual, it could be a sign of allergies. This behavior can lead to skin irritation and infections if not addressed.

2. Noticeable Hair Loss: Allergies can cause your pet to lose patches of fur. If you see bald spots or thinning areas, it’s time to take action.

3. Redness, Bumps, and Scabs: Look for any unusual redness, bumps, or scabs on your pet’s skin. These can be indicators of allergic reactions that need veterinary attention.

4. Unpleasant Odor: A foul smell coming from your pet’s skin or ears can signal an underlying issue, often related to allergies or infections.

If you notice any of these signs, don’t hesitate to reach out! Our team at Tumalo Animal Hospital is here to evaluate your pet’s health and provide the care they need. Early intervention can help alleviate discomfort and prevent more serious health issues down the line.
