The New Coco Flow: Yo, Coco couldn’t breathe, the struggle was real, Chokin’ on his palate yeah, that was the deal.

His nose was blocked, no air could flow,
No play, no joy, just movin’ too slow.

Our laser came through, precision & light,
No pain, no mess, now he’s breathin’ right.

From blockage to freedom, it’s a brand-new day,
We opened that airway, laser paved the way!

Now he’s struttin’ outside, tail high with pride,
Fresh air, blue sky, that happy stride,
Laser love, new life — let’s ride ❤️ 🐾

Roundup® is not particularly dangerous, but undiluted product should be kept away from pets. If you notice any symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately.

👀 Use w**d killers responsibly to keep your pets safe and healthy!👌

🐾 Did you know that heartworms can grow up to 12 inches or longer inside a dog's heart and lungs?

😢 Several hundred worms can inhabit a single dog, causing inflammation and scarring in the vessels supplying lung tissue. Over time, this can lead to heart failure. Initially, most dogs don't exhibit any symptoms, but as their condition worsens, they may experience coughing, panting, exercise intolerance, weight loss, and fluid accumulation in the abdomen or chest. In severe cases, heartworm blockage can result in sudden death.

Providing year-round heartworm prevention is an important part of your pet’s health care plan. If you would like to discuss the various preventives, contact our team by calling (561) 264-5162, so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.

🍇🚫 STOP! Grapes and raisins are NOT pet-friendly snacks!

Lyme disease can be difficult to diagnose in pets, as their signs are often vague and nonspecific. Unlike humans, pets do not develop the classic bullseye rash associated with the disease.

We advise Lyme disease testing (i.e., a blood test) for pets with clinical signs that include fever, lethargy, appetite loss, swollen lymph nodes, intermittent lameness, and painful or swollen joints.

Don't wait until it's too late! Protect your furry friend from this debilitating condition by contacting us at (561) 264-5162 and asking about annual tick-borne disease testing. ❤️
