When you purchase a puppy from a breeder, and that puppy has intestinal parasites - it's simple. The breeding environment is unsanitary! Either the dogs are not being treated properly/adequately, or the parasite load is so great that it is unsuccessful. It is what it is!

New parasite which is an emerging threat to pets and has been identified in New York:

Review the findings of a study that evaluated 2 cases of Thelazia callipaeda infection in cats to review evidence of this eyeworm making its way to the US.

Negative air temperatures are dangerous. Please keep this in mind and don't try anything silly.

There are several reasons why we did not go back to pre-Covid regarding entry and leaving our clinic.

The main reason is epidemiology: we are seeking to prevent and minimize infectious disease spread by restricting dog to dog contact. The goal is for your dog to never come into contact with another dog while inside the clinic.

Also, from an epidemiology standoint, this also minimizes risk of human to human transmission as well!

We also see some dangerous dogs here. Not bad dogs, but they can be dangerous. It would not be good if one of these dogs was making their way through the front vestibule at the same time that little Fluffy was coming in - it would not go well. This also includes people - some of our client dogs may become very aggressive to other people especially near their owners. Therefore, just walking in to pick up medications without calling is not advised (as demonstrated recently!!!!!!!!!!!)

Please be patient. This system works really well to ensure a mostly private experience for you and your dog while visiting True Care. The dogs very much appreciate this.

TUESDAY, JUNE 18th - the clinic will b open from 2;30 to 5pm. Be careful with your pets in high heat!!!

Dogs are notoriously bad at dissipating body heat. Watch for early signs of heatstroke, also known as hyperthermia, in your dog to avoid serious outcomes.

We have known this for a long time!

For the 12th year, atopic or allergic dermatitis remains the most common health issue for dogs, while gastroenteritis tops the list for felines, according to an insurance-finance company claims report

True Care would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our clients and to our staff. As usual, a tough year but we made it ... although, many did not ...

many pets crossed to the rainbow bridge and, sadly also, a few clients lost their fights and went over as well. Comfort can be taken knowing that these folks are once again in the arms and paws of their loved ones.

All the very best!!!
