🎆 **Keep Your Pets Safe This 4th of July!** 🐾

While fireworks are fun for people, they can be frightening and even dangerous for our furry friends. Help keep your pets safe by:

✅ Keeping pets indoors during fireworks displays
✅ Making sure collars and ID tags are up to date
✅ Providing a quiet, comfortable space where they feel secure
✅ Exercising pets earlier in the day to help reduce stress
✅ Keeping party foods, alcohol, and fireworks out of reach

If your pet struggles with noise anxiety, talk to one of our veterinarians before the holiday for advice and possible treatment options.

Have a safe and happy Independence Day! ❤️🤍💙🐶🐱

☀️🐾 **Keeping Pets Happy & Safe This Summer** 🐾☀️

As temperatures rise, it's important to remember that our pets can be affected by the heat just like we can!

Here are a few simple ways to keep your furry family members safe:
💧 Always provide plenty of fresh, cool water.
🌳 Make sure they have access to shade when outdoors.
🚶 Walk dogs during the cooler morning or evening hours.
🔥 Avoid hot pavement—it can burn sensitive paw pads.
🚗 Never leave pets unattended in a vehicle, even for a few minutes.
😎 Watch for signs of heat exhaustion, including excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, or collapse.

If you suspect your pet is suffering from heatstroke, seek veterinary care immediately. Early treatment can save lives.

Let's help our pets enjoy a safe, fun, and healthy summer! ❤️🐶🐱

June is Fly & Mosquito Awareness Month!

As the weather warms up, flies and mosquitoes become more active — and they’re more than just a nuisance. These pests can spread diseases and cause serious discomfort for your pets.

Friendly reminder:
• Use year-round parasite preventatives recommended by your veterinarian (many heartworm preventatives also protect against mosquitoes and other pests).
• Ask us about pet-safe repellents to help keep flies and mosquitoes away, especially for pets who spend a lot of time outdoors.
• Reduce standing water and keep outdoor areas clean to cut down on breeding sites.

Protecting your pet now helps prevent itching, infections, and mosquito-borne illnesses all season long.

Talk to our team this month about the best prevention plan for your pet.

Protect Your Pet This Summer: A Message from Your Vet
Summer is finally here! While you are planning barbecues and hikes, local pests are planning their next meal. Warm weather brings a massive spike in fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and worms.
Don't let parasites ruin your summer fun. Keep your furry family members safe with these four simple steps:
🔬 1. Get Tested
Heartworms are transmitted by a single mosquito bite and can be fatal. Schedule your dog's annual blood test before starting summer preventatives to ensure they are safe and healthy.
🛡️ 2. Protect Monthly
Over-the-counter collars and shampoos rarely provide full coverage. Talk to us about prescription-strength, all-in-one preventatives that guard against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites.
🌳 3. Defend Your Yard
Parasites love tall grass and stagnant moisture. Keep your lawn mowed close, clear out damp leaf piles, and empty standing water to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds.
🔍 4. Check After Walks
Make "tick checks" a daily routine. Run your hands over your pet after every outdoor adventure, paying close attention to hidden spots like between toes, inside ears, and under the collar.
We are here to help you enjoy a pest-free summer!
