Fleas and ticks are not only gross, they can pose significant health risks. Tapeworm infections and bartonellosis (cat scratch disease) are caused by fleas, while ticks transmit Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, cytauxzoonosis and other infections. The best defense is year-round protection you can trust. Talk to your veterinarian today about flea and tick prevention for your pet.

NAME: Bronco
AGE: 1 year old
GENDER: Male
ID #: 934705
CAMPUS: San Diego
ADOPTION FEE: $110

Meet Bronco, a fun-loving, high-energy boy who is always ready for an adventure! This friendly and playful pup loves to be on the move and will thrive in an active home that can keep up with his enthusiasm. He can get a little excited on walks and tends to pull on the leash, so he'll benefit from some ongoing leash training and positive reinforcement. Because of his high energy and enthusiastic nature, Bronco would do best in a home without young children (under 10) or cats. If you're looking for a lively companion who will bring joy and excitement to your days, visit San Diego Humane Society’s San Diego Campus to adopt Bronco (934705) today! If you have questions about the adoption process, you can visit sdhumane.org/adopt or call 619-299-7012.

"Did you that about 80 million homes in America have an animal family member? And about half of those households have more than one? Say “Hello” to National Pet Month, celebrated in April in the U.K. and in May in the U.S. What a great way to celebrate how important our pets are! They make our social media much more entertaining—just think of all the funny cat videos."

It’s April; that means it’s National Pet Month! United in love for our furry or scaly friends, we celebrate. How, you ask? We’ve got your back.

"International Doodle Day is celebrated May 1 this year. It’s a celebration for all poodle-mix breeds from all around the world. It’s time for fur parents to get their doodles on a day of a fun playdate, dog parade, fur party, or simply just spoil them with treats. Make no mistake — it’s not just for the dogs. Today’s also for the dog parents to have some fun. You can meet fellow doodle owners where you can socialize, make friends, and ask for dog parenting advice. Ultimately, nothing beats seeing your dog having the best time."

It’s International Doodle Dog Day. It's time for pet parents all across the world to celebrate their beloved fur babies!

"Guide dogs provide opportunities for social interaction and greater independence for legally blind adults. International Guide Dog Day pays tribute to the dogs who do this impressive work.

Guide dogs help the visually impaired make their way through the world while offer love and comfort in so many ways.

References to guide dogs date back to at least the 16th century, so for the hundreds of years of service that these faithful companions have provided, we say thank you on April 30 (the last Wednesday in April)."

Guide dogs provide their owners with social interaction and greater independence. Learn more about these impressive animals on International Guide Dog Day.

"National Pet Parents Day on April 27 this year (the last Sunday in April) was acknowledged by Veterinary Pet Insurance as a way to celebrate responsible pet parents and their furry children. We agree, it’s not fair that pet parents don’t get to enjoy Mother’s- and Father’s Days but, don’t fret, there’s a whole other holiday dedicated especially to you! It’s a great day to treat your pet to a new toy, take them for a drive to the dog park, or spend the day giving them a checkup and grooming to make sure they’re healthy and happy."

It’s a great day to treat your pet, or take them for a checkup.

"World Veterinary Day is marked on the last Saturday of April, which is April 26 this year. It is a day to celebrate the noble profession of veterinarians. The day provides recognition for those who have dedicated their lives to helping animals, and it honors the profession’s role in the health and well-being of animals, people, and communities around the globe. Veterinarians are some of the most caring and selfless people in the world. They have the difficult task of taking care of and helping animals recover from injury and illness. Today we also remember all animals — whether pets and food sources, wild and domestic — as companion animals or livestock."

World Veterinary Day celebrates veterinarians, their work, and their impact. We celebrate the contribution of veterinarians to the health of animals, people, and the environment.
