Parasite Prevention

Did you know that many intestinal parasites—like roundworms, hookworms, and giardia—can go unnoticed in your pet until serious health issues arise? Some of these parasites can even spread to people!

That’s why routine f***l exams and year-round parasite prevention are essential. F***l testing helps us catch hidden infections early, and preventatives keep your pet safe from heartworms, fleas, ticks, and more.

Its Feline Leukemia Day. Let’s learn more about this serious and often misunderstood disease affecting our beloved cats. FeLV is a contagious virus that weakens a cat's immune system, making them more susceptible to infections and other illnesses.

What You Need to Know:

Transmission: FeLV spreads through close contact between cats, including grooming, sharing food or water bowls, and bite wounds.

Symptoms: Common signs include lethargy, weight loss, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and recurring infections. Some cats may not show symptoms immediately but can still spread the virus.

Prevention:
Vaccination: Ensure your cat is vaccinated against FeLV, especially if they go outdoors or live in multi-cat households.

Testing: Regularly test your cat for FeLV, particularly if they are exposed to other cats.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our feline companions. Let’s work towards a future where every cat can live a happy, healthy life free from Feline Leukemia.
