Our pets’ wellness is always top of mind, but this month is a great reminder to ensure you’re doing everything you can to keep your pet safe from fleas and ticks. We are now offering Bravecto Quantum, an injectable flea/tick preventative for dogs, that last the whole year.

Help them stay safe and happy

Poor Eastern Box Turtle. She somehow lost her back leg in an accident and needed surgery. To assist in her recovery, she also needed a feeding tube to ensure she gets the proper nutrition to heal. Thanks to the wildlife rehabers for bringing her in and tending to her recovery.

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month.
Pain is often a clinical sign of many illnesses and injuries, but what exactly does it mean? To put it in basic terms, pain is an unpleasant, sensory experience representing an animal’s awareness of damage--or threat of damage--to its tissues.

Like people, there are many painful conditions pets can experience. However, they can’t tell us where it hurts or how they feel. Fortunately, over the past 20 years, there has been a greater awareness of the impact pain has on healing and the quality of life in our companion animals.
