Just a heads up for our followers in case you were tagged. We did not make this post and are not selling t shirts at this time. This is a scam page that is using our photos and logos to sell t shirts.

Our doctor will be easing back into the office next week, starting Monday, April 20th. She will be working mostly half days in the afternoons as she will still be caring for her newborn as well. Her schedule may vary as she gets back to work as she is only a few weeks post partum and still recovering. Appointments and certain services will be limited in the beginning based on her physical and mental well being for now. Large animal services will still be limited based on physical ability as well. We appreciate everyone's support and patience during this time as our doctor transitions back to work. 🩷

Please be sure to purchase your products from your veterinarian or online pharmacies that they recommend only. We personally have seen people order heartworm medications from sites not requiring prescriptions and seeing those pets get heartworms because the medicine was fake. We have also had clients order allergy medication that was not properly dosed and ineffective. Your veterinarian wants to help you and your pet. Our clinic has two online stores available through our vendors to prevent these mishaps. We want to make sure the products you receive are guaranteed and are truly what they are advertised as. Buy from reputable sources.

According to a recent report by Veterinary Information Network (VIN), "anti-itch" drugs purchased from allegedly deceptive websites have sent several pets into veterinary clinics with serious health complications.

The website "WagLabs" purported to sell the powerful immunosuppressant cyclosporine, which typically can only be obtained through a veterinarian prescription. One pet owner reported giving the WagLabs medication to his dog; soon after, his pet became lethargic and developed extreme thirst, a ravenous appetite, and increased urination. Upon further inspection, bloodwork showed an alarming elevation of liver enzymes, indicating possible liver damage. Testimonies on the website Trustpilot, a review platform, further allege that several dogs experienced "terrible side effects" after taking the WagLabs capsules, with one going into "major organ failure" and needing to be euthanized.

Due to the extreme side effects, there is reason to doubt that the product was actually—or only—cyclosporine.

VIN News further reports that another website called Millionaire Mutt is suspected to be run by the same entity behind WagLabs. Millionaire Mutt sold "oclacitinib chewable tablets," a product mimicking another strong immunosuppressant that can only be obtained via veterinarian. The websites seem to have reached some buyers by running targeted advertisements on Facebook offering allergy relief for dogs.

The American College of Veterinary Dermatology filed a complaint against WagLabs with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; about a month later, the supposed "cyclosporine" product has been removed from the website. The "oclacitinib chewable tablets" no longer exist on Millionaire Mutt, either.

If you are a pet owner searching for allergy relief for your dog, please do not start your pet on any medications or supplements without consulting your veterinarian first. Do not automatically trust that the products you see online will be safe for your pet to consume, and purchase medications only through verified pharmacies.
