April is Heartworm Prevention Month. With the latest snow and ice it seems silly to be talking about mosquitos, but we already saw one!!

Heartworms are an easily preventible parasite. Even if we can treat this disease, there are many possible complications and life long consequences of having worms in your heart.

Maine use to be a safe haven from this terrible creature but we are seeing Maine dogs with Heartworms every year.

The life cycle of this parasite allows transmission from dog to dog through mosquitos. All it takes is a heart worm positive dog to inoculate a Maine mosquito, and your dog can get it.

Heartworm prevention pills also treat other intestinal parasites as well. Talk to your veterinarian about even all in 1 pills that get intestinal parasites, heartworms, fleas, and ticks!

Heartworm therapy is typically more expensive than a life time of heartworm prevention so call your vet and discuss options with them this month!

Camila will be heading back to her breeder due to a pretty bad prolapse during her first heat cycle. We want to be safe about Camila's health and the breeder agrees this is the best for Camila.
She will be leaving in a month or so and I just wanted everyone to know what is going.

Understanding Littermate Syndrome in Puppies
Bringing home two puppies from the same litter might seem like a great idea—they’ll have built-in companionship, right? However, many dog owners are unaware of the challenges that come with Littermate Syndrome, a behavioral condition that can develop when sibling puppies are raised together.

What is Littermate Syndrome?
Littermate Syndrome is a set of behavioral issues that arise when two puppies from the same litter (or even unrelated puppies of the same age) are raised together. These issues often stem from excessive bonding between the puppies, making it difficult for them to develop independence and proper social skills.

Signs of Littermate Syndrome:
Severe Separation Anxiety: Puppies become highly distressed when separated, making training and socialization more difficult.
Fearfulness: They may become overly reliant on each other, leading to increased anxiety in new situations or around unfamiliar dogs and people.
Difficulty in Training: Since they focus more on each other than their human, training sessions can become ineffective.
Inter-Puppy Aggression: As they grow, fights between littermates can become more intense, sometimes escalating into serious conflicts.

How to Prevent Littermate Syndrome

If you’re raising two puppies together, consider these steps to ensure they grow into well-adjusted, independent dogs:
Separate Training Sessions: Train each puppy individually to ensure they learn to focus on you rather than each other.
Encourage Independence: Allow them to spend time apart daily so they learn to be comfortable alone.
Socialization: Expose each puppy to different people, dogs, and environments separately.
Individual Bonding: Spend one-on-one time with each puppy to strengthen your personal relationship with them.
While raising two puppies is possible, it requires significant effort and commitment. If you’re considering getting two puppies together, be prepared to implement structured training and socialization strategies to prevent Littermate Syndrome.
By understanding and addressing Littermate Syndrome early, you can help your puppies grow into happy, confident, and independent dogs!

A dog’s wet nose isn’t just cute. Their sniffing sense is one of their superpowers! Your dog’s nose helps them pick up all kinds of scents, turning them into expert detectives of the dog world.
Dogs have roughly 200–300 million smell receptor sites in their nasal cavity, compared to a human’s paltry 6 million receptor sites. The way a dog’s nasal cavity is constructed, along with the wet moisture on the outside, primes their nose to detect even very faint and distant scents.
