as sarolaner in Simparica Trio® and afoxolaner in NexGard®.1 Fast† protection for
your dog, and peace of mind for you. Schedule your next vet visit with us to learn
more about this new parasite protection.

🐍 Rattlesnake Awareness Month 🐍

As the weather warms up, rattlesnakes become more active — and curious pets can be at risk.

Help keep your pets safe by:
✅ Keeping dogs on a leash during walks and hikes
✅ Staying on marked trails
✅ Avoiding tall grass, rocks, and brush piles
✅ Checking your yard before letting pets outside
✅ Calling a veterinarian immediately if your pet is bitten

Signs of a rattlesnake bite may include sudden swelling, pain, bleeding, weakness, drooling, or collapse. Do not try to treat the bite at home. Fast veterinary care is important.
