Behind every pampered pet is an amazing pet mom.

We know being a pet mom is a full time job of love, snuggles, treats, appointments, fur-covered clothes, and endless devotion — so today, don’t forget to spoil yourself a little too.

From our pack to yours, Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Friday! Did you know that May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month? Lyme disease is the most common tickborne illness in the U.S. and is spread by the Blacklegged Deer tick. This is generally the most commonly found tick in PA, making up about 75% of all ticks submitted to our lab! Stay safe and tick-free!

Please share this post to help spread awareness about the severity of tick-borne diseases in our area. Tick-borne illnesses can cause serious, and sometimes life-threatening, complications for dogs if left untreated.

Prevention truly matters. Monthly preventatives, Lyme vaccination, and annual heartworm/tick-borne disease testing are some of the best ways to protect your pets. Early detection can make all the difference.

Protect your dog. Protect your family. 🐾
