🌸Spring has sprung and these two flowers are blooming!🌸
Mylee and Daisy came in for their first vet visit with us to start vaccines, be dewormed, and get heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives.

Keeping your pet on year-round preventatives is an essential step in protecting them from getting heartworm disease, Lyme disease, and other illnesses. April is Heartworm Awareness Month and we want to emphasize the importance of prevention! Heartworm is a mosquito-borne parasite that lives in the heart, lungs, and blood vessels of affected animals. Even missing 1 dose of preventative can leave your pet vulnerable to infection.

The American Heartworm Society recommends heartworm testing once a year and using heartworm prevention all year long. We recommend starting to test at 9 months of age to screen for infection since heartworm disease is only detectable 6 months after infection. However, we can get ahead of this by starting prevention early. Thankfully, puppies can be started on heartworm prevention as early as 8 weeks old!

If you haven't seen Mittens in a while, it's probably because he's lying in his "nest".

He is obsessed with it, and we are obsessed with him! 😍

Happy (belated) birthday to Dr. Kuhnle! 🤩🥳🎉

Dr. Kuhnle has been a fantastic addition to our team! Yesterday, he celebrated his birthday by seeing patients!

🦷 🐾✨Even young pets like Gigi need regular oral assessments and treatments. ✨🐾🦷

As surprising as it may be, 85% of dogs and 70% of cats over the age of 3 are affected by dental disease, which can lead to more serious health issues down the line. At a dental cleaning we remove buildup to help prevent dental disease, take oral x-rays to identify issues below the surface, and perform thorough oral exams which help us detect oral cancers early on! You can tell by Gigi's smile that she's happy she came in to see us!

From now through April 10th, 2025 you can get $100 off of your pet's dental cleaning with us! Please give the office a call at (585) 266-8020 for more details and to set up an appointment.

Happy National Pet Dental Health Month! 😄

Dental care is a crucial part of an animal's health. Oral Assessment and Treaments occur under anesthesia for an in-depth (and safe!) dive into an animal's oral health.

Stay tuned for more information!

As pets age, they can develop something called lenticular sclerosis.

Symptoms can include:
-A bluish or grey cloudiness in the pupil (this differs from cataracts)
-A hazy appearance in both eyes
-Affected depth perception and near vision
-Struggle to navigate in the dark

It's like humans needing bifocal glasses 🥸

Brodie looks great!

On the 12th day of Christmas, the animal hospital gave to me... 12 months of prevention!

We recommend keeping your pet(s) on parasite prevention year-round to protect against things like fleas, ticks, heartworms, and other types of worms.

As long as your pet is up-to-date on their necessary wellness items, we can dispense parasite prevention or approve it through sites like Chewy!
