🐾 Don't Let Ticks Crash Your Fall Adventures! 🍂

Hey Everett & Lake Stevens pet parents! As we soak up the gorgeous (and damp) PNW fall, it’s easy to think tick season is behind us. But these stubborn pests remain active right through autumn in our grassy parks, wooded trails, and even our own backyards!

Protecting your pet is a year-round commitment here in the Pacific Northwest. Here’s our simple 3-step strategy to keep your furry friends safe all season long:

1️⃣ PREVENT: Consistency is Key!
Don’t let your guard down just because summer is over. Monthly topical treatments, chewables, or collars prescribed by your vet are your first line of defense. These products don’t just kill ticks on contact—they often prevent them from latching on in the first place. Fun fact: Many of these products also protect against fleas and mites, making them a smart, multi-purpose investment!

2️⃣ INSPECT: Make “Tick Checks” a Ritual!
After every walk, hike, or even a romp in the yard, give your pet a thorough once-over. Ticks love to hide in warm, hidden spots. Be sure to check:

In and around the ears

Under the collar

Armpits and between back legs

Between the toes and around the paw pads
Pro tip: Run your fingers through their coat feeling for small bumps. A fine-tooth comb can also help catch hitchhikers early!

3️⃣ CONNECT: Keep Us In The Loop!
Found a tick? Don’t panic! Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp it as close to the skin as possible and pull straight out with steady pressure. Save the tick in a sealed bag or take a photo for identification, and let us know at your next appointment. If you’re unsure or your pet seems lethargic, loses appetite, or has joint stiffness, call us right away. Early detection of tick-borne illness is crucial!

Stay proactive, stay protected, and let’s make this autumn the best one yet! 🍁

🐾💚 When was your pet’s last health check? 💚🐾

Our furry friends can’t always tell us when something feels wrong. Regular health checks help us:
✅ Detect hidden problems early (before they become serious)
✅ Keep vaccinations up to date
✅ Monitor weight, teeth, skin, and joints
✅ Give your pet the happiest, healthiest life possible!

Just like us, pets need a doctor’s visit at least once a year 🩺. A simple check-up today could add years of love and cuddles tomorrow. 🐶🐱

📅 Book your pet’s health check with us now – because prevention is always better than cure! 💕

🚨 Warning for Cat Lovers!
Look at those big curious eyes! 😻 But did you know some of the foods we eat every day can be deadly for your feline friend? Keep your kitty safe by avoiding these 5 toxic treats ⛔

📌 Top 5 Toxic Foods for Cats:

Onions & Garlic – Can cause damage to red blood cells (even in powdered form).

Chocolate – Contains theobromine and caffeine, which are toxic to cats.

Grapes & Raisins – Even small amounts can lead to kidney failure.

Alcohol – Just a little can cause dangerous drops in blood sugar, body temperature, or even coma.

Raw Dough or Yeast – Can expand in the stomach and produce toxic alcohol.

🩺 If your cat eats any of these, contact your VET immediately. Early intervention can save lives!

💬 Drop a 🐾 if your cat is the curious type!
