When temperatures rise, pavement temperatures rise even faster.

Even on a day that feels manageable to us, asphalt and concrete can become hot enough to burn your pet's paw pads in a matter of seconds.

Before heading out for a walk, place the back of your hand on the pavement for 7 seconds. If it's uncomfortable for you, it's too hot for your pet.

A few simple ways to protect your pet this summer:

✔ Walk early in the morning or later in the evening
✔ Stick to grassy areas when possible
✔ Bring water on longer walks
✔ Watch for limping, licking paws, or signs of discomfort

Summer adventures are more fun when everyone stays safe.

Summer is peak allergy season for many pets.

If you've noticed your dog constantly licking their paws, scratching their ears, rubbing their face, or developing red, irritated skin, allergies could be the reason.

Allergies often show up differently in pets than they do in people. Instead of sneezing and watery eyes, many pets experience skin irritation, recurring ear infections, excessive licking, or chronic itching.

Unfortunately, these symptoms rarely improve on their own and can lead to secondary infections if left untreated.

The good news is that there are many treatment options available. If your pet seems uncomfortable, schedule an appointment so we can help determine what's causing the problem and create a plan that provides relief.

Fireworks anxiety is one of the most common concerns we hear this time of year, and the best thing you can do for your pet is plan ahead.

Many pets become anxious long before the Fourth of July arrives. Community events, neighborhood celebrations, and test fireworks often start weeks in advance. What may sound like a brief noise to us can be overwhelming for a pet.

If your dog or cat has struggled with fireworks in the past, now is the time to start the conversation. Some pets benefit from medication, while others may need environmental changes, calming strategies, or a combination of approaches.

It's also important to remember that if it has been a while since your pet's last visit, an exam may be needed before medication can be prescribed. Don't wait until the week of the holiday. Give us a call now and let's create a plan to help your pet feel safe and comfortable this fireworks season.

Flea and tick prevention is not one-size-fits-all and most pet owners don’t realize how many options there actually are.

Some pets do great with a monthly chew. Others need something longer lasting. Some don’t take pills at all. And for some families, convenience is everything.

Here’s what that can look like:
– A 12-month injectable option like Bravecto Quantum for dogs
– 3-month chewables like Bravecto
– Topicals for cats like Bravecto Plus or Revolt
– Collars like Seresto that last up to 9 months
– Monthly preventatives that also cover heartworms and other parasites

All of them work. The “best” one is the one that fits your pet and your routine so you actually stay consistent.

Because consistency is what keeps your pet protected and your home flea-free.

If you’re not sure what your pet should be on or if it’s time to switch, ask us at your next visit. We’ll help you find the option that works best for both of you.

If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws.

Pavement heats up fast, especially during Louisiana summers, and those temperatures can burn your dog’s paw pads in just minutes.

A few things to keep in mind:
– Pavement can be much hotter than the air temperature
– Paw pad burns can happen quickly and are painful
– Aim for walks early in the morning or later in the evening
– Watch for signs like limping, licking paws, or hesitation to walk

If you wouldn’t walk barefoot on it, they shouldn’t have to either.

When in doubt, test the pavement with your hand or stick to grass and shaded areas to keep your pet safe.

Not every pet takes medication easily. And honestly, that’s okay.

We see it all the time. Pets who won’t take pills, spit them out, or make it a whole event every month. The good news is, you have options.

There are injectable preventatives like ProHeart for heartworms, and long-lasting flea and tick options like Bravecto that can be given less frequently or paired together for full coverage.

Some pets do best with monthly routines. Others benefit from longer-term solutions that take the pressure off remembering every dose.

The goal is not just to prescribe something. It’s to find a plan that actually works for your pet and your day-to-day life so you can stay consistent.

If giving medication has been a struggle, talk to us. We’ll help you find a better option.

Heartworm prevention is one of those things that feels easy to put off… until you understand what treatment actually looks like.

Heartworm disease is completely preventable, but once a pet is infected, treatment becomes expensive, time-consuming, and honestly, hard on your dog. We’re talking months of restricted activity, multiple visits, and a process that can impact their overall quality of life.

And even after treatment, there can be lasting damage to the heart and lungs.

That’s why we strongly believe every pet should be on heartworm prevention year-round, especially here in Louisiana where mosquitoes are a constant.

The good news is, prevention is simple and there are options to fit your pet:
– Monthly combination preventatives like Simparica Trio
– Injectable options like ProHeart for pets who don’t take pills well
– Plans that can be paired with flea and tick prevention for full coverage

If you’re not sure what your pet is currently on or if it’s the best option, this is a great time to ask. Prevention is always easier than treatment, and we want to keep your pet healthy, active, and feeling their best.

Talk to us at your next visit or give us a call to get your pet set up.
