April is Heartworm Prevention Month ❤️🐾

Heartworm disease is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito—and both dogs and cats are at risk. Here in Ohio, our unpredictable weather means mosquitoes can be active year-round. In fact, cases in our area remain consistently high.

Even indoor pets aren’t completely safe. Mosquitoes can easily enter through open windows or doors, putting your pets at risk without you even realizing it.

While treatment for dogs is available, it can be expensive and difficult. Unfortunately, there is currently no approved treatment for heartworm disease in cats.

That’s why prevention is key. Heartworm disease is far easier—and far less costly—to prevent than to treat. Talk to your veterinarian about keeping your pets protected all year long.

Protect their hearts—because they rely on you. 🐶🐱

Drum roll, please! The AHS has released their new heartworm incidence map and survey. The bad news? Heartworm disease is being diagnosed nationwide. The good news? Heartworm disease is PREVENTABLE. https://bit.ly/4c8QNj2

🦷✨ Before & After: Dental Day for a Gentle Giant! ✨🦷

This is the mouth of 6½-year-old Great Dane that came in for his first dental cleaning. While he was still eating normally at home, his family noticed he had very bad breath—one of the most common early signs of dental disease in dogs.

During his professional cleaning, one tooth was so compromised that it fell out during the procedure. Interestingly enough, the same tooth had to be pulled on his other side. The good news? Removing painful, unhealthy teeth and thoroughly cleaning the rest helps relieve discomfort, reduce infection, and get pets feeling better than ever.

💡 Did you know?
• Pets can have significant dental pain even if they continue to eat normally.
• Bad breath is often a sign of infection—not just “dog breath.”
• Regular dental exams and cleanings can prevent tooth loss, pain, and more serious health issues affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys.

This sweet giant did amazing and is now on the road to a healthier mouth and fresher kisses! 💙

If your pet has bad breath, drooling, tartar buildup, or hasn’t had a dental check recently, give us a call—we’re happy to help keep those tails wagging and smiles bright. 🐾

🦷 Does Your Pet Need a Dental Cleaning? 🐾

Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in dogs and cats—and it often goes unnoticed. Here are a few signs your furry friend may be due for a professional dental cleaning:

• Bad breath that doesn’t go away
• Yellow or brown buildup on teeth
• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
• Drooling more than usual
• Difficulty eating or dropping food
• Pawing at the mouth or face
• Changes in behavior or energy

Keeping your pet’s teeth clean isn’t just about fresh breath—it helps protect their heart, liver, and kidneys too! 💙

If you’re noticing any of these signs, give us a call to schedule a dental exam. We’re here to help keep those tails wagging and smiles shining! 🐶🐱

Possible incoming snow day? We shall see!

As many of you know, there’s a possible major snow storm due to hit this weekend. How bad it is going to hit our area is still questionable. If it is deemed unsafe for staff and clients, we will close Monday. If it is safe, we will remain open. That being said, we encourage you to call today if there are any concerns with your pet and please also call today if you need a prescription refilled prior to the weekend.

If you’ve been in lately, you’ve probably seen our foster cat, Lima. Lima is in search of his forever home. He’s a nine month old neutered male and is up to date on all his vaccines. He is very sweet and cuddly. He also has a lot to say and would be excited to hold a conversation 😂. Swing by to meet him if you haven’t.

Lima is available for adoption through Animal Haven.
