📊 Is your pet's weight in the healthy range? While a number on the scale can be a good indicator, it's important to also consider your pet's body condition. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

😽🐶 You should be able to feel their ribs under a slight fat covering.

😽🐶 Your pet should have a visible waistline when viewed from above.

😽🐶 Your pet should have an abdominal tuck.

😽🐶 If you can see your pet’s ribs and spine, they are too thin.

😽🐶 If your pet has no discernible waistline and their belly sags, they’re too heavy.

Talk to our team to determine if your pet's body condition is healthy.

🐾🦷 Did you know that you can brush your pet's teeth every day?

It's an easy way to maintain their oral health and prevent future dental problems. Look for special pet toothpaste that's flavored like beef, chicken, fish, or peanut butter.

And don't forget about dental diet food to prevent plaque and tartar buildup.

🐾 Did you know that heartworms can grow up to 12 inches or longer inside a dog's heart and lungs?

😢 Several hundred worms can inhabit a single dog, causing inflammation and scarring in the vessels supplying lung tissue. Over time, this can lead to heart failure. Initially, most dogs don't exhibit any symptoms, but as their condition worsens, they may experience coughing, panting, exercise intolerance, weight loss, and fluid accumulation in the abdomen or chest. In severe cases, heartworm blockage can result in sudden death.

Providing year-round heartworm prevention is an important part of your pet’s health care plan. If you would like to discuss the various preventives, contact our team by calling 570-206-9988, so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.
