🌺🐈 Cat owners, beware of lilies! These plants can cause kidney failure in cats and are less dangerous to dogs but can still cause stomach issues.

👀 All parts of the plant are believed to be toxic if ingested, and prompt veterinary attention is necessary. If you suspect your pet has come into contact with lilies, don't wait for symptoms to appear—contact your vet right away.

👩‍⚕️ Keep your furry friends safe by being informed and taking action when needed.

🔬 Antibiotics are effective at clearing Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, the causative agent of Lyme disease, but may not completely eliminate clinical signs.

Lyme disease-induced organ or joint damage (e.g., arthritis, stiffness) may persist and require additional therapy or care. If Lyme disease progresses undetected or untreated, neurologic signs, including seizures, are common, as well as kidney failure, which is often fatal.

Prevent this debilitating condition by contacting us at 570-206-9988 and asking about year-round tick prevention measures. Your furry friend will thank you! 🦟

Many of the toys, chews, and collars on pet store shelves look perfectly fine until you know what they can do. Our newest post breaks down the most common products that lead to vet visits, including chews that fracture teeth and collars that compress airways.

Some of the most popular toys, chews, and collars on the shelf can genuinely hurt your dog, and these injuries are not rare. A dense chew can crack a tooth in a single bite. A swallowed toy fragment can block the intestines. A collar that snaps tight on the neck can bruise the windpipe. Some

😺 While cats are atypical hosts for heartworms, they can still cause significant health problems.

Heartworm larvae typically don't mature into adulthood in cats, but the cat's immune system responds by creating a strong inflammatory response. This causes lung disease, called heartworm-associated respiratory disease (HARD), which can result in signs including coughing, increased respiratory effort, and vomiting that resemble feline asthma. 🚨

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.

👜🚫 Pet owners, beware of leaving your bags and purses lying around!

🐾 If you typically carry medications or other harmful substances, such as sugar-free gums or hand sanitizers, your furry friends could be in DANGER.

😿 In fact, human medications are some of the top offenders on the ASPCA APCC's pet toxins list. Keep your bags and purses out of reach and secure to prevent accidental exposure to harmful substances!🙏

🐾 Did you know that when your cat kneads your stomach with his paws, he is showing his love for you?

This behavior is reminiscent of his kitten days, when he would knead his mother's ni***es to stimulate milk flow. So, when your kitty kneads you, he's feeling the same sense of comfort and warmth he felt with his mom. Be sure to keep his nails clipped short and keep an extra towel handy if his kneading is uncomfortable for you.

Give your kitty some love today! 🐱❤️
