We put together a simple guide for Hairball Awareness Day to help you spot the signs and support your cat at home. 💛

Checking your dog for ticks is smart.
Preventing them is even better. 👀🐾

A quick tick check after outdoor time is always a good habit — but it’s not a substitute for prevention.

Lyme disease prevention starts before the tick bite happens, which is why monthly flea/tick preventatives are such an important part of your dog’s routine.

If your dog is due, we can help you get them protected. 💛

Happy National Pet Day! 🐾💛
Today is all about celebrating the pets who make us laugh, love harder, and smile every single day.

We want to know…

What’s your pet’s funniest or weirdest talent?

Does your dog “sing”?
Does your cat open cabinets?
Does your pet insist on supervising everything you do? 😄

Drop it in the comments — bonus points for photos! 📸

National Pet Day is the perfect reminder to celebrate the joy our pets bring into our lives every day.

No tricks here—just real protection for your pet. 🐾💛

April Fools’ Day may be full of jokes… but heartworms are something we take seriously.

Spread by mosquitoes, heartworm disease can affect both dogs and cats—and the scary part is, it often goes unnoticed until it’s advanced. The good news? Prevention is simple, safe, and effective.

This Heartworm Awareness Month, take a moment to make sure your pet is protected.
Give us a call or text to order Heartgard—it’s one small step that makes a big difference.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Ben! 🎂🐾🐄

Thank you for the care you give every day — whether it’s helping pets in the clinic or working with cattle out in the field. Our team and community are grateful for your dedication to animals big and small.

Fun clinic trivia: Dr. Ben won’t eat eggs by themselves unless they’re part of a recipe… but milk chocolate eggs? Those are definitely approved! 🍫🥚😄

We hope your birthday is filled with good food, plenty of laughs, and maybe a few chocolate eggs too. Happy Birthday from all of us! 🎉

Spaying is one of the most important preventive care decisions you can make for your female dog or cat. When done at the right time, it helps prevent serious health issues like pyometra and certain cancers, while supporting a longer, healthier life.

In our clinic, we typically recommend spaying at 5–6 months of age, and we’re always happy to talk through what’s best for your pet.

👉 Read our full blog to learn why spaying matters and what to expect:

Preventive care today means more healthy tomorrows. 🐾💚

World Spay Day highlights the importance of spaying female dogs and cats as a key part of preventive veterinary care. Spaying at the appropriate age helps protect pets from serious reproductive diseases, supports long-term health, and gives them the best chance at a comfortable, healthy life.
