Back-to-school season means new schedules, quieter homes, and routines that look a little different. Whether it is a family dog watching the kids get on the bus or a cat whose college student owner just moved out, pets notice these changes.

A little planning goes a long way. Keeping routines consistent, offering enrichment, and easing pets into time alone can help them adjust as the household shifts.

🦟 Heartworms: Tiny Mosquito. BIG Problem. 🐶🐱

Nobody invited heartworms to the party… but mosquitoes apparently didn’t get the memo. 😬

A single mosquito bite can transmit heartworm larvae, which can grow into adult worms that live in your pet’s heart and blood vessels. And the tricky part? You may not know they’re there until serious damage has been done.

The good news: heartworm disease is preventable! 🎉

A simple, regular heartworm preventive can help keep your furry family member safe from these very unwelcome freeloaders.

So let’s make this summer’s guest list short:
❌ Heartworms
❌ Mosquitoes (okay, maybe impossible)
✅ Happy, healthy pets ❤️🐾

If your pet isn’t currently on heartworm prevention—or you’re not sure if they are—give us a call! We’d be happy to help keep the creepy crawlies where they belong: far, far away. 😉

If your dog suddenly refuses their regular food but happily accepts treats, don't assume they're just being picky.

Dental disease, mouth pain, an upset stomach, or other underlying medical conditions can all affect a dog's appetite. Some dogs will continue eating treats because they're softer or more appealing.

If your dog refuses regular meals for more than a day, develops vomiting or diarrhea, becomes lethargic, or stops eating altogether, they should be examined by a veterinarian. If you're concerned about your dog's appetite, call us at (413) 253-7797 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Russo.

So today, give your favorite black kitty an extra treat, an extra cuddle, and a whole lot of love! 🖤🐾

❤️ Heartworm Prevention: Keep Your Pet Protected All Year Long! 🐶🐱

Did you know that heartworm disease can be serious—and even life-threatening—for dogs and cats? The good news is that it’s highly preventable with consistent, year-round heartworm prevention.

🦟 Why year-round protection matters:
Heartworm disease is spread by mosquitoes, and even a single bite from an infected mosquito can transmit heartworm larvae. While mosquitoes may be more active during warmer months, unpredictable weather and indoor environments mean your pet can still be exposed outside of the traditional “mosquito season.”

💊 One missed dose can leave a gap in protection. Giving your pet their heartworm prevention on schedule every month (or as prescribed) helps maintain continuous protection and reduces the risk of infection.

🐾 Regular testing is important, too. Your veterinarian may recommend routine heartworm testing to make sure your pet remains healthy and protected.

The best protection is prevention—every month, all year long! ❤️

If you’re unsure whether your pet is current on their heartworm prevention or testing, give our veterinary team a call. We’re happy to help keep your furry family members protected!

The good news? It’s 100% preventable!

Protect your pet year-round with monthly prevention and regular testing. Let’s keep their hearts healthy for a long, happy life together. 🐾
