Recent rains in Maricopa County have brought more than just cooler temperatures. They've also led to a surge in mosquitoes, making this the perfect time to talk about one of the most serious threats to your pet's health: Heartworm Disease. 🦟 🦟 🦟

Heartworms are transmitted through mosquito bites, and it only takes one bite from an infected mosquito for your pet to get heartworms. Heartworm prevention is one of the easiest parts of your pet's wellness plan, often involving a chewable tablet given once a month.

If you have missed a dose or are behind on your pet's annual exam and heartworm test, please call McGee Veterinary Service at 623-396-9185! We can come to your home to perform the necessary blood draw for heartworm testing and send the sample to a lab for quick, accurate results. Protect your pet today! 🐾

As a mobile in-home veterinary service, we understand that making end-of-life decisions for a pet is one of the hardest experiences a family can face. If you live in Maricopa County and are considering a home pet burial, it is essential to understand the local regulations and the unique challenges posed by our desert environment.

LEGAL LANDSCAPE: In most of Arizona, it is against the law to bury your pet in your backyard. However, it is vital that you check the municipal code for your specific city. If you live in a planned community, your Homeowners Association (HOA) may have additional bylaws that specifically prohibit any type of burial on your property, regardless of city code.

PHYSICAL CHALLENGE: If your location allows home burial, the unique geology of the Sonoran Desert can turn digging a grave into an extremely difficult project. Our soil presents two major obstacles: caliche & rocky, compacted earth. Caliche is a layer of calcium carbonate that is like concrete. Attempting to hand-dig a grave in this soil is physically exhausting and often painful, adding an unnecessary layer of stress to a time of mourning.

ALTERNATIVES TO HOME BURIAL: Given the legal complexities and the physical challenges of our desert soil, many pet owners choose alternative forms of aftercare. We frequently recommend and work with local partners to provide individual, private, and group cremation. At McGee Veterinary Service, a terracotta clay paw print is included at no extra charge with each cremation option.

As residents of the Greater Phoenix Area, we share our beautiful desert environment with a unique challenge: Valley Fever. Valley Fever is a fungal infection caused by spores found in the Arizona soil.

The clinical signs of Valley Fever can be vague, which is why chronic, unresolving symptoms warrant diagnostic testing. Since the disease affects dogs more frequently and differently than cats, it’s helpful to know the signs for both.

Since McGee Veterinary Service provides comprehensive in-home care, we can perform the initial testing right in the comfort of your home. Treatment is a long-term commitment, but the prognosis for pets with lung-limited disease is generally good when treated early.

If your dog or cat is showing any of the common symptoms – a cough that won't go away, unexplained limping, or persistent lethargy – please don't wait. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical for the best outcome. Call or text us at 623-396-9185 to schedule your in-home appointment today.
