⛈️Fireworks, thunderstorms, and other loud summer noises can be stressful for pets. If your dog or cat becomes anxious during these events, now is the time to start planning!

Depending on your pet's needs, we may be able to recommend medications, supplements, or other strategies to help reduce stress during the holiday festivities.

⚠️ Please don't wait until the last minute! Medication requests often require an exam and approval by a veterinarian, and prescription refill requests may take time to process.

🌼🐾 Managing Seasonal Allergies in Pets 🐾🌼

Just like people, pets can struggle with seasonal allergies too! If your dog or cat is itching, licking their paws, shaking their head, or developing irritated skin, allergies may be to blame.

Here are a few ways we can help manage seasonal allergies:
✔️ Allergy medications to reduce itching and inflammation
✔️ Medicated shampoos to soothe irritated skin and remove allergens
✔️ Environmental changes like wiping paws after being outside, washing bedding regularly, and limiting exposure during high pollen days

Every pet is different, and finding the right combination of treatment can make a huge difference in their comfort and quality of life. If you think your pet may be suffering from allergies, give us a call — we’re here to help keep them happy, healthy, and itch-free! 🐶🐱💙

On today's episode of "Why is My Cat SO Itchy!?" 😵‍💫

These cute little creeps are EAR MITES! 🤢

Ear mites are highly contagious between pets, so if one furry friend has them, others may be at risk too! They are more common in cats, but not unheard of in dogs.

The good news- Revolution Plus will clear up this infection, and prevent any further ones. This is a huge reason why we recommend using preventatives year round!

We hope everyone has a safe and Happy Easter! 🐣

🌷 Spring is on the horizon! 🌷

As the weather warms up, fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes become more active—bringing risks like Lyme disease and heartworm right along with them.

At our clinic, we strongly recommend keeping your pets on year-round flea, tick, and heartworm prevention to protect them no matter the season. Prevention is always easier (and more affordable!) than treatment.

Not sure what your pet needs or due for a refill? Give us a call—we’re happy to help keep your furry family members safe and healthy all year long 🐾💚
