This week we wanted to highlight a sweet dog named Torii. Torii was adopted at 4 months old after being returned three times. Torii's owner, Asa, explained that she was returned back to the shelter due to her excessive energy. Asa said Torii's energy didn't scare her and they quickly became great friends. Asa said that Torii has grown up to be, a "golden angel dog."

Torii is very social and loves to go to the office with Asa. Torri loves making new friends and getting lots of pets.

Last year, Torii was diagnosed with an aural hematoma in her left ear. An aural hematoma is a collection of blood, either fresh or clotted, within the pinna (ear flap). Dr. Roach drained the hematoma and gave the ear laser therapy. it has since healed nicely. In April of this year, another aural hematoma was found in Torii's right ear. Dr. Anderson drained the hematoma and it is currently healing nicely.

We love an awesome recovery story! Has your pet been positively impacted by Holistic Pet Care Center? Leave a comment below!

Happy Memorial Day! While it is fun to celebrate with friends, it is also important to protect your pet for what the weekend brings. These quick reminders will help you keep an eye on your dog as you both enjoy the holiday weekend.

1. Keep a water bowl and shaded area close by. Memorial Day is the first holiday of summer, which means it can be quite hot. Pets can easily overheat, which is why you should ensure they have access to water and shade throughout the day.

2. Watch them closely near water. Like humans, pets such as dogs love to swim and are at risk of drowning if not closely monitored. Even if your pet is a great swimmer, you still need to be aware of the changing water conditions and keep a close eye on them.

3. Be cautious of table scraps. A barbecue with family and friends is a staple of Memorial Day weekend. Whether you are grilling chicken or throwing some corn on the grill, be careful of the scraps your pet gets ahold of. Some leftovers can be toxic or a choking hazard.

4. Consider keeping them on a leash. Many dangers can be avoided if your pet is on a leash. They will still be able to enjoy the outdoors and company, but will be less likely to get into something that could harm them. It will also keep them from wandering away when near a distraction.

5. Protect them from fireworks. Many pets are frightened by the sound of fireworks. Try creating a safe haven. Try setting up a quiet and safe area away from windows, (such as a basement or a closet) so that your pet can’t hear or see fireworks. You can also provide an open crate if that’s where your pet feels safe. Be sure to provide your pet with familiar toys and treats.

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition that affects dogs, cats, and other mammals. It is caused by a parasitic worm called Dirofilaria immitis also known as heartworm. Heartworms are transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes. Once inside the host, the heartworms mature and reproduce, with adult worms typically residing in the heart, lungs, and associated blood vessels of the infected animal.

Heartworm disease is preventable with the help of preventive medications. Regular screening tests and discussions with a veterinarian are crucial for pet owners to ensure their pets remain protected against Heartworm diseases. At Best Friends Animal Clinic, we offer a wide range of heartworm prevention and we can test your pet for heartworm disease. To ensure your pet is prepared for heartworm season give us a call today at 405-273-5617.
