Two dogs have demonstrated the ability to identify Parkinson's disease by sniffing skin swabs, achieving up to 80% sensitivity and 98% specificity in a double-blind trial in the Journal of Parkinson's Disease. Black Labrador Peanut and golden retriever Bumper, trained by Medical Detection Dogs, detect a unique scent in the sebum of Parkinson's patients, which could help researchers isolate chemical biomarkers and develop chemical tests

🇺🇸🎆 Fireworks & Furry Friends: What You Need to Know This 4th of July 🐾💙

While we celebrate freedom with fireworks, many of our pets experience fear, confusion, and stress. Loud noises and flashing lights can trigger firework anxiety — causing pets to hide, shake, or even run away.

💡 Here are a few simple ways to keep your pets safe and calm:

🐶 Set up a quiet, comfy retreat inside your home
🎵 Use calming music or white noise to soften the booms
🪟 Close windows and curtains to block out flashes and noise
🆔 Double-check that their microchip & ID tags are up-to-date
🧥 Ask your vet about calming aids or anxiety wraps if needed

💬 Pro tip: Exercise your dog earlier in the day to help burn off nervous energy before the fireworks begin!

Let’s make this a safe and happy holiday for every member of the family — even the four-legged ones. ❤️🐾

📸If you need some drugs, call and get them ahead of time. We will be closed Friday July 4th.
