Why do we recommend heartworm prevention? Because we've treated heartworm disease, and it's not an easy process - it's very painful and costly. Year-round heartworm prevention ensures your pet is protected from this horrible disease.

When it comes to Heatstroke in pets, it's important to ACT FAST! Heatstroke is a life-threatening condition that can affect pets quickly during warm or humid weather. Dogs and cats can’t regulate their body temperature as efficiently as humans, making them more vulnerable to overheating. Flat-faced breeds, older animals, overweight pets, and those with thick coats are particularly at risk. If left untreated, it can lead to organ failure or death within minutes.
