🦟 Did you know that Lyme disease-affected pets do not develop the classic bullseye rash seen in humans? In fact, many pets show no signs at all, or their signs are often vague and nonspecific, which sometimes results in an incorrect or delayed diagnosis.

Lyme disease testing (i.e., a blood test) is advised for pets with clinical signs that include fever, lethargy, appetite loss, swollen lymph nodes, intermittent lameness, and painful or swollen joints.

Because Lyme disease signs can come and go or be entirely absent, we recommend dogs be tested annually for tick-borne diseases, which involves a simple blood test similar to their yearly heartworm test. Protect your furry friend from this debilitating condition by contacting us at 760-749-0560. 🐾

Effective dog training requires trust, which is built on clear communication. By learning to read your dog's behavior, you can better understand their needs and improve your relationship. Plus, improving behavior can help ensure your furry friend stays in their home and avoids surrender to a shelter.

🐾🧠 Did you know that physical activity and mental stimulation are essential for your pet's health? But a quick jog around the block or a few minutes' playtime isn't enough to keep them engaged.

🐶🐱 Switch things up by using puzzle feeders, trying new toys, or playing scent games to encourage your furry friend's mental abilities. Enroll in obedience classes, practice old skills, or try a new canine sport for even more mental stimulation.

🏋️‍♀️🐾 Your cat will appreciate additional climbing opportunities and prey-like toys to exercise their predatory instincts. Need more ideas? Call to talk to your veterinarian.

🍇🚫 STOP! Grapes and raisins are NOT pet-friendly snacks!

🐾 Even if your furry friend begs for a bite, it's best to avoid feeding them these toxic treats. Why? Because they contain tartaric acid that can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and kidney damage. Play it safe and stick to pet-safe snacks!👌
