🐾🔍 Lumps & Bumps — Don’t Ignore Them! 🩺

Have you noticed a new lump or bump on your pet? While many are harmless, some can be signs of something more serious — and early detection makes all the difference.

At Walker Valley Vet, we recommend having any new growths checked as soon as you notice them. Even small or seemingly painless lumps can change over time, and it’s always best to be safe rather than sorry.

Here’s why early exams matter:
✨ Accurate Diagnosis: Not all lumps are the same — we can determine if it’s a fatty tumor, cyst, abscess, or something requiring further testing.
✨ Peace of Mind: Quick evaluation helps you know exactly what’s going on with your pet’s health.
✨ Better Outcomes: If treatment is needed, catching it early often means simpler, more effective care.

If you’ve found a lump or bump on your dog or cat, give us a call — we’re here to help keep your pets healthy and happy. 💚

🐾✨ Why Spaying & Neutering Your Dog Matters 🩺

At Walker Valley Vet, we believe responsible pet care starts with prevention — and one of the most important steps you can take is spaying or neutering your dog.

Here’s why it’s so beneficial:
💚 Health Benefits: Spaying and neutering can reduce or eliminate the risk of certain cancers and infections, helping your dog live a longer, healthier life.
🐶 Better Behavior: It can help decrease roaming, marking, and aggression related to hormones.
🐾 Fewer Homeless Pets: Every surgery helps prevent unwanted litters and reduces overcrowding in shelters.
🩺 Easier Care: Without heat cycles or hormonal stress, your pet can be more comfortable and easier to manage.

Our compassionate team makes every procedure as safe and stress-free as possible, with personalized pre- and post-op care. ❤️

🐶🌼 Allergies in Dogs — What You Should Know

If your dog has been extra itchy lately, licking their paws, or shaking their head, it could be more than just a little irritation — they might be dealing with allergies.

At Walker Valley Vet, we see many pups with seasonal, environmental, and food-related allergies, and we’re here to help them find relief. 💚

Common signs of allergies include:
🐾 Itchy skin or red, irritated ears
🐾 Excessive licking or chewing paws
🐾 Hair loss or hot spots
🐾 Frequent ear infections
🐾 Watery eyes or sneezing

Allergies can be triggered by pollen, dust, fleas, or even ingredients in your dog’s food. The good news? With proper diagnosis and treatment — from allergy testing to specialized diets and medications — your dog can feel comfortable again. 🩺✨

If your furry friend is showing any of these signs, schedule an appointment today. Let’s get that tail wagging again! 🐾

🐾 Why Flea, Tick & Heartworm Prevention Matters — All Year Long! 🩺

Many pet parents think these pesky parasites are only a problem in the warmer months, but the truth is… fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes can survive year-round — even in New York! 🦟🐶

That’s why at Walker Valley Vet, we recommend keeping your dog on prevention every month, all year long.

Here’s why it’s so important:
✨ Fleas & Ticks Don’t Take Winter Off: They can live indoors and reappear during mild days — bringing diseases like Lyme and Anaplasmosis.
✨ Heartworms Are Silent but Serious: Transmitted by mosquitoes, heartworm disease can be deadly — but it’s completely preventable.
✨ Skipping Doses Creates Risk: Missing just one month can leave your pet unprotected and allow parasites to take hold.

Prevention is simple, safe, and costs far less than treatment — and your pet stays protected no matter the season. 💚
