Flea and Tick season is upon us! Make sure you have preventatives for your pets.

Ticks can carry many diseases. Some of these diseases can also affect humans.
Fleas can trigger allergies, cause anemia, and carry tapeworms.

It is important to treat your pet with the correct products. Many cats have had severe reactions after being treated with a dog product. There are also counterfeit preventatives, so purchasing them from your veterinarian is best to avoid counterfeits.

If you have questions about products or counterfeits, I would love to help you!

This Easter, remember, lilies can kill cats. The entire plant is toxic! It can cause kidney failure within 36-72 hours. The toxicity can happen by ingestion or even by mouthing very small parts of the plant. Toxicity can even happen if they drink the water the plant is in!

Heartworm disease

Vet clinics can test for this disease with a blood test. The earlier it is detected, the better the chances the pet will recover. Your vet clinic will have recommendations on how often your pet should be tested. Since the larvae take 6 months to mature, it takes at least 6 months for a dog to test positive. If your dog is under 7 months they can start on prevention, then get tested 6 months later. Dogs over 7 months should be tested before starting prevention.

Cat heartworm infections are harder to detect because cats are less likely to have adult heartworms and have fewer heartworms.

Heartworms can be prevented by a few different preventives. Most are given monthly and work very well. But if you miss a dose, give it late, or the prevention gets vomited or spit out, your pet is at risk. Talk to your veterinarian about which prevention is best for your pet.

Today is World Hamster Day!
Some fun facts about hamsters!
🐾 hamsters' incisor teeth have no roots and never stop growing. Gnawing keeps their teeth nice and sharp while preventing them from becoming too overgrown.
🐾their name comes from the German word "hamstern," which means to forage.
🐾their cheeks are built for food storage to bring back to their burrows and also have a secondary purpose: They fill up with air so hamsters can float in water

Since it is Dog Bite Prevention Week, let's discuss how to greet a dog. Many bites happen during a greeting. Many dogs don't like to be touched by strangers. Does this surprise you? Do you like it when strangers touch you?

Dogs also have personal space, just like we do. Watch the dog's body language to see if it is comfortable with the situation. Are their ears back or flattened? Are they avoiding eye contact or have 'whale eye'? Are they yawning or lip-licking? These are all signs they are uncomfortable.
Also, ask the owner if you can pet the dog.

It is Dog Bite Prevention Week.
Did you know that more than 4.5 million people in the US are bitten by dogs each year? Children are the most common victims of dog bites and are more likely to be severely injured. Most dog bites can be prevented.

What can you do to prevent dog bites: socialize your dog, be a responsible owner with training, exercise, and spaying/neutering the dog, educate the family on how to approach a dog, avoid risky situations, and pay attention to body language.

If you need help socializing your dog or have questions about the spay/neutering process, I would love to help!

Do you have pet insurance? Today is National Pet Insurance Day!
I do for Dixie and Ruby! Pet insurance can be a great peace of mind if something happens. There are many different companies with different policies on what they cover. Many don’t cover wellness appointments without a rider.
Many vet clinics require payment upfront, so if your pet has an emergency such as a broken leg, toxin, or seizures, that vet visit can add up quickly. With pet insurance, most will reimburse you depending on your policy and your deductible.

It is National Siamese Cat Day!
Did you know they are known for having a voice and not being shy about it? They are usually not very independent and do better in homes with kids and people who are home more. They are also born entirely white, and over time, their markings develop.

Every day is Tag Day!
Every year, 10 million pets are lost in the US, and only 15% of dogs and 2% of cats in shelters without ID tags or microchips are reunited with their owners.
Make sure your pet has ID tags or, better yet, is microchipped! Even if it is only indoors, they may sneak out of the house.
Also, make sure the tag and microchip information is up to date and has current address/phone numbers.

What is Heartworm Disease?
It is that time of the year for us to talk about Heartworms. This disease is very serious and potentially fatal in pets. Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitos. When a mosquito bites an infected pet, the microfilaria (baby heartworm) enters the mosquito. It will develop into an infective stage. The mosquito will then bite a dog or cat; the infective larvae are left on the surface of the pet's skin and will enter the pet through the mosquito bite. The larvae will then mature into adult heartworms. They live in the heart, lungs, and associated blood vessels. Which in turn can cause heart failure, lung disease, and more. These heartworms can live 5-7 years in dogs and 2-3 years in cats! I’ll post more information this month on prevention, testing, and the disease.
