October Is National Pet Wellness Month

As always, preventative medicine is the best course of action to keep your pets healthy.
In almost every disease, early detection is very important. The only way to find or diagnose these conditions is to look for them.
We recommend yearly blood screenings, urinalysis, fecal exams, heartworm testing, and regular 6 month physical examinations. Keep in mind that animals age faster than is, 6 months for us is 3.5 years for your pet.

Heartworm Season

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition caused by the parasite Dirofilaria Immitis, which is transmitted through mosquito bites. Once infected, adult heartworms settle in the heart, while larvae circulate in the bloodstream, leading to severe damage to the heart, lungs, and circulatory system.
Sadly, many dogs suffer permanent health issues or lose their lives each year due to heartworm-related complications. The risk is increasing in our area, but the good news is that heartworm disease is highly preventable.
We strongly recommend annual testing and year-round preventative care to keep your dog safe and healthy.
A simple routine can make all the difference!

As always, please give us a call for more details!
