Spring has arrived!

We welcome the arrival of Spring but the warmer weather brings with it the caution of parasites and allergies.  Keep you pets protected against fleas, ticks, and worms.  If you are not sure which products are best for your pets, ask us, the prevention experts!  Want to become an expert yourself?  Jump on over to our pages about fleas, intestinal parasites (worms) or heartworms.

Flowers are in bloom, and so are allergens!  Just like us, pets can have seasonal allergies.  Pets with allergies may show symptoms of cough, nasal or eye drainage, skin irritation, itchiness, or hot spots.  If your pet experiences any of these symptoms, please schedule an appointment.  We have several oral medications, topical creams and serums and medicated shampoos that can help relieve these allergy problems.

 

Getting a New Pet?

If you are thinking of getting a new pet this spring, we are happy to help you choose the right pet for your lifestyle. Each species and breed has different requirements for exercise, grooming and health care needs.  It is important to understand these things before bringing home a new pet.  If you would like to do research on your own, check out our pet selection links!  "Becoming a Dog Owner" links to several articles including how to prepare for being a pet owner, the cost of owning a pet, and choosing the right pet for you.  The other two links provide information on avoiding puppy mills and how to find a reputable breeder.  Looking to rescue a pet?  Search local adoptable pets on our petfinder.com feed.
