Spring is here and so are fleas, ticks, and heartworms. We have teamed up with our friends at Merial to bring you some extra special promotions. This spring, not only are we giving out rebates up to 50 dollars, we are also giving out prizes as well. If you purchase a 30 count of Oravet Dental Chews we are giving out a size appropriate Kong toy! If you purchase 12 doses of Heartgard in combination with at least 6 doses of Nexgard we have 30oz RTIC Tumblers available. Please remember flea, tick, and heartworm product is an important part of your pet's preventative care. Happy Spring!

     With Spring right around the corner we have events like Mardi Gras, Easter, Spring cleaning, etc. This is a good time to accidentally leave small items lying around. Small bead necklaces, plastic eggs, children's toys are all items that seem fun for a pet to play with but HAVE CAUTION! Occasionally we get a visit from a patient who has been lethargic for a few days, weak, unable to eat or drink, vomiting, and unable to have a bowel movement. Although these my seem like very vague symptoms, combine these with a patient who has a history of getting into the garbage or chewing items left around the house and you have a possible Bowel Obstruction. In simpler terms, the patient has eaten something that has gotten stuck in either the stomach or intestines. If the object does not pass naturally, it must be removed. And exploratory surgery for removal can be quite pricey. Even more scary is if the patient isn't diagnosed in time and the item isn't removed it can be fatal. We know how much you care about your loved one and would just like to warn you of the possible dangers of obstruction. Please take the time this season to pick up any potentially edible item.

Can you guess the number one reason why pet owners are interested in having a dental done for their loved ones? That's right... BAD BREATH! Although bad breath is a god reason to get those teeth cleaned, there may be more to it than halitosis. Bad breath can be a symptom for decay, abscesses, and other diseases. There is a whole month dedicated to oral hygiene, it must be important. Please take advantage of the discounts and education offered during the month of February regarding your pet's oral health.
