Just like the northeast areas with Sandy the Storm, we should all be preparing our pets for winter.
Make sure outdoor pets have clean, warm, dry, draft-free housing. Make sure that the areas in front of housing are not going to become mudholes.
Indoor pets need to be checked for parasites (fleas, tapeworms etc) and make sure all pets Indoors and Outdoors are still getting their monthly Heartworm parasite prevention.

I may be big, but I need shelter and care

please think about my safety

Halloween Photos

We would love to have you come by the clinic during the last two weeks of October so we can take pictures of your babies...hopefully in costume.
Please come by...forgive us if you have to wait...But we really would love to see you.....Thanks.

Senior Pet month

In November the Animal Hospital of Walnut Cove recognizes senior pets ( older than 5 yrs) We celebrate their lives by providing a lower cost Blood Panel during the month. The panel, like what you do at your human doctor, checks pets for Diabetese, Liver and Kidney disease. Please call to set up an apt. 

 

Our Assistants will pull a little blood, and within 20 minutes, we can give you information on your pets' health.

October is Here

Now is the time to get your outdoor pets' enviroment ready for winter. Check houses for air and water leaks, make sure you put thick new bedding down, pine shavings are much better than cedar ( resin in cedar can cause skin irritation and respiratory problems)
Make sure that water buckets are clean and easily accessible, also make sure that food buckets are clean.  A covered feeding and drinking station, close to the house really saves money ( food does not get wet)....Make sure you are providing correct housing...LEAN-tos are NOT.
