Halloween

Don't forget that this is the time that allergies affect our 4 legged kids. It is NOT all about fleas. If your kiddo is chewing and scratching, it may be allergens. Come by and lets make sure. You can always try benadryl, the standard 25mg. is not going to cause your baby any problems. If you notice that it is helping, that is one way of telling that your kiddo has allergies.

On that note: no candies, no trick or treating for the 4 leggeds. Make sure they are safely inside and were no one can do any tricks on them.

Halloween

Halloween is coming, we need some pix of your ghouls and gobblins. If your 4 legged friend has a hankering for wearing costumes, come by and let us take their picture.. We sure will appreciate it and you never know, you may have the next U-tube star.....

No Heartworm treatment available READ!!!

Please note:  Due to lack of raw materials, IMMITICIDE, the approved heartworm TREATMENT, not the prevention, is no longer available. The makers are not sure when it will come back. The American Heartworm Society is asking all veterinarians to warn people. KEEP YOUR DOGS ON monthly heartworm prevention.............Once they get it, there is no cure at this time......

the ticks roll on

so I went to the movies, as I got into the car, a tick was crawling on my arm. Yuck...don't forget..continue to check your pets.

The tick saga continues

These ticks are smaller than a watermelon seed.

this tubfull of small seed ticks can kill a 20 lb pet in 72 hours by making them so anemic they cannot live. It takes frontline 48 hours to kill ticks.

It is extremely important to check your outdoor pets very carefully every day. All it takes is one nest of these.

as we discussed previously, ticks are here...they are not going away yet. We have had several cases of extreme tick attacks, and not just on the pets. Check these pictures out.

School is around the corner and so are the busses

It is nice to know that your pet will follow you to the bus stop, but it is very risky for your pet. Many drivers are rushing to get to work and may not always be paying attention. Keep your pet at home when you leave, that way you know that your pet will be waiting for you when you get back from school.

Ticks...not just a pretty face

 The ticks are out to win the war. It seems that we have had more ticks for a longer period of time this summer than ever before.

 Ticks are more prevalent than previous years due to the increase in deer population. Ticks also bring the rickettsial diseases such as Lymes. Lymes can cause so many problems that often we attribute to colds, but no...it's that parasite.

Stay tuned for more.
