  Greetings!

 
Welcome to Spring! If you notice the squirrels, racoons, and opossums
making a reappearance, you know that fleas and ticks are not far behind. Spring is also the start of heartworm season. Be sure to read our recommendation on how you can protect your pet.
 
We are working diligently on our second annual 4Paws/1Cause walk-a-thon in support of the Morris Animal Foundation and pet cancer research. In June, we will be running a cancer screening special as well. Be sure to check our website regularly for updates about these events.

CancerIn honor of our 4Paws/1Cause walk-a-thon and in support of all our pet cancer patients we are dedicating the month of June to pet cancer awareness.  Early detection is as vital in pets as it is in humans. We will be offering cancer screenings in June  at a discounted rate. Please call our office for details.

Heartworm
Heartworm Season is Here....and so are fleas and ticks!
  
Heartworm season is here and there is no better time to start protecting your pet against heartworm disease. We recommend using a heartworm preventative once a month,year round,for the prevention of this potentially fatal disease. 
   
Now through June 30, we are offering our clients the opportunity to save on Heartgard Plus (heartworm protection) and Frontline Plus (flea and tick prevention).
  
If you purchase 12 months of Heartgard Plus and 6 months of Frontline Plus you will not only get a rebate of $12 from the purchase of Heartgard Plus, from Merial (mailed to your home), you will recieve 2 free doses of Frontline Plus and $25 off your purchase on the day of your visit. This is an approximate savings of $80, making our prices comparable to online pharmacies. Merial offers a full quarantee when you purchase these products  from your veterinarian.
  
Our staff is always happy to answer any questions you may have and can assist you with the basics of applying these products.

Agilityin Agility Training for Dogs

 

Is your dog full of energy? Does your puppy treat your home or yard as an obstacle course? Then you may want to sign them up for agility training and competition. During these events dogs learn to navigate a racecourse with you as their guide. It's a great way to bond with your dog and spend an afternoon boosting up your heart rate!
