Flea & Tick Control

Preventing fleas and ticks from infesting your pet is much easier and less expensive than treating an existing tick or flea problem. As veterinarians, we have seen the devastating effects of Lyme disease on a beloved pet and witnessed the struggle of a house overrun with fleas. Choosing the right flea and tick control products now can save you considerable time, money, and heartache in the long run.

Give us a call or stop by to learn more about how to keep your pet free from fleas and ticks!

Microchipping
A microchip is a very effective tool in helping reunite lost dogs & cats with their owners.

A tiny microchip, the size of a grain of rice, is inserted under the dog's or cat's skin between the shoulder blades where it will sit painlessly for life. It cannot be seen or moved but it could ensure that if you do lose your dog or cat you would be able to get it back.

A scanner is used to read the information on the microchip. Vets and animal services facilities have scanners and it will ensure that if your dog or cat is found and taken to a vet or animal service facility they will be able to contact you to let you know where your dog or cat is.

By law all dogs must wear a collar and tag with their owner's name and address on it. Your dog's tag could fall off or he could get out of the house when you've taken the collar off. Microchips allow your dog to be identified easily, painlessly and permanently. However, very occasionally a scanner may not work so it is very important to remember to always keep a collar and tag on your pet as well - just in case your dog is one of the very few whose chip is not read.

Is this your pet's first visit to a clinic?

We are dedicated to make your visit a positive experience for you and your pet!

The physical exam consists of a number of procedures to ensure that your pet is healthy from its head to its tail:

  •  Eyes - Are they clear and responsive?
  •  Weight - Could your pet be underweight or  overweight?
  •  Ears - Are they clean without any discharge?
  •  Teeth - Are they clean with no plaque and no  gum disease?
  •  Temperature - Does your pet have a fever?
  •  Stomach - Are they any lumps or is there  any swelling?

The doctor will also talk to you about Heartworm Prevention, Vaccinations and will also offer a Fecal Test for your pet to ensure that your pet is not at risk.

 

All Foods Are Not The Same

The pet food market today offers a huge selection of dry or can food for your beloved pet, but all pet food is not the same!

Puppies and kittens need food high in fat and energy. Feed your young pet food specifically made for them.

Senior pets and less active pets on the other hand need food with less calories and less fat content. If your pet falls in this category please contact us and we will help you decide which food is best for your pet.

We carry special diet/prescription pet food to help your pet recover from a sickness or help control tartar and plaque.

Still not sure what food to feed your pet? Give us a call.


In case of an emergency please contact the
Animal Poison Control: 888-426-4435

 

   
Pets Have Teeth Too!
All pets should have there teeth checked and cleaned at least once a year!

Why Oral Healthcare is Important for Pets
For the sake of your pet's health and comfort, periodontal disease is a threat that can't be ignored. Many of the signs of the disease are hard to miss. Bad breath, discolored teeth and swollen gums that may bleed easily can all be early indications of trouble. Late-stage periodontal disease can cause permanent damage, including loose teeth and tooth loss.

How Problems Begin
Periodontal disease begins when plaque, a mixture of bacteria and food debris, builds up on tooth surfaces and works its way under the gum line. Toxins released by the bacteria cause an inflammatory reaction that can lead to destruction of tissue and bone that anchor the teeth in place. If the bacteria enter the blood stream, they can even affect the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Serious and Common
Periodontal disease is not only serious, it's also more common than most owners realize. In fact, more than 80% of dogs have it by the time they're four years old. So, it's easy to understand why periodontal disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem in pets.

Prevention is the Best Protection from Periodontal Disease
Preventing periodontal disease by keeping your pet's teeth and gums healthy isn't just a job for your veterinarian. It's your job, too. While nothing can take the place of regular visits to the veterinarian for checkups and cleaning, ongoing follow-up oral care at home is just as important in controlling plaque and tartar formation.

Dental care can add three to five years to your pet's life. Dental care is a little recognized, yet necessary part of caring for your pets. By the age of three, some 80 percent of all dogs and 70 percent of all cats show signs of dental disease, which can lead to the more serious problems of heart, lung, and kidney disease.

The AAHA Dental Care Guidelines recommend regular oral examinations and dental cleanings, under general anesthesia, for all adult dogs and cats. AAHA recommends these procedures at least annually starting at one year of age for cats and small-breed dogs, and at two years of age for large-breed dogs.
