The connection you share with your pet is powerful—it boosts mental and physical health for both of you. Whether it’s a morning cuddle, an evening walk, or simply having them nearby, your pet adds meaning and comfort to your daily life. A great way to show appreciation is by staying proactive about their health and keeping them on track with preventive care.

Fleas, ticks, and heartworms don't take winter breaks! ❄️🦟
Year-round prevention is essential because:
-Fleas survive indoors in winter.
-Ticks are active whenever temperatures exceed 40°F.
-Heartworm prevention requires consistent monthly dosing and not only protects against heartworm disease but also intestinal parasites.
-Intestinal parasites spread year-round.
Modern preventives are safe and effective, protecting against multiple parasites with one monthly treatment.
Skipping even one month creates gaps in protection. We've seen heartworm-positive dogs who missed just a few doses.

90% of pets 3 years of age or older experience chronic pain associated with dental disease. 🦷

Dental disease isn't just about bad breath — it affects the whole body. Bacteria from infected gums enter the bloodstream and can damage the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Signs Of Dental Disease:

- Bad breath.
- Yellow or brown tartar buildup.
- Red, swollen gums.
- Difficulty eating or dropping food.
- Pawing at the mouth.

Prevention includes regular dental cleanings, at-home brushing, and dental chews.

February is National Pet Dental Month — Call us to schedule your pet's dental exam now!

Healthy nutrition starts with choosing food that matches your pet’s life stage and health needs.

Portion control matters more than most owners realize, and treats can quietly add up faster than expected.

Fresh water, consistent feeding routines, and avoiding table scraps all play a role in long-term health.

And since every pet is different, our team can help you select the diet that best supports your pet’s lifestyle and medical needs!

Keeping pets active during cold weather takes creativity! 🐾

Indoor Exercise Ideas:

- Hide and seek with treats for mental stimulation.
- Indoor fetch in a hallway or large room.
- Laser pointers and feather toys for cats.
- Puzzle feeders that make mealtime active.
- Stair climbing for cardio.

Outdoor Exercise Ideas:

When was your pet's last wellness exam? 🩺

Annual exams are essential because pets can’t tell us what’s wrong and may be suffering with medical issues that are not apparent to us.

Wellness Exams Detect:

-Early signs of illness before symptoms appear.
-Dental disease affecting overall health.
-Weight changes impacting joint and organ function.
-Age-related conditions requiring management.

Early detection means more treatment options and better outcomes.
