Spring Allergies- As the flowers bloom and the weather warms, many pets start to feel more uncomfortable and itchier. If your pet has been off of flea and tick prevention during winter months, it can be difficult to tell if these new symptoms are from fleas or environmental allergies.

🐾 Whether it's seasonal allergies or flea allergies, our team is here to help! Don't hesitate to reach out if you suspect your pet is experiencing discomfort or allergy-related symptoms. Let's keep our furry friends happy and healthy all year round!

How about more puppy posts to brighten up this rainy/snowy day?! These adorable Frenchie-Tzu puppies came in to see us last week for their first checkup. Dr. Lilly (and all of us) were pretty big fans! 😍

These cuties are available for adoption through Pooches United with People--although they are still too young to bring home, but they will be available to adopt/reserve at Pet Evolution in St. Paul this Saturday (2/21) from 12:30-2:30pm.

Meet Minnie the cavapoo pup! She got her first check up with us this morning and did great! She was too adorable not to share! 😍

Yay for these warmer temps! But boo for ticks! 🕷️

Once temps hit around 40°F, ticks start waking up and getting active. Unfortunately this means our pets are at greater risk for tick-borne health issues.

While we’re loving the warmer days, they do come as a great reminder to make sure your pet is protected against ticks with their monthly flea/tick preventatives! 🐶🐱

We recommend year-round flea & tick prevention, but if you took a break over the winter months, now’s the perfect time to get your pet back on track!

Need a refill or have questions? Give us a call—we’re happy to help keep your pet protected!

February is Pet Dental Health Month! All month long we will be sharing some quick pet dental health tips

🦷Did you know chronic bad breath in your pet is never "normal"?🦷

While we all joke about "dog breath," bad breath can actually be a sign of underlying tooth or gum issues such as gum disease, tartar buildup, or even infection.
If you've noticed your pet's breath getting increasingly worse, it's time to get them in to have their oral health checked over!

Next week starts February which is Pet Dental Health Awareness Month! 🦷🐶🐱

Common signs that your pet may be in need of a dental cleaning include:
-Ongoing bad breath
-Difficulty eating or change in eating habits
-Visible tartar
-Chipped or broken teeth
-Swollen or bloody gums

If you think your pet may be in need of a dental cleaning/procedure , give us a call to schedule a pre-dental appointment today for a doctor to assess teeth/gum health.

Has your pet already been told they were due for a dental? Schedule now and you will get 10% off the procedure if scheduled in the month of February!
