✔️ Year-round protection with a single dose
✔️ Ideal for dogs who dislike or can’t take oral medications
✔️ No monthly doses to remember
✔️ Comparable in price to monthly preventatives
✔️ Available exclusively through your veterinarian
And don’t forget — we also offer ProHeart® 12, the once-a-year injectable heartworm prevention. Together, they provide comprehensive 12-month parasite protection with just one veterinary visit a year.

Happy Friday. Bingo is trying out for a part time job at the hospital this morning. So far he’s received far too many treats versus phone calls. He is a 5 month old Florida brown dog mix up for adoption through Love4Paws. Vaccinated/neutered/micrichipped
Thank you Angelica Vaca-Wolff for fostering him.

Starting tomorrow! We will be upgrading our online pharmacy! If you have any questions do not hesitate to call or text 941-371-5951. Everyone with existing orders through the other pharmacy should have a seamless transition! Thank you for your patience during this change.
