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.

Call us at (570) 374-2247 to book your pet's 2026 wellness exam today!

Don't forget hydration in winter! 💧

Indoor heating dehydrates pets just like summer heat. Ensure fresh water is always available. Check outdoor bowls for ice.

Signs of dehydration: dry gums, sunken eyes, lethargy, poor skin elasticity.

Try room-temperature water or a fountain to encourage drinking.
