Middle of the Month Reminder

Keeping our pets healthy is an on-going process. An ounce of prevention IS WORTH A Pound of Cure.


- Time to give heartworm preventative medication.    

- It's too warm for your pet in the car if the temp. is 70 degrees or above.  A short time can be fatal even with the windows open.

- Give your pet a thorough grooming  -  check for sores that need to be cleaned

- Check your pets ears - are they nice and clean or do they have a bad odor?    If yes, clean the ears gently.    Ear problems are painful to our pets too.  

- Trim the toenails - remember the dew claws if your pet has them

-  Check to make sure the collar isn't too tight

-  Clean up the yard or kennel where your pet spends time
