Local Medical Issues 

There are numerous local medical issues that can impact your pet's health which require your attention over the entire year. One example are heartworms. These are transmitted by mosquitoes and can affect both cats and dogs. Since winter temperatures do not get cold enough to kill mosquito eggs, it is a year round risk. Giving the recommended monthly heartworm medication, called Interceptor Plus, prevents not only heartworms but other intestinal parasites which are in our environment year round. We also have fleas and ticks in our area, so we recommend monthly applications of Simpleguard. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease as well as other tick-borne ailments. We follow the American Heartworm Society guidelines which mandate yearly heartworm testing. This blood test also checks for the 3 tick borne diseases: lyme disease, ehrlichia and anaplasmosis. Prevention is essential to keeping your pet happy and healthy!
