Spring!

---

It's April—springtime is here! Although we've all been looking forward to spring, none of us are looking forward to the mosquitoes. Mosquitoes carry heartworms, and all it takes is one mosquito to bite your pet to become infected.

Here’s the good news about heartworm disease. It’s an illness that can be easy and affordable to prevent. The bad news is, if you don’t prevent it the right way, your pet is at high risk of getting sick. Heartworm disease is dangerous to your pet and some signs of the illness are tough to spot. Your pet may be acting fine, but they may have so many heartworms inside their body that it can become life threatening.

You may be thinking, “my pet stays indoors, so there’s no need for heartworm prevention.” But, heartworms are carried by mosquitoes, which get into everyone’s homes! One mosquito bite is all that’s needed to spread the disease to your furry friend.

Schedule your pet’s yearly checkup with us. We’ll do a thorough exam, including a simple heartworm test, to make sure your pet is at his/her optimum health. And we’ll talk about the best way to prevent heartworm disease, so your pet stays healthy, happy and safe!

Make an appointment for your pet’s annual exam today!

Ticks, Fleas and Parasites
During the winter and early spring...

---

It's important not to let your guard down during the winter or early spring.  Insects and parasites can still survive and transmit disease in the cooler temps. 

FLEAS AND TICKS 

• Fleas can survive in temps down to the 30’s, ticks to 45, or even lower if colder temperatures aren't sustained.
• Fleas and eggs can survive on a warm host or in a warmer area, like a garage or patio.
• Wildlife can shed parasites outside your home, leaving them dormant  just waiting for your pets.

​
INTERNAL PARASITES

• Dormant mosquito larvae can develop in a few days of 50 degree temps.
• Intestinal parasites can be transmitted by infected wildlife such as birds or mice.
• Eggs live on even after the worms die and pets can pick them up on their paws while walking in muddy areas.

​
Be sure to stay on top of your pet's flea, tick and heartworm prevention year round!
