We will not be doing our vaccination
clinics this summer. If you are a client that has
a pet(s) in need of vaccinations that is not due for an
exam(s), we do offer appointments with our
technicians, for technician administered vaccinations.
NO EXAM WILL BE GIVEN!
Seasonal Tips!!
With summer on it's way, we have
a few seasonal tips to pass on.
1. Foxtails- Keep your dogs out of areas with
foxtails. Foxtails can enter many areas of a pets
body (ears, eyes, noses, toe webs). They can cause
pain and infection.
2. Have a cool shady place for your pet to stay
during hot weather. Many dogs enjoy a wading
pool to cool off in on a hot summer day!
NEVER leave your dog in the car on a hot day! Even
with the with the windows down a bit, the
temperatures can become deadly in a very short
time.
3.Beware of rattlesnakes! As the weather warms
up, the snakes become more active. A vaccination
is available for dogs to aid in the reduction of
serious injury/death due to rattlesnake
bite(envenomation). Ask our staff for more
information.
Our office will be closed on Saturday
September 4th for the Labor day holiday. We
will re-open on Tuesday September 7th for
the Labor day holiday. Please keep this in
mind if you will need to pick up medications
and/or pet food.
