 Tip of the Month!

It's June 2024! 

As we all deal with staying healthy, please notify me to make special arrangements if you are feeling ill whether from COVID-19, flu, RSV or cold. I travel quite a bit for my business and need to take precautions for all the people and pets I see.

 

Be Well.

Practice patience, tolerance, empathy and provide support to others as we go about our daily lives!

Flea and tick season is here! Be sure to check your pet daily for those pesky ticks as they do like to hide.

Looking for options in pet insurance for your new puppy or kitten or other beloved pet? You never know when an emergency might occur and knowing your insurance will help cover expenses is always a relief. We all want the best care and services for our pets, but we also know that cutting edge veterinary care can be expensive.

Are you boarding your pet while you visit family or friends? Make sure to find out ahead of time what vaccines are needed. More facilities are starting to require the influenza and leptospirosis vaccines in addition to the kennel cough (Bordetella) vaccine. These vaccines are not necessarily done on every pet as part of the routine vaccinations. Unfamiliar with dog flu? See my blog for more information.
