Foxtails are here again! Symptoms of foxtails include swollen toes or feet, cystic structures between the toes, fits or sneezing with possible bloody nose, shaking the head, head tilt, and persistent pawing of the nose or ear. If you should suspect these signs, contact us for an appointment.

With the warm weather upon us, please be sure that your pets have adequate access to fresh water. Keeping hydrated is extremely important.

Be sure your vaccines are up to date. Especially if you are planning on boarding your small animal companion, most kennels require a minimum of 7-10 days between your boarding date and when the updated vaccines are given. Many puppy classes have similar requirements. Be sure you check your kennel and class vaccine requirements.

With puppy and kitten season in full swing, many people find this the best time to add another member to their furry family.  Be sure you do a little research prior to picking out your new pet. Not only is it important to pre-prepare for his arrival, but many breeds have special requirements you may not be aware of. The American Kennel Club website, local humane societies and SPCA’s, and rescue organizations are wonderful sources of information.
