| |  | September is Lyme Disease and Parasite Awareness Month!
 
| | Don’t let these nasty parasites attack your friends!!If you have an animal, chances are good you have had a run in with intestinal parasites. Most pet owners have had to deal with the common parasites, like roundworms and hookworms, when monitoring their pet's health, but there are other lesser known parasites which pet owners should know about. While whipworms are frequent in the southern United States, they are less common, even rare, throughout the country. This parasite causes the most deaths among adult animals that veterinarians see. Whipworms are spread by contact with fecal matter and can live dormant for over five years. Tapeworms are also familiar for animals too and are one of the most annoying parasites in pet health care to date. This parasite can cause vomiting and diarrhea but is not terminal for animals. Many people have had contact with this parasite. It looks like pieces of rice around dog's and cat's rectums. Tapeworms are spread by infected fleas and rodents to our pets. These parasites are very different in size and shape and cause different problems, but there are a few things you can do to keep your pet's health parasite free. Parasites such as roundworms, hookworms and whipworms are easily controlled by oral medications. Probably the best long-term option for these parasites is heartworm preventatives because they are wormed monthly. Most veterinarians recommend yearly fecals, and after that test is complete your veterinarian can recommend any number of preventatives. Also because of the warm weather, ticks are still out and about, protect your pets monthly to keep them from getting Tick diseases such as Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis! So during the month of September, we are offering 10% off the purchase of Frontline, Interceptor, and Revolution to help protect your pets, and also on H/L/E/A (heartworm/lyme/ehrlichia/anaplasmosis tests) and fecal tests to make sure they are negative!! |

Canine Influenza Virus, also known as H3N8 is a highly contagious respiratory infection that causes flu like symptoms consisting of cough, sneezing and nasal discharge. Virtually all exposed dogs become infected; about 80% develop flu like illness, while another 20% do not become ill. Because dogs of any breed, age or health status are susceptible to this infection, it is highly recommended that you vaccinate your pet as soon as possible to prevent them from contracting this virus. The H3N8 virus is likely to spread where dogs are housed together or where dogs come in and out constantly like shelters, boarding/grooming and training facilities, day care centers, dog shows, vet clinics, pet stores!! Protect your pet against this virus, call today for an appointment to get the H3N8 vaccine.
