SUMMER IS HERE!
~Sizzling Summer Heat~
As temperatures continue to rise,
make sure your pet has all his summer
gear. If he spends most of his time outside, this includes
adequate shade, and
plenty of fresh water changed daily. However, there may be some
days that
are too hot for your pet even
with shade and water, and leaving him inside
would be the safest thing to do.
Remember, whether your pet is inside, outside or both, it is
best to keep
him
protected from fleas and ticks with a monthly prevention. We
sell several
different products such as Advantage, Advantix, and Frontline,
all created to
be
effective yet extremely safe for your pet. There is no
appointment
required, just stop in and pick up yours today.
Important Vacation Information!
If you are planning a vacation soon, don't forget about your
pet! If your
companion
has to spend his vacation in a Kennel ~instead of the
beach~ there
is an
important vaccine he or she has to have before going. The
vaccine is
called
Bordetella, and it protects against what is commonly known as
"Kennel
Cough". It is an airborne disease, and is highly transmittable.
All
kennels
require dogs to have it before boarding, and it is most
effective if
done ten
days or more prior to boarding. It is also recommended that your
dog
receives
this vaccine if he is groomed, enrolled in training classes, or
regularly
visits
heavily (dog) populated environments. (Petsmart, parks, etc.)
Additionally
, if you're planning a camping trip, and your pet will be
joining
you, then it
is important for your dog receive the Lyme disease vaccine. Lyme
disease is
transmitted by the Deer tick, and it only takes 24 hours of
feeding
for the disease to
be passed to your dog.
