There have been many sightings of snakes this year and some pets bitten. Please be careful and try to keep pets out of harms way. Another thing to remember, we have the Rattlesnake Vaccine for those that would like to have their dogs vaccinated. Ask us about it and/or see link below…………………

Due to closing of the manufacturing plant Novartis, Interceptor and Sentinel will no longer be available. It is unknown if and when these products will be available on the market again. We will keep you updated when we know the latest information. There are other manufacturers products available including Heartgard and the newest on the market, Trifexis. There are great advantages to Trifexis, it contains the same active ingredient as Interceptor and Sentinel for heartworm prevention as well as an addition of the same active ingredient as Comfortis flea prevention. For a decent cost each month, a heartworm/flea prevention in one pill can be given to your dog, we keep Trifexis in stock regularly.
As pet owners, it is not only our choice it is our duty to ensure that our pets are cared for and protected in many ways. Annual exams, vaccinations, necessary medications and procedures, and tender loving care are all part of the pet owner regimen. Many pet owners do not believe that pets need vaccines, heartworm prevention or flea prevention. There are various viruses and diseases that are carried by animals that can be prevented by vaccination. Mosquitos are present year round in Texas even if there is not water near, these little flying insects carry heartworms and transmit them through our pets bloodstream, infecting them with the disease. Fleas are the pesky little creatures that are often forgotten about in households and many pet owners do not believe they have them in their homes when really they do, at times only noticing when the infestation is out of control. We do not want to be unhealthy, lets do the same for our pets.
