Importance of Puppy/Kitten Series

by Heather on January 18, 2012

The holidays have passed and there have been many gifts received, including puppies and kittens! One of the most important tasks as a new owner of a puppy or kitten is having them examined by a Veterinarian and keeping them up to date on vaccines. Puppies have a high probability of contracting the very harmful and potentially deadly parvo virus without the vaccine, this is just one example of an illness that can be prevented by vaccination. Kittens have a higher chance of contracting the potentially fatal feline leukemia virus if not vaccinated. It is important to start puppies and kittens off on the right track and keep them vaccinated throughout adulthood to assist in helping them live long, healthy lives. We offer a series of vaccines and deworming for both puppies and kittens for the appropriated ages of 6 weeks to 16 weeks. Ask us about the puppy plan or kitten plan when making your appointment.

Is Heartworm Prevention Needed Year Round?

by Heather on January 10, 2012

Heartworms are transmitted through mosquitoes. Dogs are hosts for mosquitoes, when a mosquito bites a dog that has heartworms it then transmits them to another dog, or cat. In Texas, mosquitoes are present year round and therefore it is very important to keep pets on heartworm prevention year round. This being said, it is a concern for pets that do not receive prevention. Due to a recent worldwide shortage of heartworm treatment, if a pet becomes infected with heartworms they may not have the option to receive treatment. There are numerous options of heartworm prevention and promotions being offered on many of them.
