Easter is almost here! 🌷🍫

As we get ready for egg hunts, baskets, and family celebrations, here’s a quick pet safety reminder:

⚠️Lilies are extremely toxic to cats. Even small exposures (pollen, leaves, or water from the vase) can cause severe kidney failure. If you have cats at home, it’s safest to avoid bringing lilies inside.

🍫 Chocolate is also dangerous for pets, especially dogs. Be sure to keep Easter candy and baskets stored safely out of reach.

Spring is here… and so are the bugs! 🍀🦟

If it feels like fleas have been worse than ever lately, you’re not imagining it. This has been one of the worst years yet that we’ve seen for flea infestations.

As the weather warms up, flea, tick, and mosquito populations explode, putting pets at risk for much more than just itching.

That’s why we’re recommending one of the most comprehensive preventatives we offer: 𝘾𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙤 𝙌𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙧𝙤.
This monthly chew helps protect dogs against:

🍀Fleas
🍀Ticks
🍀Heartworms (Spread by mosquitos)
🍀Intestinal parasites (roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms)

If your dog isn’t currently protected or you’d like to switch to a more complete preventative, call or text us at 541-926-0291.
We’re happy to help you find the best option for your pet!🍀🐾💚
