This spring and summer is all about Heartworm Awareness 🦟

This is what heartworm disease actually looks like under the microscope… those tiny, moving organisms are called microfilariae — the early life stage of heartworms circulating in the bloodstream.
Heartworms are spread by mosquitoes, and it only takes one bite to put your pet at risk. Once inside the body, these worms grow and live in the heart and lungs, causing serious — and sometimes fatal — damage over time.

The scary part? Many pets show little to no signs early on, which is why prevention is so important.

✔️Monthly prevention is simple, safe, and far less costly than treatment
✔️ Annual testing helps us catch infections early
✔️Protecting your pet means protecting their heart, lungs, and quality of life

If you have questions about heartworm prevention or testing, we’re here to help!

Heckle, the 30 year old African Grey came to see us today. He Immediately went home and posed with his Whole Pet card right before he shredded it to pieces. 😆 Fun fact: shredding paper is normal behavior for most birds, it's a form of play and foraging for them!

No official uniforms here—but somehow we still end up matching more often than not 🐾💙

Guess that’s what happens when a team is this in sync… great minds really do think (and dress) alike.

Just one more reason we love our crew—and the care we give every day.
