April is Heartworm Awareness Month.

Heartworm disease isn’t just a “southern problem” — it’s right here in New York, and it only takes one mosquito bite to put your dog at risk.

As the weather warms up, mosquito activity increases, and so does the risk of heartworm transmission. These parasites live in the heart and lungs, causing serious — and sometimes fatal — damage if left untreated.

💔 The scary part? Many dogs show no signs until the disease is advanced.

✅ The good news:
Heartworm disease is completely preventable with monthly prevention and annual testing.

Here’s how you can protect your pup:
• Keep your dog on year-round heartworm prevention - consider the once a year injectable preventative if you forget to give meds!
• Schedule annual heartworm testing
• Don’t skip doses — consistency is key!

Treatment for heartworm disease can be costly, lengthy, and hard on your dog — prevention is always the safer, easier choice.

🐶 Give us a call today to make sure your pet is protected — because their heart deserves it.

🌱 PSA for dog parents: That bag of fertilizer in your garage could be toxic to your pup. ☠️

Many common garden fertilizers contain iron, nitrogen, and pesticides that are highly toxic to dogs — even in small amounts. Symptoms of fertilizer poisoning include vomiting, drooling, tremors, and difficulty breathing.

Keep your pet safe:
🚫 Store fertilizers in locked, dog-proof containers
🚫 Keep dogs off fertilized lawns for at least 24–48 hours
✅ Look for pet-safe, organic alternatives
✅ Call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control (888-426-4435) immediately if you suspect ingestion

We had a very special visitor at the hospital this week — Sticks the bearded dragon! 🐉💚

Sticks came in for a check-up wearing the most amazing dragon-wing harness, and we are still not over how adorable (and fierce!) she looked. Her wings were a perfect match for her personality, and she handled her visit like a true legend.

Exotic pets need regular veterinary care, too, and we love getting the chance to see patients like Sticks. Thanks to her family for letting us share this awesome moment!

📸 Warning: cuteness levels may be dangerously high.
