Tick Prevention is Easy

Ticks are potentially deadly to our pets , and we live in a high tick area. But tick prevention has become a whole lot easier for our dogs with the release of 3 new products. Bravecto is a chewable tablet given every 3 months Nexgard is a monthly chewable Seresto is a collar that provides up to 4 months tick prevention. All of these products also prevent fleas. We hope that in the future, the number of dogs affected by the Paralysis Tick is negligible. Unfortunately these products are no registered for use in cats, but work is currently being […]

How To Clean Your Dogs Ears

1. Hold the ear flap up gently towards the sky 2. Insert the nozzle of your ear cleaner (e.g. Epi Otic) into the ear canal. 3. Squirt the bottle gently until ear canal overfills 4. Remove bottle, rub the ear canal for 10 seconds 5. Let your dog shake its head then wipe away excess discharge/moisture with a tissue or cotton wool. 6. Repeat until ear is clean. Cleaning ears every 1 to 2 weeks is recommended for dogs predisposed to ear problems. Watch the video.

Toad Poisoning

TOADS are also very common in our back yards throughout Summer. Toads are toxic to dogs and cats and unfortunately many pets like to chase and chew them because they hop around the yard like living toys. Symptoms to watch for are frothing at the mouth, bright red gums, shaking, collapse, and seizuring. Using a bucket of cold water and an old wash cloth, you can help by wiping your pet’s gums and mouth thoroughly with the dampened wash cloth for 20 minutes, as the toad toxin is absorbed through the gums. Vet treatment is recommended as soon as possible.
