August heartworm reminder

8/1/2019

2 Comments

 

Reminder: time to give your pet its flea, tick and heartworm medication.

Head and thorax of a cat flea, many segments with hairs and jaggend lines all monotone against a white background.  The creature looks unearthly and alien.
Head and thorax of a cat flea seen by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
This is a real picture of a cat flea seen with a special type of microscope that uses electrons instead of light.  Fleas proliferate in warm weather and come inside on your dog or cat.  They jump onto animals to feed and jump off again living close to the ground - including your bed, blankets, couches and carpet.  A flea can jump fifty times it's body length: 18 cm vertically and 33 cm horizontally!

It is time to give July's dosage of flea, tick and heartworm medication, if you haven't already.  This is a once monthly medication to be given up to and including November.  If you have any questions or concerns about the medication your animal has been prescribed or are interested in a more comprehensive prescription please call your veterinarian.

Our first visit to these amazing, compassionate people was today, an extremely sad day. We are new to the area, with an old, sick kitty. They took us in with kind, professional, compassion. So kind in the way they helped our furry child pass to a better place. I recommend them to everyone.
