  • To control pests, we recommend year round flea control, as flea season never ends here! If you are unsure of which product is right for your pet, come down to our offices and we can help you with what options are available. Our Doctors recommend deworming at least once a year, but a pet can be dewormed more often depending on their level of exposure.
  • Many people are returning to tending their gardens, adding new plants, or fostering the growth of former beauties. A reminder of a particular danger - Cocoa Mulch, a garden filler that may feel & smell nice, but is highly toxic to dogs and cats if ingested.
