Alert

It’s a HEAT WAVE

Remember your furry friends during this HOT Oklahoma summer! If at all possible, keep them inside during the hot afternoon and early evening. If this isn’t a possibility and they must remain outdoor, make sure they have plenty of water and shade!

Consider providing ice cubes or blocks, or shaded “kiddie” pools, as well.

And remember, brachycephalic breeds are MUCH more likely to experience heat exhaustion/heat stroke!

Celebrate, FYI

Parasites

‘Tis the Season….

…flea and tick season, that is!

It’s spring, which means the parasites are out in full force! Although we recommend year-round flea, tick, and heartworm protection for your pets, springtime in Oklahoma is a good reminder to protect your outdoor AND indoor pets from creepy-crawlies, and from all the nasty diseases they can spread.

We expect this year’s tick-disease threat to be slightly-to-greatly above average, so don’t wait! Talk to your veterinarian about the best prevention for your pets today!
