Summer Heat Alert!!!

Make sure your pet has access to plenty of cool, fresh water 24 hours a day. Be aware that asphalt can quickly get hot enough to burn the pads of pets' paws. Never leave your pet in a vehicle even for a minute. Avoid strenuous exercise on extremely hot days. If you plan to travel with your pet, know that federal regulations prohibit shipping live animals as excess baggage or cargo if an animal could be exposed to temperatures above 85°F. Some airlines do not ship pets at all during the summer months, regardless of the temperature. Check with your airlines for individual policies.

What would you do if your pet got lost?

The NEW HomeAgain Microchip is always looking out for your pet.

With a 1 time activation fee and annual membership fee HomeAgain will contact shelters and all veterinarians within a 25 mile radius of loss, provide any vet with your pet’s emergency medical information, create lost pet poster with your pet’s photo. 10 million pets get lost every year. Without ID, 90% do not return home.                      

Microchipping saves lives!

R/D® with Chicken Canine
For the Nutritional Management of Obese or Overweight Dogs

Being overweight can cause your pet discomfort, reduce energy levels and even shorten their life. Just as in people, weight gain is usually associated with excessive calorie and fat intake combined with a lack of exercise. Obesity can lead to such serious conditions as heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes. Prescription Diet® r/d® with Chicken Canine dog food is designed specifically for the management of dogs that are overweight or obese. Its low fat, reduced calorie, high fiber formula helps dogs lose weight while helping them feel full. Prescription Diet® r/d® with Chicken Canine has the highest levels of L-carnitine of any therapeutic weight loss food to help burn fat while increasing lean muscle mass.

Ask our staff if R/D® Canine can help your dog become a healthier weight.
