Hello again,
For many of our pet families the holidays were a time of celebration and welcoming a new friend. It is always a great time to receive a new 4 legged friend into the household and begin their pathway to a healthy life. We have recognized many of our pet families taking great steps to ensure their new pet, whether it is an kitten/puppy or an adopted adult, is safe if the house. Chocolate, decorations and such are hard to avoid over the holidays. Now those things are put up it is time to focus on the internal health.

We see Parvoenteritis (Parvo) any time of the year especially in puppies, but the spring is particularly a bad time to year to contract this disease. That is why it is so important to have your pets health exam and vaccination evaluation now. Vaccinations are not as routine as they would seem. Vaccinations take time to protect and must be given at very specific timing. We feel strongly that the best vaccination brand and type must be chosen to ensure the safety of the biologic itself. The best vaccinations are made and cared for under very strict standards. We (the medial staff) have studied the very latest research and development concerning vaccinations for cats and dogs (and yes, there is difference). Your pets vaccinations should be determined based upon an evaluation of his/her specific risks and needs. All pets are not the same and regions of the country are do not carry the same risks of disease.
