News and Announcements

Heartworm Awareness season includes the spring and summer months.  Heartworm disease is potentially deadly, spread by mosquitoes, and present in all 50 states.  That means All dogs and cats including yours, are at risk.  Regardless of age, breed, size, general health, and whether you consider your dog or cat an indoor or outdoor pet, heartworm disease is a threat.  Even though heartworm disease is agonizing and expensive to treat, it is easy to prevent with convenient, affordable monthly preventatives.  Dr. Scorse recommends a yearly heartworm blood test for dogs and giving preventatives year round to your pets for protection from intestinal parasites as well as heartworms.  And lets not forget our feline friends.  Heartworm disease in the cat is a very real clinical problem with increasing incidence and awareness.  Fortunately, a topical preventative product is available that is easy to apply to your cat.
