Pet Care Tips
Winter
Don't forget about feet care for your pets during the winter. Not only can road salt be very irritating to the pads, licking off the road salt can sometimes be toxic, after walks remember to wipe your pets feet off with warm washcloth.
February is National Weight Loss Month. One easy tip to prevent our pets from putting on that "winter weight" is to cut back the amount of food slightly during the winter months, as there activity level is not has high due to in climate weather, they do not need the caloric intake they need during the summer months.

Spring
Heartworm season starts May 15th, make certain to get your dog tested for heartworm disease and pick up your heartworm preventative.
Ticks not only pose a health threat to you, they also pose a serious health risk to your pet. Remember to use a high quality waterproof based flea and tick preventative, such as FrontLine, April through November.
Summer
With the summer comes hot weather, and because of this, pets are
susceptible
to the same problems humans are. Dehydration, sunburn and even heat stroke are some of the conditions to be aware of. Keep your pet hydrated and in a shaded area. Don't forget; never leave your pet in a vehicle.
