Pet FAQ

I've noticed small, white segmented worms in my dog's stool. What are these? Your dog has tapeworms. Tapeworms are a parasite that lives in your dog's intestines. Fleas that are ingested by your dog spread these worms. Over time they rob your pet of important nutrition so its important to have your dog treated. Flea control is important to prevent your pet from reinfestation.

Winter Pet Tips

Winter Pet Tips



When the temperature drops this winter, please consider the health and comfort of your pet.

A dry, elevated dog house should be provided. The house should be small enough to be warm from the dog's body heat, but large enough for the dog to stand and turn around. Insulation, including a door flap, blankets, carpeting, towels and facing the house away from the wind will help keep the house warm.

Staying warm requires extra calories so be sure that your pet is being fed properly.

Make sure that your pet has fresh and non-frozen water at all times.

When the temperature drops below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, it is best to bring the dog or cat indoors. Short hair dogs, kittens, and puppies should be kept indoors at 40 degrees or less.

Antifreeze can kill your pet. Take necessary precautions to avoid exposure.

Keep your pet's coat well groomed during the winter. Hair that is matted will not properly protect your pet from the cold.

Cats sometimes nap on warm car engines. Check by knocking on the hood and honking the horn before starting your car.

Your dog should be kept on heartworm preventative the year round.

Contact your local veterinarian for addition information about preparing your pet for winter.
