Spring's Here

Spring has arrived and early spring plants aren’t the only things popping up.  We’ve noticed the tick population is on the rise.  Be sure you’ve started your pet on a tick prevention program.  We have a number of products available at the clinic.

Also be sure to have your pet tested for heartworm and started on heartworm prevention no later than May 1.  Our standard test is a simple blood test that now screens for heartworm and for three tick-borne diseases—lyme disease, Ehrlichia and Anaplasma.  The results are available in minutes.

Spring is also the time most of our clients arrange for their pets’ annual physical exams and vaccinations.  Be sure to call early for an appointment.  Equine owners should have received a form from us by now that must be filled out with your animals’ vaccination requirements.  These forms are extremely helpful to the doctors, so please have them ready.  A reminder also that Coggins tests are good for two years in Massachusetts.  However, if you’re showing your horse out of state, you will need to check that state’s requirements.
