Dogs are placed on year-round Heartworm prevention and require annual Heartworm tests.  This is a simple blood test and can be done once the pet has reached 6 months of age. 
See other enclosed information regarding Heartworm disease.

Vaccines Used:  Schering Plough vaccines are the most effective vaccines, as proven through extensive laboratory testing.

Neuter/Spay:  We prefer to spay/neuter when the patient is at least 5-6 months old, as it is in the best interest of the pet.

 Heartworm:  Heartworm disease is on the rise in both cats as well as dogs.  Please read the enclosed information and feel free to ask the veterinarian any questions regarding how the disease can affect your pet.  We STRONGLY suggest heartworm prevention and testing.  We require this for all boarding pets as to protect all animals in our facilities.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your pet’s care, please feel free to speak to any one of your pet’s health care team members.

For medical related issues, please direct questions to Dr. Michelle Brownstein or any other member on the medical staff.  Thank you and we look forward to providing you and your pet long-term quality veterinary care.
