Hello everyone,
Sorry I forgot to Blog last week. My daughter Rachel's birthday is July 3, and our youngest, Therese, her birthday is July 4, same as my wife, Kelly, so we were birthday central last week.
It is fun to take some time to be with family and enjoy their enthusiasm and zest for life.
We can sometimes forget that... but isn't that partly why we have pets? Because we enjoy them and their enthusiasm for the little things - that essential 5 minute nap, or if you're a cat, the 12 hr nap. :-)
One of our representatives brought the web site dogsandticks.com to my attention.
It is very helpful. If you have questions about how to deal with ticks and whether your dog (cats don't usually let ticks get a bite- they groom them off too quickly) is at risk for any tick related disease, this is a good place to start.
Also, if your dog has not had his or her heartworm test this year, our new test also checks for Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted fever - two of the most common tick diseases we see here. And there is no additional charge for this extra detection. We will let you know at the end of the year what the 'disease rate' is that you have.
Have a great weekend.
