Ear Infections

Summertime is the season for frolicking in the yard, swimming, lying out on the deck…and that means getting ear infections could be included on that list! When your dog spends time outside, they can easily develop ear infections, either from pollen allergies, or from damp ears after swimming. It’s important to check your dog’s ears on a regular basis, especially in the summer, so that you can catch these problems and get veterinary care as quickly as possible. 

Camping with Your Dog

Are you taking your dog with you on a family camping trip this summer? Don’t forget to be prepared for pet care! It’s important that your pet is up-to-date on parasite prevention and has plenty of food and fresh, filtered or sanitized water to drink at the campground. Also, be prepared for safety by ensuring that your campground of choice allows dogs to visit, and that your dog has a place to sleep, preferably inside the tent where they won’t be bitten by insects or pestered by wild animals! Be safe, and the trip will be that much more fun!
