Then we have the solution! 

Introducing ProMeris for Cats and Dogs,  a  brand new type of flea control!

ProMeris is the only product available from a veterinarian that contains the active ingredient Metaflumizone, a new compound proven to control fleas. Metaflumizone has never before been used to control fleas (and ticks in dogs) and research shows they are readily susceptible. Its new mode of action attacks fleas’ nervous system by blocking voltage dependent sodium channels, which results in paralysis and death of the flea.

If the fleas have you scratching your head for a solution, give us a call! ProMeris is in stock, and available to current clients. For more information, check out their website at http://www.promeris.com/

New Vaccine Protocols 

We have been working hard to adjust our vaccine protocols to match the current recommendations by the major veterinary associations. We now recommend a three-year vaccine for Distemper and Parvo after the initial puppy vaccination series, and a three-year vaccine for feline FVRCP after the initial kitten vaccination series.  The reason for the three-year protocol is to avoid possible health risks created by over vaccination, such as vaccine reactions, possible development of autoimmune diseases in dogs, and vaccine-associated fibrosarcomas in cats.

As an alternative to these vaccines, we also offer an annual vaccine blood titer test that can be performed to access your dog or cat’s vaccine antibody status from previous vaccinations. If antibodies are adequate, no vaccination may be necessary for that year. If a specific viral antibody is low, as indicated by the titer, we can vaccinate only for the specific virus.
