Local Medical Issues
There are numerous medical issues that can impact your pet's health that require your attention over the entire year. For example there's heartworm, which can affect both cats and dogs. Heartworm requires a year-round, once-a-month pill or topical treatment, because heartworm can survive in our region all year. Other concerns are fish-poisoning disease and, in the spring and summer, possible rattlesnake bites and heat stroke. Many pets can suffer from skin and ear allergies, the signs of which include scratching, redness in the ears, and "scaly" skin. Allergies can be a year-round issue, and flea and tick infestation and intestinal parasites can pose a problem in any season.
