Local Medical Issues

There are numerous local medical issues that can impact your pet's health and that require your attention over the entire year. For example, heartworm disease, which affects both cats and dogs. Because it's transmitted by mosquitoes, which thrive in our region, it's a serious cause for concern. And in our warm climate, it's a year-round risk. The same is true for flea, tick, and intestinal parasite infestation, each of which is a problem in any season. And finally, skin allergies can be a year-round issue in sunny south Florida. Many pets suffer from skin and ear allergies, the signs of which include scratching, redness in the ears, and "scaly" skin.

We do have a lot of local wildlife, so make sure your dogs are up to date on their rabies, distemper and leptospirosis vaccines. And watch out for those Bufo toads one lick can cause seizures, and even death in small dogs.
