I know I seem to harp on the subject of heartworms a lot, but it is such an important part of owning a dog! Since I have been trying to rehome my Boxer, Gypsy, I have found that so many people know NOTHING about heartworm disease. I’m not going to get into specifics of what people have said, but it blows my mind away that a pet owner or potential pet owner knows or cares so little about the disease.
If you own a dog or plan on getting one, PLEASE educate yourself on heartworm disease, prevention, and treatment.
You can find great information on heartworms at the site for the American Heartworm Society.

With gas prices and everything else in this country going up, up, up, it’s sad to say that pet care prices are going up as well. Times are hard with everything going up but our paychecks. We know this. But prices are being raised for us as well! As much as we would be able to care for your pets for free or really cheap, this is how we make OUR living and how WE survive.
Please be patient with your pet care providers. Your veterinarians, their staff, your pet sitters, your dog walkers, your groomers, your pet stores….we can’t help the price increases!!
PLEASE!! Do not let the increased prices convince you to not care for your pets at all. Shop around if you need to, find someone willing to work with you or programs that can help.
