FROM OUR VETS: Spring is springing already?
Early Spring in MN!

Dr. Baillie was featured on KARE 11 TV last week talking about
wildly early warm temperatures this year... 75 degrees before St. Patrick's
Day!... and the Baillie family golden retriever Joso has been doing his own
demonstration. Joso is very light-colored, and he's been showing wood
ticks and deer ticks frequently over the last few weeks as he comes in from the
yard. As the vet's dog, Joso is protected year round, and that is what we
advise -- all parasite control should be used twelve months of the year for
both dogs and cats. We have Frontline Plus in stock, as well as
Heartguard for heartworm/intestinal worm protection. There has been a
significant increase in other tick borne diseases (Anaplasmosis and Ehrlichia)
in the last few months, and we are recommending to clients to get started
now to protect your companion animals from these pests.
