Dr. Weiner was busy at the Ultrasound machine yesterday.

Kitten Massage Therapy

Bailey and Salem. Relaxing at the office.

During the time he spent in Washington, Teddy Roosevelt’s dog, Pete, snapped at cabinet members, nipped the leg of a naval officer and caused an international incident when he ripped the pants of Jules Jusserand, the French ambassador. Has your dog embarrassed you lately?

 

We would like to remind you to never leave your pet alone in a car during hot weather. Even if parked in the shade with a window open, temperatures can quickly soar to 120 degrees. This type of heat can result in heatstroke and severely harm your pet. Signs of heatstroke include panting heavily, staring, anxious expression, high fever, rapid heartbeat, vomiting, and collapse. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your pet.  Bring them inside where it is cool and be sure to provide access to plenty of fresh, clean water.  

Pet of the Month

Cambridge Veterinary Care is proud to honor Toby as our May Pet of the Month! Toby survived pancreatitis, lived with bladder stones, and ate through a tube for weeks. Toby came in two weeks ago and is doing just fine!

 

Spring is the perfect time to play with your pet outdoors…but before you grab that Frisbee and dog to go to the park, talk to us about annual examinations, vaccinations and heartworm preventatives. Be sure you also have your pet on a flea and tick preventative as well. Cambridge Veterinary Care recommends Vectra 3D for flea and tick control. Not only does Vectra 3D kill all adult fleas and ticks, it also kills mosquitoes, mites, lice and sand flies! Schedule your pet for their annual vaccinations, yearly heartworm check so that you two can have a great spring season.

Happy Mother's Day!

We would like to wish a Happy Mother's Day weekend to all the pet mommies of fur babies and other pets! We hope you have good memories on Sunday, May 8th and that you do something special with or for your pet that day. Have a great Mother's Day everyone!

 

This week is Be Kind to Animals Week!

Join the event that’s been celebrated every year since 1915 -- American Humane Association’s Be Kind to Animals Week. In this annual tradition, we commemorate the role animals play in our lives, promote ways to continue to treat them humanely, and encourage others, especially children, to do the same. While Be Kind to Animals Week is celebrated only once a year, we should strive to always be kind to animals every day. What is the kindest thing you've done for your pet today?

 

Pets & Flowers

We would like to remind you that there are many toxic plants and flowers that begin to show up in the spring. Common poisonous flowers include lilies, azaleas, hydrangeas, hemlock, rhododendrons, gladiolus, oleander and hibiscus…all causing vomiting, diarrhea and sometimes death if ingested in large enough quantities. Remove all plants where pets roam unsupervised and, if decorating the inside of your home, please consider using pet-friendly silk flowers instead.
