Protect Your Pet’s Heart

Did you know that a pet on Heartworm preventative medication can still get Heartworm disease? According to veterinary cardiologist Dr. Laura DeLellis, if you are like most people and forget to give your pet a dose of preventative medication one month, your pet could be at risk for catching this serious and potentially fatal condition.

Keeping Cool During the Dog Days of Summer

Dogs and cats can suffer from the same problems that people do during the hot days of summer. Overheating, dehydration and heat exhaustion can happen very quickly. Heat stroke is more serious and one of the most common emergencies in the summer months. Without proper precautions, heat stroke can be fatal. Ways to avoid a trip to the ER are quite simple if you plan ahead and think about the things you need and/or should avoid on a hot summer day. Learn more by clicking here.

Blind Penguins Focus on Life Again

Swimming into walls and having trouble catching fish were just two of the main indicators that two Detroit Zoo rockhoppers and a macaroni penguin’s cataracts were affecting their physical and social well-being. Caused by old age – two were more than 20 years old and the other over 30 - the penguins were transported to Michigan Veterinary Specialists where Drs. Dan Lorimer and Ray Morreale performed successful cataract surgery.Detroit News story
