LYME DISEASE

Lyme Disease is a concern in our area, for people and dogs. We recommend using Frontline Plus year-round. For dogs in high-risk areas, we recommend vaccinating your dog against Lyme Disease. Please visit the Lyme Disease Prevention website for more information.

FLEAS, TICKS, & HEARTWORMS

Remember: It is important to continue your pets' Frontline Plus & Interceptor year round for protection against fleas, ticks, and heartworms! If you need a refill, please feel free to contact us.

Summertime is here and that means HOT weather for you and your pets. Remember to keep your pets cool, and have fresh water available at all times!!

MICROCHIPS

Studies show that 1 in 3 pets will be lost. Without ID, 90% of those lost will not return home. Help protect your pet by having him microchipped! WFVH offers microchipping for all of our patients. We use the Home Again microchip. Please visit Home Again or contact us to schedule an appointment to have your pet microchipped.
