It can be tough to stay on top of monthly dosing.  Many pet owners do forget or are late in giving doses which leaves the window open for a dog to develop heartworm disease.  Now pet owners have the option of a once-a-year injection given by the veterinarian for heartworm disease protection!  

ONE mosquito bite can give a dog heartworm disease
ONE ProHeart 12 injection ensures ONE FULL YEAR of constant protection

There is evidence that heartworms have developed resistance to the medicine in some oral heartworm preventives.  ProHeart 12 has been shown to be 100% effective against heartworm disease, has a proven safety profile, and has been used for over 19 years in Australia.

Happy February!
​For most people, February brings to mind groundhogs and Cupid’s bows, but for us here at McCauley Animal Clinic/New Melle Animal Hospital, it’s all about Dental Health Month.

If you get a whiff of your dog's or cat's bad breath when you lean in to give him or her a
Valentine’s Day smooch, you may want to visit our clinic. Dogs need regular dental
cleaning to remove plaque and tartar that can cause bad breath.  After all, they don't get their teeth brushed daily like we do!

In between dental cleanings, help keep your dog’s teeth clean and healthy with a daily ORAVET®
dental hygiene chew. ORAVET chews work by removing existing plaque and forms a
protective barrier against the bacteria that leads to plaque, tartar and bad breath. Check
out the ORAVET website, oravet.com  or Facebook page,  to learn more.

In celebration of National Pet Dental Health Month, we're giving a special gift bag to you and your pet if they are scheduled for a dental procedure in February.
