Keeping our feline friend's optimal body condition is equally important as our canines. Consult the chart below to assess your kitty's body condition. Puzzle games, play, food cubes and outdoor exercise on a harness and leash can help maintain correct weight.

Spring is a great time to assess your pet's body condition score and get outside for some spring exercise! Dog body condition scoring allows you to assess the amount of fat your dog is carrying, it is easy to do at home without scales, and can identify problems in overweight dogs before the scales show a big change.

Important message from Dr. Hawksworth We have read the USA Today article and received calls regarding the safety of Seresto flea and tick collars. While we are concerned about the issues discussed in the article, it is important to remember there has been no established link between death and the exposure to the active ingredients contained in Seresto. The most common reaction that we have experienced in our hospital, is redness, irritation, and mild hair loss at the site of ...collar contact. Since its initial approval in 2012, more than 25 million Seresto collars have protected dogs and cats in the U.S. from fleas and ticks. We continue to confidently recommend Seresto collars as effective flea and tick control. It is important to remember that we live in a high Lyme disease region and our tick burden is increasing every year. Our priority is protecting your pet from tick borne diseases such as Lyme, Ehrlichia and Anaplasma, all of which can be severe and impact your pet’s quality of life. However, we are very much concerned about counterfeit collars that are being sold as Seresto on Amazon and other sites. As with many counterfeit products, quality control and related product safety can be severely compromised. We advise caution in choosing your source. It is always best to purchase them from an authorized retailer like your veterinarian, as we are fully backed by the manufacturer. We will share more information about Seresto collars as the USA article unfolds and will keep you updated. Thank you for your continued trust. See more
