Introducing our New Groomer!
Seresto Flea and Tick Collar
Seresto- Truly unique technology for your cat.
Seresto® is a unique polymer matrix collar that offers a continuous supply of two active ingredients: imidacloprid and flumethrin for effective 8-month protection against fleas and ticks. That’s one convenient, non-greasy, odorless flea and tick collar instead of 8 monthly treatments.
The active ingredients are stored within the collar. They are released in low concentrations and are distributed over the pet’s hair and skin surface for 8 months. As active ingredients wear off over time, the Seresto® flea collar for cats continuously replenishes the skin and hair coat with a new supply of active ingredients. Fleas and ticks are killed through contact with the active ingredients – no biting required.

It’s Dental Health Month!
In celebration of National Pet Dental Health Month,
here are a few fun facts about your pet’s mouth!
- Dogs and cats have a full set of baby teeth that are replaced with adult teeth, just like humans!
- Dogs have 42 permanent adult teeth; cats have 30.
- Periodontal disease (teeth/gums) is the most common disease seen in adult dogs and cats.
- Providing your pet with good dental hygiene can add 2-4 years to its life!
- Contrary to what you’ve heard, a dog’s mouth is NOT cleaner than a human’s mouth.
- Periodontal disease causes inflammation and infection that can damage other organs including the heart, liver, and kidneys.
- The most common sign of periodontal disease is bad breath, or halitosis (aka dog breath).
- Most pets will not stop eating even when severe periodontal disease is present, so that isn’t a reliable sign.
- Sneezing and nasal discharge can be a sign of a tooth infection.
- Proper dental cleaning requires general anesthesia in pets.
- For good dental health, your pet’s teeth should be brushed daily.
- Approximately 80% of dogs and cats will have some form of dental disease by age three.
- Veterinary dentists perform many of the same procedures as human dentists, including root canals and crowns!
