🐦 Birdie: PREPARING. 😤

👩🏻‍⚕️ Dr. G: For what?

🐦 Birdie: The Fourth of July. 🎆

👩🏻‍⚕️ Dr. G: It’s still days away…

🐦 Birdie: That’s why it’s called pre-paring. 😌

🐶 Minnow (off screen): (muffled) Yummy… 😋

🐦 Birdie: Minnow… are you eating my emergency snack? 😳

🐶 Minnow (off screen): (muffled) Maybe… 🤭

🐦 Birdie: …Now we need emergency emergency snacks. 😑

🐶 Minnow (off screen): (muffled) And more gumbo. 🍲

🐦 Birdie: Definitely more emergency gumbo. 😮‍💨

🎆 Fireworks are coming! Now is the perfect time to prepare if your pet gets anxious. Refill medications 💊, make sure ID tags and microchip information are up to date 🏷️, and set up a quiet, safe place for them before the first boom. 🏡

❤️ Are you Team Birdie (prepared for everything) or Team Minnow (prepared to eat the emergency supplies)? 😆

🐾 🐾🐾❤️We’re Updating Our Parasite Prevention Recommendations❤️🐾🐾🐾

At Animal Care Center at Stonebridge Ranch, we continually review the latest research and disease trends to make sure we’re recommending the best protection for your pets.

Because of:
🦟 Increasing heartworm resistance to ivermectin in some areas,
🪰 The return of New World screwworm,
🕷️ An especially active tick season,
and the convenience of simplifying protection,

we are transitioning our recommended monthly parasite preventive to Credelio Quattro®.

With one tasty monthly chew, dogs are protected against:
❤️ Heartworm Disease
🕷️ Fleas & ticks
🪱 Roundworms, hookworms, & tapeworms

In addition, the active ingredient in Credelio Quattro is included under the FDA’s emergency authorization for use against New World screwworm larvae, adding another layer of protection should the unexpected occur.

No parasite preventive can prevent a fly from landing on your pet, but effective prevention can help reduce the risk of larvae surviving if exposure occurs.

As always, we’re happy to discuss which parasite preventive is the best fit for your pet’s lifestyle.
