Now that summer is finally here, you and your pet can spend more time outdoors enjoying all that the season has to offer. Like the other three seasons, summer presents unique safety challenges for our companion animals. The good news is that you can enjoy a wonderful summer with your pet by taking a few simple precautions recommended by our Adair County Veterinary Clinic veterinarians.

The heartworm parasite presents a serious and sometimes fatal threat to companion animals. Unfortunately, it is easy for your pet to pick up and difficult to treat in dogs. There is no heartworm treatment for cats.

Our recent winter is one we're looking forward to leaving behind,  and it officially ends this month. As you look forward to spring, the Adair County Veterinary Clinic veterinary team encourages you to take a few minutes to consider seasonal hazards from your pet’s perspective.
