Featured Pet: Sofie

Sofie is a 9 Year old Yellow lab. She lives in Edina with her Mom & Dad, Mimi and Jim.

Greetings!

Spring and summer have arrived. I'm not sure if any of us, including our pets were ready for the 98 degree temps! The golf courses are open, ice is out of the lakes anddocks being put in. And we are probably getting more exercise with our dogs.

Memorial Day came out of nowhere and is gone leaving many of us saying "where is the sun and warm weather".

With the warmer weather means that fleas and ticks are out. I picked up a pet this morning and the owner mentioned that she has found numerous ticks on him and her daughter found one in her bed. Below I have listed topical flea treatments that we recommend for your dog.

We would love to have you follow us on Facebook or Twitter. We are also posting some pictures of our clients (4-legged ones) on social media. We have launched a blog, and we hope you will participate!

Thanks, the Staff at

Topical flea preventatives

Yes, hopefully spring is here and the warm summer days are not far behind. With warmer weather comes those pesky fleas & ticks. We request that your pet be treated with a topical flea preventative starting in spring all the way through our first heavy frost. What treatments are approved?

The following are both recommended/approved and those products that are not: (Sometimes big box warehouse stores offer the recommended products on sale...check the expiration date! Last year my neighbor bought some and ended up with fleas. She discovered that the product was beyond the expiration date! So much for saving money!)

Approved Topical

Frontline Frontline Plus

Advantage K9Advantix

PetArmor Revolution

ProMeris Vectra3D

First Shield Top Spot

Not Approved

Program Sentinel

Capstar (for emergency) Bio Spot

Hartz Spot On

Sentry Pro Trifexis

I just heard of a product called Shoo Tag! It is a tag that you put on the collar that is all natural and will not harm your pet. Some of the reviews are great so you may want to check out their website.

Recently a local TV news program had a feature on dogs getting sick from using Sergeants Gold Flea preventative. Unfortunately this is not the only one that may be harmful to your pet. Check here for more info as to which products are safe for your pet?

helpful hint:

Our 2-legged parents are finally able to work in yards and get flowers planted.

Just a reminder that cocoa bean mulch when ingested can be fatal to me and my 4-legged friends. This mulch is made from cocoa beans ie: chocolate and can be very dangerous to us. Of course we love the smell and therefore we want to eat it.

If you use this mulch, please put it in areas that I cannot get to or better yet, don't temp fate and not put it on your flower beds at all.
