February is Dental Month

February is dental month at Suburban Animal Clinic! 70 to 80% of all dogs and cats have some form of dental disease.

Proper dental care is critical in maintaining your pet's overall health. Too often, pet owners overlook the need for dental care for their pets. Untreated dental disease can cause serious problems. In February, we will continue to promote Pet Dental Health by offering $15 off your pet's dental cleaning.

Call 614-276-5479 to book this offer, limited spaces are available.

For a look at a dental procedure you can watch our youtube video. And check out our blog post with pictures during a dental cleaning with healthier teeth and not so healthy teeth.

Working Dogs - Bed Bug Finder

Orkin rated Columbus as 5th in its list of top bed bug cities. One of the ways to find these pests is by using the help of the dog's keen sense of smell. Some of our patients here at SAC are bed bug dogs and we asked their owners to give us a little more information on what they do and how.

In the spring of 2011, Annie LaBarre and Kelly Robbins founded Four Paws K-9 Detection, with a beagle named Marley. Today, they have four beagles on the job: Marley, Sprout, Cici and Chaco. All of the dogs, except Chaco, were from animal shelters.

The dogs have the amazing ability to differentiate live bed bugs and eggs from dead bed bugs, fecal material and shed skins.

To maintain their dogs' keen detection skills, Annie and Kelly use live bed bugs in their daily training sessions. The teams need to be worked everyday, at least twice a day! For more information on the dogs visit our blog post and the Four Paws K-9 Detection web-site.

Renew Your Dog License

All dogs in franklin county must have a license. Dog licences must be renewed by January 31st to avoid the late fee. More information can be found on the Franklin County Auditor's web-site on licensing . Check out our blog post for links to the surrounding counties' dog licensing information.

Thank you all for your patronage through 2016. We realize the highest compliment you can give us is to refer your family and friends to Suburban Animal Clinic.

Sincerely,

Doctors and Staff
