"It's Vacation Time!"
If you are planning to take your pet with you on vacation here are a few "Traveling Tips":
FIRST: Make sure that your pet has no health problems that would interfere with flying, or would flare-up during the trip. Finding a doctor "out in the middle of nowhere" isn't easy.
SECOND: Make sure that you take an ample supply of any vitamins or medications that your pet takes routinely.
THIRD: Check with one of the doctors to make sure that there are no diseases
prevalent in the locale that you are traveling to. Vaccination or preventive medication might be recommended.
FINALLY: If your pet is afraid of flying or
tends towards car sickness or stress we can prescribe medication to help "ease the pain" of traveling
DON'T WANT THE WORRY?
If you think that the trip will be too stressful for your pet, or if you would rather relax and recharge your batteries without the worries,
then leave the 4-legged family members with us.
TIP:
Make your reservations early, especially for the Holidays. Our pet hotel is usually booked during those times and we don't want you
disappointed.
DOCTOR SUPERVISED BOARDING AVAILABLE.

PROBLEM:
 Pet allergies are one of the most common problems that veterinarians treating Southern California. Pets primarily suffer
from itching, biting, scratching and rashes.
ANSWER:
There is a new treatment that can really help!
For many years the only treatment options were expensive desensitization injections (shots given by the pet owner at home) or
cortisone medication that had side effects with long term use.
ATOPICA is a new type of oral medication (pill) that can be administered to dogs (hopefully it will be OK'd for use in cats soon)
to reduce the signs of allergies.
If your dog suffers from allergy symptoms, call 837-7333 and set up an appointment to discuss this exciting, new medication.
