We have finished our zoonotic disease discussions with 4 more diseases that you can catch from your pets. We were planning on finishing our discussion with rabies in the next post, however after the death of a local dog to rabies we have decided to include that topic with this post.Â

FLEAS – Everyone has heard of fleas and the trouble they can cause. It just takes one tiny trouble maker to set up camp on your pet and in your home to bring on itching, hair loss etc. These little jumping parasites can also cause other concerning issues that may not be as well known [...]
Zoonosis – What diseases can I get from my pets? Part 1 of 4
October 8, 2011 – 3:52 pm
A disease that can be infectious to both people and animals is called a zoonosis. Many of these diseases can be seen in our pets and are routinely prevented by your veterinarian. Your pet can also transmit parasites to you as well, which may not carry a disease that can be contracted by a human, [...]
Heat Exhaustion/Stroke in Dogs

Heat Exhaustion/Stroke in Dogs
During these hot summer months it is very easy for dogs to overheat. Humidity plays an important role in this because dogs are not equipped well to handle high heat. They rely on sweat glands in their nose and the pads on their feet along with panting to release excess heat. This [...]

4th Annual Bow Wow Beach Birthday Bash!
This year, the majority of funds raised through The Volunteers of BowWow Beach will go toward the new fountains to be installed at the park. These fountains will aerate the lake and help ensure the cleanliness of the water by virtually eliminating the need to treat the water. The [...]
Why You Should Avoid 1-800 and Online Pharmacies
April 29, 2011 – 6:55 pm
Dear Friends,
Many pet owners use online pet pharmacies as a source for medications that are cheaper and easier to obtain than through your local veterinarian. A recent article from the Food and Drug Administration states that some of the companies you deal with are breaking federal and state laws. Some sell outdated, counterfeit, mislabeled or [...]
A Pet Epidemic!
March 17, 2011 – 5:51 pm
There seems to be an epidemic in the pet world and it is not an infectious disease. This condition is curable, preventable and if unchecked, will lead to increased health risks. It goes by the name of big boned, chubby, plump, round, big eater, obese and casting a large shadow. Fat pets are everywhere. According to [...]
How to keep your pet YOUR pet?
January 26, 2011 – 4:30 pm
The easiest way to positively identify your pet as “yours and only yours” is to have a microchip inserted into them. The procedure is fast, just like a vaccination; permanent, designed not to migrate and affordable to all owners. At Primary Pet Care, the cost is $24.99 (with a $15 visit). Each individual microchip has [...]
Bow Wow Beach closed for the winter…
December 7, 2010 – 8:52 pm
As of 12/6/10, Bow Wow Beach is closed for the season. The lake makes the park too dangerous to keep open during winter/freezing months. The park usually opens in the first couple weeks in March. Have a fantastic winter! We’ll see you after the thaw!
