You may be used to hearing some strange noises coming from your pet. From moans to groans to snorts to sniffles, most pet owners have heard it all. When it comes to reverse sneezing in dogs, though, Summeridge Animal Clinic knows that many of our animal-loving friends are a little taken aback. 

Fleas and ticks are the small bugs that cause humans and animals big problems. These parasites carry serious zoonotic diseases that can be transmitted to your human family members from your furry loved ones. They’re commonly passed between pets and people in the home and yard. Since we want to cuddle our pets, it’s particularly important that they are on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm control. 

Summeridge Animal Clinic is here with some solutions to curb the critters lurking on your pet’s skin. We want you to bond with your pet through affection and attention, and this assurance against pests will keep everyone safe.

Pets are no strangers to a myraid of diseases, many of which can affect humans, too. In addition to medical conditions like zoonotic diseases, cancer, and kidney disease, hypertension – or high blood pressure – in cats is quite common.

Unlike in humans, however, hypertension in cats isn’t a result of stress. Instead, medical issues such as thyroid, kidney, and heart disease are the most common culprits.
