With the beautiful weather, we hope you and your furry friend are out enjoying the sunshine. However, dogs can slip out of collars and cats can sneak through closing doors. It is estimated that 1 in 3 pets will go missing in their lifetime, and without permanent identification, 90% of those lost pets won’t return home. Microchipping gives your pet a permanent identification number that is registered to you, which increases the odds that you will be reunited you with your furry family member. This month, we are pleased to offer Microchipping for only $36.00 . Please call today to schedule an appointment for what may be a life-saving procedure!

We are Runners up on Beast of the Bay featured in the Bay Woof for Best Vet in Peninsula. What an amazing surprise! We are featured on Section 33d. Thank you all for the support!   Now that the rainy season is upon us, mosquito season is also here and lately we have been seeing a lot of mosquitoes in the area. It only takes one mosquito bite to allow the heartworm parasite to enter your dog or cat’s body, eventually maturing into long, thin worms that live and grow in your pet’s heart and surrounding blood vessels. Untreated, the disease leads to significant and deadly damage to the pet’s heart and lungs. The kidneys and liver can also be affected in some cases. We recommend year round heartworm prevention with yearly heartworm test in dogs. For cats, it is recommended they take heartworm prevention if they travel to one of the high risk states mentioned below. Cats have a very low risk in this area we live in.
Heartworm Prevention Awareness Month Special April is designated for Heartworm Awareness. From now until April 30th 2016, we are offering 10% off when you buy a 6 month supply of Trifexis (flea and heartworm preventative) and $20 off the annual heartworm test (no exam required). The annual heartworm test is free when you purchase a 12 month supply of Trifexis along with the 10% off. Elanco also offers a rebate when you buy a 6 month or a 12 month supply of Trifexis. *Offer is only valid to current clients that have had their pet examined within a year. Offer good though 04/30/2016.

This is a rescue organization we have worked with very closely since it's inception 12 years ago. It is the largest fully volunteer based organization saving cats in San Francisco. Below is a link to the poster with details. http://www.givemesheltersf.org/docs/posters/INVITE_POSTER_11X17.pdf  Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving and please be sure to let your guests know to keep any of that rich table food away from your pets. A little from here, a little there and then not so little total and in to emergency for gastrointestinal issues.  And check out our online pharmacy at peninsulaAveVet@gmail.com. The medications come directly from the manufacturers or their legitimate distributors, which assures you that it is the pure product and not expired (issues with many well known online pharmacies for certain products).
