Summer Skin Problems in Dogs!

Georgia summers can be hard on your dog’s skin. ☀️🐶

Allergies, hot spots, fleas, ear infections, and excessive itching can become more common during warm weather.

If your dog is scratching, chewing, licking their paws, losing hair, or showing signs of red or irritated skin, don’t wait.

The sooner skin problems are addressed, the sooner your pet can feel more comfortable. Give us a call if your dog is itching more than usual. 🩺🐾

Spaying and neutering can offer important health and behavioral benefits for pets. 🐶🐱

Benefits may include reduced risk of certain cancers and infections, less roaming, fewer fighting behaviors, decreased marking or spraying, and helping reduce pet overpopulation.

Every pet is different, and the best timing can vary. Our team is happy to help you decide what is best for your furry family member.

Happy World Sea Turtle Day! 🐢🌊

Today is a great reminder that protecting wildlife starts with small choices.

Reducing plastic use, properly disposing of trash and fishing line, and supporting clean-up efforts can help protect sea turtles and other animals who depend on healthy habitats.

Together, we can help protect wildlife on land and at sea. 💚

Patient Spotlight: Sage 🐾

Thank you for being part of the Reese Veterinary Hospital family, Sage! ❤️🐶

Happy Flag Day! 🐾

As we head into the summer season, it’s also a great reminder to keep our pets safe during outdoor celebrations, warm weather, and upcoming holiday activities.

Wishing you, your family, and your furry friends a safe and happy Flag Day from Reese Veterinary Hospital! ❤️🤍💙

Summer Boarding & Vaccine Reminder

Planning a summer trip? Make sure your pet is ready too! ☀️✈️

Many boarding facilities require vaccines and routine testing before your pet’s stay. Requirements may include Rabies, DHLPP/DALPP, Bordetella, and f***l testing.

Don’t wait until the last minute — summer boarding spots fill quickly, and some vaccines need time to become fully effective.

Leptospirosis Awareness

What is Leptospirosis, and does your dog need protection? 🐾

Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that can affect both dogs and people. Dogs may be exposed through contaminated water, mud, soil, wet grass, or wildlife urine.

Because Georgia’s warm, humid climate can increase exposure risks, vaccination is an important part of prevention for many dogs.

Questions about your dog’s vaccine needs? Give us a call at 762-279-8381. 🐶💉

June is Adopt a Cat Month! 🐱❤️

We want to celebrate all the rescue kitties who found their forever homes.

Tell us about your adopted cat in the comments! Share their name, photo, and adoption story.

Whether they rule the house, nap all day, or supervise everything you do, every adopted cat has a story worth celebrating. 🐾

Heartworms are important! Be sure to get tested, we can help you! ❤️

MYTH: My dog is on heartworm preventative, so he doesn't need to be tested.

☀️ Summer Pool Safety ☀️

Pool days can be fun for the whole family — pets included! 🐾💦

As the weather heats up, remember that not every pet is a natural swimmer. Always supervise pets around pools, teach dogs where the steps are, rinse off chlorine or saltwater after swimming, and provide plenty of fresh drinking water.

A little preparation can help keep your furry family members safe while everyone enjoys summer fun! 🐶
