 We have had an unusual and unacceptable number of dogs test positive for heartworm disease while taking oral heartworm preventives.  Research has now provided us an answer as to why we are experiencing this problem.  We are now recommending that your pets use either Advantage Multi or the ProHeart 6 Injection for heartworm prevention.  For your pet’s safety, please contact our office for your doctor’s specific recommendation for your pet.

During the month of February, we will be taking photos (with your permission) of your pet’s smile.  The photos will be posted on our website throughout the month and a winner will be chosen when the month ends in each of the following categories:

                                                            Best Doggie Smile 

                                                            Best Kitty Smile

                                                            Most Improved Smile (before & after cleaning)

Each of the winners will be awarded a basket of oral care products to promote continued dental health.

We now have a non-pharmaceutical option for pain management.  The Companion Therapy Laser System can provide immediate results without any dangerous side effects.  This FDA approved, deep penetrating, light allows relief of pain through the release of endorphins and stimulates the injured cells to heal at a faster rate.  We are currently using laser therapy to treat arthritis, hip dysplasia, post surgical sites, otitis (ear infections), degenerative joint disease, cystitis, skin conditions, burns as well as many other illnesses.

Having researched the top selling pet health insurances, it is the opinion of the doctors of Eads Animal Hospital that Purina Care offers the best overall benefits to their clients and patients.  It comes from the trusted name of Purina with over 80 years of understanding pets and the people who love them.  It allows pet owners to budget pet care costs rather than having to spend large amounts once or twice a year.  It covers routine exams, vaccinations, flea/tick/heartworm preventives as well as unexpected costs due to illness or injury.  It is our hope that pet health insurance will allow all pets to receive the highest level of care.  For more information about Purina Care Pet Health Insurance, go to www.purinacare.com.
