Older Dogs Need a Little Help to get through Cold Weather
Cold weather is ruff, er, rough on older dogs, but they don't have to be miserable. Your dog's health in later years is not entirely in your control, but you can have a real impact on a pet's attitude by keeping him warm, comfortable and keeping his mind and body gently active.

New Heartworm Testing Recommendations
The American Heartworm Society recently strengthened its recommendations for testing to a YEARLY blood test for this preventable disease. In line with this recommendation the Doctors of West Ridge Animal Hospital will require a yearly test in order to dispense the monthly chewable preventative. This inexpensive yearly test assures that missed doses have not resulted in adult worm infection and possible severe reactions. If your pet is infected with heartworms and is continuing to receive a monthly chewable preventative, the heartworms could develop a resistance to the medications required to cure your pet of this parasite. Contact West Ridge Animal Hospital to verify that your pet is current on their recommended yearly heartworm screening. Read the story linked below to learn how this deadly parasite affect one of our own staff member's families and her experience with diagnosis and treatment.
