We often recommend Advantage
and Frontline to prevent fleas in cats and
dogs for up to 4 weeks. The active ingredient in Advantage is imidacloprid; the ingredient in Frontline is fipronil. Both are topical solutions that are squeezed from a tube on the back of the neck
for cats and between the shoulder blades for dogs. Advantage kills 98-100 % of your pet's
fleas within 12 hours and also claims to kill flea larvae on furniture
and in your pet's bedding. Advantage is a prescription product and is only sold at veterinary clinics.
Yes, we believe in microchipping. Most animal shelters are now
equipped with chip scanners, making this the most efficient method available for identifying
and reuniting lost pets with their owners. The microchipping procedure is fast, simple, inexpensive,
and no more painful than vaccination. (Think of it as immunizing your pet against homelessness.)
The microchip is so tiny that it is inserted through a hypodermic needle. Any pet can have the
microchip...dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, ferrets, etc. Call us for an appointment,
(503)234-9229, to insert a microchip; this is one "bug" that won't bite your pet (you could
call it the "love bug").
We recommend pet health and accident insurance
provided by
Veterinary Pet Insurance Company (VPI),
Embrace, or
Pet's Best.
