It is estimated that currently over 1 million dogs living in the United States are infected with heartworms.
Don't let your best friend be a statistic.  A simple blood parasite screening will check to see if your pet has heartworm disease, lyme disease, and two other tick borne diseases. Heartworm disease is preventable by giving your pet a special treat, once a month. Prevention is easy, treatment is NOT. Heartworm disease is a fatal disease if not treated. Treatment is expensive and risky. One bite from an infected mosquito is all it takes to infect your best friend. Call us today so we can get your dog running on the heartworm free track.  All dogs must test negative before starting heartworm prevention.

Pet Internet Pharmacies, what you should know before you order.
Dont be misled by internet resellers!! Will they stand behind their product? Counterfeit and adulterated internet medications are on the rise!! We have all seen the TV advertisements for Internet Pet Pharmacies -  they promote the convenience of at home shopping with big savings, but are they a wise choice for you and your cherished pet?
While most internet pharmacies are trustworthy, some have questionable ethics. Some of the top internet pharmacies have been fined in several states. One way to check the reputation of an internet pharmacy is by looking for the VIPPS Seal of Approval. VIPPS stands for Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites. VIPPS is a service of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (www.nabp.net). Their seal of approval identifies those internet pharmacies that are appropriately licensed to practice pharmacy via the internet.
Here at Valley Lakes Veterinary Clinic our pharmacy is a vital and integral part of our practice. It provides our clients and their cherished pets with the latest technology, convenience, and the right medications, all at a competitive price with a manufacturers guarantee.
