| I'm a bit fuzzy about the news. Please fill me in on what's happening. |

| FLEAS & TICKS!!! All through the Winter we had a huge flea outbreak and are still dealing with it. The problem has worsened as the warm and humid weather developed. Ideal flea conditions are 80 degrees F and 80% humidity. Can you say St. Louis? The University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine and Washington University have a cooperative research project on tick borne diseases. There has been a HUGE increase in ticks and tick transmitted diseases in people and animals in the past decade. This is due in large part to the increase in wildlife such as deer and turkeys. With the large increase in urban wildlife we are even at risk right here in St. Louis. We are taking a proactive approach and are recommending more tick control than in the past. Also we are currently recommending some different products to better protect our patients. We have also seen numerous failures of the over the counter spot on flea products sold in discount stores, pet stores, grocery stores and from the net. We recommend and sell only top drawer excellent products that carry full manufacturer warranty. We will advise you on correct use of the products and make certain that you are addressing the entire problem properly. Call us NOW at (314)383-4677 and talk to one of our well informed staff members about effective flea and tick control. |
| Canine Influenza H3N8 Vaccine Now In Stock! This vaccine is for use to reduce the severity of canine influenza. It is for use in dogs having a high degree of contact with other dogs. It may not be necessary for use in relatively isolated dogs. Please call our office today at (314) 383-4677 and Dr. Goman will discuss the Pros and Cons with you. You will then be able to make the best decision for the care of your beloved pet. |

| We have lots of beautiful allergens, I mean blooms in St. Louis in the spring and summer. If your pet is itching it may be atopy (an allergy from inhaled pollens or molds) or parasites such as fleas or ticks. For more on fleas and tick see the article farther down this page. Baseball season is now in full swing. (Pun intended). Really warm weather has arrived. Hopefully we will get past all this severe weather soon. Remember to provide your pets and livestock with access to water. Shaded shelter is really necessary as the temperatures increase. Even at the moderate temperatures it can get dangerously hot in a closed car on a sunny day. It is always necessary to feed good quality food to provide the nutrients necessary for optimum health. Call us with any questions. In case of emergency when we are closed please call the Animal Emergency Clinic (314)822-7600 or for horses Equine Medical Associates (636)458-3311. |
| We invite all our clients to join the Normandy Animal Hospital Rewards Program for FREE. It has been designed to give a higher reward percentage than any of the rebate or cash back credit cards. It is just a way of saying "Thank You!" to our clients. It costs nothing to enroll and everyone is eligible. Just ask any one of our friendly staff members and they will be happy to get you enrolled. |
| National Pet Week National Pet Week was in May but this would still be an excellent time to adopt a pet from a rescue group such as Stray Rescue, Open Door Animal Sanctuary, The Humane Society of Missouri, APA, or any one of many others. With the temperate weather it is a great time to do potty training on your new puppy or adult dog. And YES it is possible to train adult dogs. With ingrained previous behaviors it may take a bit longer than with a pup but it can be accomplished. Check with any of the local rescue agencies to see what loving pets they have available. |
