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.
Summer is here and as we go outside and get more active with our pets injuries can occur. Be
ready with one of our well stocked emergency kits. For a complete listing of contents see our deals
page.
They are currently on sale. Call 314-383-4677 today for all the details.
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

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.
