How do I care for my guinea pig? - Brooks-Falls Veterinary Hospital
We've got a lot of good husbandry information that we provide to a lot of our clients when we see them, but they'll need an enclosure with proper bedding, proper food, like hay and pellets, and proper cleaning just to make sure that everything goes well.

Are guinea pigs easy to take care of? - Brooks-Falls Veterinary Hospital
They're relatively easy to take care of. I would say that they're easier than a dog or a cat, but they're still a little bit of work.

What should I do if I miss a dose of my dog's heartworm prevention? - Northern Oaks Bird And Animal Hospital
Give it as soon as you remember. Then remember, six months from that time, they need to be tested because it takes six months from the time of a bite to show active infection.

Treating mosquitoes by keeping your yard free of mosquitoes, standing water, or anything that helps prevent mosquitoes will reduce the risk of heartworm infection.

Are there any holistic or over-the-counter dog heartworm preventatives? - Northern Oaks Bird And Animal Hospital
Absolutely not. There are some online claims that there can be preventatives or treatments. There's even a Guinness remedy out there, but those are absolutely not effective.

Does my dog still need a heartworm test if they are on prevention? - Northern Oaks Bird And Animal Hospital
They do because there are cases, like any medication, where there's a breakthrough infection.
