What's Happening at Comer Vet?
August is National Immunization Awareness Month!
You are probably familiar with vaccines like those to protect against rabies, distemper, feline leukemia, and other core shots given to puppies and kittens and boostered throughout their lifetimes. This month, the Comer Vet team is highlighting the importance of vaccines in our pets’ lives. If your pet receives ANY vaccine from Comer Vet between Aug. 1 and 31, you’ll be entered to win a basket full of pet supplies and treats!
Please note that not all injectables are vaccines. Check with a member of our staff if you have questions about eligibility!
So, You Want to Board Your Pet ...
Comer Veterinary Hospital welcomed a new next-door neighbor on July 1. Comer Pet Lodge & Spa, a sister company to both the small animal clinic and Custom Livestock Solutions, just opened its doors to cat and dog boarders, daycare guests, and grooming clients.
“Comer Pet Lodge & Spa is a place that I hope when you walk in, you feel like you’re walking into your house and that your animals feel that way as well,” says Cheyenne Clark, former vet assistant at Comer Vet and hospitality lead at the Lodge.
Hot in Here: How Temperature Affects Pet Reptiles and Amphibians
When it comes to caring for exotic pets like reptiles and amphibians, habitat settings are key to ensuring their wellbeing and positive health status. But picking the right settings for each pet can be finicky, says Dr. Preston Russell, DVM.
“There are so many reptile species and amphibian species out there that require vastly different environments,” Russell says. “You have some reptiles that are tropical, so they need not necessarily a higher temperature, but a more steady temperature and also humidity. Then you have the desert dwellers that require no humidity, but super-high temperatures for basking and things like that.”
