Did you know that May is National Lyme Disease Awareness Month?
Lyme disease can affect both humans and animals and the scary truth is that your pet could easily be infected – all it takes is one bite from an infected tick, which may be so small that you never even know it was there.
Washtenaw County is considered at high risk for Lyme disease and this year is forecasted to have higher than usual tick activity, which means higher levels of disease.
In an effort to prevent the spread of this potentially catastrophic disease, Lane Animal Hospital has partnered with Zoetis, the manufacturer of a lyme vaccination and Simparica, to offer several promotions on the lyme vaccination, tick prevention and diagnostic testing for the month of May.
For dogs who have never had a lyme vaccine, we are offering a special for $150, which includes two doses of the lyme vaccination (spaced 3-4 weeks apart), administered by one of our veterinarians or a licensed veterinary technician. Also included is six months of Simparica (any size), a monthly chewable tablet which is designed to kill ticks before they are able to spread disease, and an additional $10 off coupon for your next purchase of six months of Simparica if used before 12/1/18.
This promo offers a 50-percent discount on the retail value of these items.
For dogs that have already received a lyme vaccination, our special is $125 and includes one dose of the lyme vaccination to protect your pet for 12 months, administered by one of our veterinarians or a licensed veterinary technician.
And like the previous promotion, included is six months of Simparica (any size), a monthly chewable tablet which is designed to kill ticks before they are able to spread disease, and an additional $10 off coupon for your next purchase of six months of Simparica if used before 12/1/18.
This promo offers a 45-peercent discount on the retail value of these items.
Lane Animal Hospital is also offering 10-percent off all other tick-related products and in-house diagnostic testing for the month of May. This includes all tick preventive medications and in-house tick-borne disease testing.
Lastly, throughout the month of May, Lane Animal Hospital will be offering Lyme vaccination clinics during specified office hours.
Please call our office today at 734-475-8696 for priority booking or to schedule an appointment.
Help us protect your pet from the many diseases transmitted by ticks and prevent the spread of Lyme disease.
(Publisher’s note: On Sunday, please read my very personal story about Lyme Disease while you think about how best to ensure your pet’s health.)
