Heartworm treatment drug shortage!
Beckett and Associates recommends year-round heartworm preventative for cats and dogs. The drug that is used to treat heartworm disease in dogs has been at a shortage by the manufacturer making it difficut for veterinarians to obtain. We cannot stress the importance of testing and preventative to keep your pets safe.
Any one of our team members can help you select a product that will best suite your pet.
Sincerely,
Beckett and Associates

*NOW OFFERING* LASER THERAPY*
Sep 29, 2011
Beckett & Associates is proud to offer LASER THERAPY! We have a brand new class IV deep tissue therapy laser. Therapy lasers help to reduce pain, inflammation and healing time. They can be used to treat conditions such as post-surgical pain, otitis, cystitis, gingivitis, sinusitis, wound healing, degenerative joint disease, hip dysplasia, hot spots, lick granulomas, sprains, strains and arthritis. Laser therapy uses a beam of light to deeply penetrate tissue without damaging it. The energy produced by the laser induces a biological response at the cellular level which leads to reduced pain, reduced inflammation and increased healing speed. The light is delivered through a noninvasive hand piece to treat the affected area. Your pet may feel a gentle and soothing warmth. Most treatments take only a matter of minutes. Please ask your veterinarian about the possibility of incorporating laser therapy into your pet's treatment plan.

FDA releases online pet pharmacy brochure
Apr 20, 2010
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) has released a brochure on online pet pharmacies.
The brochure is geared toward pet owners, and urges them to first ask their veterinarian before purchasing pet medications online. The FDA uses the acronym AWARE to remind pet owners how to approach online drug stores. The letters stand for:
A: Ask your veterinarian. Clients are encouraged to discuss online pharmacies with their veterinarian before making any purchases.
W: Watch for red flags. These include sites that do not require a prescription to purchase medications; sites with no physical address listed, and pharmacies that are not based in the United States.
A: Always check for accreditation. The FDA recommends sites that are accredited by Vet-VIPPS (Veterinary-Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites), which was created by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy.
R: Report problems and suspicious online pharmacies. Pet owners can report problems with the drug to the manufacturer or to the FDA directly.
E: Educate yourself about online pharmacies.
The brochure is available for download at the FDA CVM website.
