Easter Lilies can be a beautiful decoration in the spring season, but did you know that all parts of the lily plant are considered toxic and dangerous to your cat? If ingested, it can cause severe kidney damage and even death. Please be advised that cat owners should remove lilies out of reach of your cat and consider an alternative to the lily such as Easter Orchids and Easter Daisies. 

Did you know that heartworm, fleas, ticks and other parasites could be prevented?  These pesky critters can wreck havoc on your pet's body.... and…make their lives miserable.  We recommend simple screenings and year round prevention for Heartworm Disease, which can often be fatal, to alleviate your pet from suffering.

Job Shadow

Joanna Timbrook did a job shadow at Pekin Veterinary Clinic not long ago. We were happy to have her with us!

Valued Clients

Pekin Veterinary Clinic would like to express our deepest sympathy to Victoria Olsen at the loss of her precious Macy.

Did you know that fleas can survive in the cold winter weather? We recommend keeping your pet on a year round flea and tick preventative as well as a year round heartworm preventative, to ensure that your pet remains happy and healthy throughout the entire year.

Is your pet starting to get a little grey around the muzzle? As your pet ages, it is important to maintain optimum health for their quality of life. Senior pets need more extensive risk assessment visitations. Teeth should be brushed daily, exercise routines are important and remember obesity is the number one health problem in older dogs. With routine blood and urine analysis and more frequent risk assessment exams, your pet will live a long and healthy life.
