LAST MONTH FOR FLEA PRODUCT SPECIALS

The Summer months not only bring fleas; they also bring heavy competition between the three companies manufacturing the new generation flea control products.  When Frontline announced a discount special this Summer, Advantage was compelled to
match it. Program/Sentinel was not far behind.

Be sure to make the most of this marketing competition while it lasts (until August 31, 1998 for all three companies’ products):

• ADVANTAGE: Buy two boxes of the same size (an 8 month supply) and
  receive ONE FREE APPLICATION (your 9th month free).

Advantage has been our most popular flea control product since it was released in 1996 and most people have seen the commercials for it if they have not used it for themselves. For more information, Bayer (its manufacturer) has set up a highly informative website at www.nofleas.com.

• FRONTLINE: Buy two boxes of any size Frontline (a 6 month supply) and
  receive ONE FREE APPLICATION (your 7th month free).

Frontline was the most recently introduced product of the three and most people had already settled into the use of Advantage and Program. Still, Frontline offers the benefit of tick protection, longer activity (one application can be stretched out as long as three months in dogs), and Frontline is completely water-proof for swimming and bathing.

• PROGRAM: Buy the new six-month program injectable for your cat, and
  receive a $6 mail-in REBATE from the manufacturer.   Buy two boxes of
  Sentinel 5-in-1 heartworm, flea and parasite tablets (a one-year supply) and
  receive a $10 mail-in REBATE.   Buy two boxes of Program Tablets for Dogs
  or Liquid for cats (a one-year supply) and receive a $4 mail-in REBATE.

Program is available as tablets, injectable for cats (one shot lasts six months - no fighting with pills or oral liquid), or in combination with a more complete parasite protection as Sentinel.  Advantage and Frontline are both excellent flea killers but, to prevent the emergence of resistent fleas, it is best to use either of those in combination with Program. Novartis has two excellent web sites up at www.programpet.com/program   and   www.programpet.com/sentinel.

MVAMC WELCOMES the
RESCUE ME PET FOUNDATION

Last August we welcomed Perfect Pet Rescue, an organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of homeless dogs in
Los Angeles. An average of five dogs a week have been placed
since that time and we continue to work with them to help dogs in need.

The Rescue Me group, founded by Cindy Stone, works primarily with cats and kittens... and they have certainly been busy this kitten season! After having a doctor here at the hospital give a physical examination to each prospective cat adoptee, Rescue Me also sees
to it that any needed medical care is provided and starts the cats or
kittens on their vaccinations. They also provide foster homes for some
of the cats and kittens until a permanent loving home can be found.

If you would like to:

• Adopt a new pet
   
• Temporarily foster a homeless animal
   
• Make a tax deductible donation

... then please email us using the link below.

New product of the month:
PREFERENCE STAIN & ODOR REMOVER^™

Preference instantly removes pet stains and odors from carpets, upholstery and clothing on contact! According to Vibrac, Inc., the maker of the product, Preference also removes iodine, blood, grass, makeup, shoe polish, oil and grease stains. Unlike other products, Preference is not enzyme-based, which could allow an odor to linger... prompting another pet “accident!”

Our staff has found this new product remarkable and we invite you to try it.

$8.50 for a 16-ounce bottle.  ($7.50 with coupon!)

Perfect when there’s a puppy in the house!

Print and cut out for $1.00 off!
