TURTLE TIME!
Summer heat is finally behind us! Homeowners, landscapers and golf courses are overseeding. In the high country leaves are turning... This is turtle time! That time of year to pay attention to our turtle and tortoise friends. October is the perfect time to exam these pets and check them for parasites, while they are active, before hibernation.
Does your tortoise weigh enough to survive 4-6 months of sleep? Does your turtle have a vitamin deficiency? Hibernating sick or with a parasite load,or not weighing enough could be deadly!
In addition to a comprehensive physical examination, our patients will receive a complementary fecal test (parasite check). This is a $26 savings. Schedule today for your turtle or tortoise. We offer this discount pricing to all bird and reptiles too-Only during October! It's TurtlleTime!
