Hawaii Animal Shelters are in desperate need.  So many animals have been lost, abandoned or displaced due to the destructive volcanic activity. Below are links to organizations that are in need of financial assistance.  Thank you for your consideration.

Pana'ewa Rainforest Zoo and Gardens

There was a report on the news recently about a local dog who tested positive for heartworms even though he was on preventative.  There is a strain of resistant heartworms.  It is very uncommon.  We have not seen any cases.  Most heartworms are still sensitive to the preventatives.  

We recommend to give monthly heartworm preventative year round.  For added protection, you can use mosquito repellant.  Here are a couple that are available:

Vectra 3D

K9 Advantix 2
