Grant Avenue Pet Hospital

One of the special guest speakers at the Grant Beach Neighborhood's 3rd annual pet show was Rund, Dean, DVM - Grant Avenue Pet Hospital. He shared some very important information with us.

Parvo--- How important is it to vaccinate your puppy?
CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT !!
Dr. Rund explained that even if you keep your puppy home and away from other dogs that does NOT protect them against getting Parvo. Parvo is highly contagious and can be tracked home to your puppy on even your shoes or your company's shoes!!  Don't run the risk of your precious puppy dying a horrible death that is easily preventable.

If you need to ask some Parvo questions or have your puppy vaccinated contact Dr. Rund at the address or phone number below.

Fleas and Ticks--- Dr. Rund had a wealth of information of this subject as well.  He agrees that the over the counter stuff like Hartz, simply does not do a thorough job at protecting your pet and your family from fleas and ticks.  He told us about a pump spray on product available at his office that is very effective and also more cost effective then the typical monthly flea treatments. That peaked my interest... I plan to stop by his office and get some.

All of us in the Grant Beach Neighborhood would like to thank Dr. Dean Rund, DVM for taking his time and energy to be one of our special guest speakers at the Grant Beach Neighborhood's 3rd annual pet show.  We took time to answer questions even.  We sincerely appreciate his help!!  By the way, I will be going to his clinic to get some of that flea pump stuff...  Will let you know later here if I like it!!

The Grant Beach Neighborhood Betterment Association is a group of citizens working together to maintain and improve the quality of living in our area. We meet monthly on a regular basis to address neighborhood concerns, and encourage residents to start smaller neighborhood watch groups in their block. We believe that people should actively participate as citizens in a democracy and as neighbors in in a community. We are a group of citizens interested in working together to maintain and improve the living quality of our neighborhood, motivate the city to address our concerns, be a spawning ground for neighborhood watch programs and build a sense of community among us. Working together, there is little that cannot be done, working apart there is little that can be done.
