DENTAL CLEANING 15% OFF

Pets, like people, need regular dental care and we at Indian Creek Pet Hospital are committed to helping you provide your pet with a long, healthy life. Animals who do not receive dental care are at risk of gingivitis, periodontal disease and subsequent kidney, liver and heart problems. Many times, the first sign owners notice of a dental problem is bad breath in their pet. Unfortunately, by this time, periodontitis is already in its 3rd of four stages! What often goes unnoticed is the preceding inflamed gums, plaque and tartar buildup and the accompanying pain which can cause changes in eating habits and behavior.

Particularly at risk are small dog breeds. Experts say that these breeds are more likely to develop tooth problems because their teeth are often crowded into small mouths. This can create a haven for plaque buildup.

We encourage all pet owners to brush their pets teeth and use dental products such as Aquadent, CET chews and Hills Prescription Diet t/d. Having your pet’s teeth professionally cleaned once or twice a year is also highly recommended.

In order to help improve your pet’s dental health, we will be offering our dental cleaning services at a 15% discount during the month of September. A dental cleaning includes pre-anesthetic bloodwork, ultrasonic cleaning, polishing and fluoride treatment and dental x-rays.

Space is limited and available on a first come, first served basis so call today to schedule your pet’s dental cleaning.

Dragon fruit cacti in bloom now in Southwest, Fl.

Dragon fruit cacti in bloom only at night time! In daytime the blossoms are completely closed. The cactus blossom pictures below are made from a time before sunrise until about less than one hour after sunrise. The  dragon fruit flowers normally bloom before 10:00 pm, and they start closing up by daylight.  Sunrise was delayed by approx half an hour due to a nearby hill and due to slightly cloudy sky that early morning. Check out the pictures below that I took from start to finish of a dragon fruit flower blooming.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON MILLION MILE MONDAY
Fort Myers & Naples Harley-Davidsons Join National Effort to Log as Many Miles as Possible in 24-Hour Period

On June 27th, Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.®) members around the world will band together in a singular challenge, to log as many cumulative miles as possible in a 24-hour period.

The local Southwest Florida H.O.G.® Chapter will be leading two rides at Fort Myers Harley- Davidson as part of their Million Mile Monday activities. This year, both H.O.G.® Members and non-H.O.G.® members are encouraged to participate, regardless if they ride a Harley or other brand of motorcycle. Kicking it all off, the dealership will open at 8 a.m. for breakfast.

The all-day ride is to depart from Fort Myers Harley-Davidson at 9 a.m. A shorter ride will be offered, leaving at 1 p.m. Both rides will meet back at the dealership at 6 p.m. where all miles will be logged on the Harley-Davidson website. Snacks and refreshments will be offered.

Naples Harley-Davidson’s H.O.G.® Chapter, Collier County’s Paradise, and other riders can meet at the dealership as early as 7 a.m. for complimentary coffee, donuts and bagels. Their 300-mile ride will officially kick off at 8 a.m. heading to Long Boat Key and stopping for lunch at St. Armands Circle.

After the ride, members will arrive back at the dealership for a BBQ dinner and drawing. Prizes will include one $200 gift card, one $100 gift card, two $50 gift cards and two free oil change vouchers. VIB members will also earn 20 points for participating.

Whether participants ride around the block or all day, solo or as part of a group and wherever in the world they ride, all motorcycle riders are encouraged to participate in Harley-Davidson’s 2011 Million Mile Monday event.

Million Mile Monday, an annual event on the last Monday of June, is open to all H.O.G.® members – riders or passengers. The feat will be recorded by logging into the club’s exclusive members-only website (http://members.hog.com), where participants can register the miles they’ve ridden that day. For more information about H.O.G., please visit http://www.hog.com.

Founded in 1983, the Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.®) is the official riding club of the Harley-Davidson Motor Company. H.O.G.® currently has more than one million members and over 1,400 chapters worldwide, making it the largest factory-sponsored motorcycle organization in the world. H.O.G. rallies are held around the globe to celebrate Harley-Davidson motorcycle riding.

For more information, please call Fort Myers Harley-Davidson, located at 2160 Colonial Boulevard or visit http://www.hdfortmyers.com. For Naples Harley-Davidson, located at 3645 Gateway Lane, please call (239) 594-5504 or visit http://www.hdnaples.com.
