We know fireworks can be exciting for us, but they can be overwhelming for our furry friends. The loud noises, flashing lights, and sudden bangs can cause anxiety and stress. Here's how to keep your pets safe and calm:

💥 Create a Safe Space – Keep your pet indoors in a quiet, comfortable room away from windows. Make sure they have their favorite bed or blanket for comfort.

💥 Keep Them Distracted – Play soothing music or leave a TV on to mask the noise outside. Engaging toys or treats can help redirect their attention.

💥 Use Calming Products – There are several pet-safe calming aids like pheromone diffusers, anxiety wraps, or medications that can help reduce stress.

💥 Microchip & ID Tags – In case your pet gets scared and escapes, ensure they have proper identification on them, and consider microchipping for extra peace of mind.

💥 Never Leave Them Alone Outside – Keep your pets indoors during firework displays. The noise can be so frightening that they may run off or injure themselves trying to escape.

🔥 Need Help? We're Here 24/7! 🔥
If your pet experiences an emergency during the festivities, don’t hesitate to reach out! Our emergency line is always available, and we're here to assist you and your pets in any way we can.

Stay safe, stay calm, and let’s keep our furry friends stress-free this New Years! 🐶🐱✨

A female red, ridgeback/Shepard mix adult dog was brought in to us after being found around Royal Rd in Memramcook.
She is unhappy with us and we would really like to get her home.

Please note, we don't handle adoptions of animals who are not claimed. We are looking for her current home.

The holiday season is filled with joy, but it also comes with hidden dangers for our pets! At AVH, we want to remind you to stay vigilant and protect your furry friends from common Christmas hazards:

🍫 Chocolate Toxicity: Chocolate is a holiday favorite, but it’s extremely toxic to pets, especially dogs. Even small amounts can cause serious harm. Keep all chocolate out of reach!

🎁 Foreign Bodies: Pets love to investigate wrapped gifts and decorations, but they may accidentally ingest harmful objects. Be mindful of small items like tinsel, ornaments, and gift ribbons.

🍗 Pancreatitis: Rich holiday foods like turkey, ham, and fatty treats can trigger pancreatitis in pets, leading to severe discomfort and health issues. Stick to their regular diet and avoid sharing human food!

🚨 Emergency Line Available 24/7 🚨 If you suspect your pet has ingested something harmful or is showing signs of illness, don’t wait – our emergency line is always open to help you in any situation!

KONA CUP 2024 🏆

We are THRILLED to announce the results of our high school writing contest: Chirsten Duca’s entry ‘Tell My Story, Death’ was the winner!

The Oxford student will be the recipient of the Kona Cup trophy and $300, and their story will be displayed in our lobby for a year. Our five very-talented honourable mentions include Kylie Alderson, Ray Ortiz, Olivia Flemming, Keira McCormick and Karl Headge. They’ll each receive a $40 gift card for Coles/Chapters.

Finally, we want to extend our thanks to Kate McMillan, a Grade 9 English teacher at Springhill High School. Her efforts encouraging students to submit to the contest more than doubled the number of entries, so well done! 😊🎉
