It is thunderstorm (and firework) season! Here are some helpful tips to make your pet feel safe and signs you can watch for if despite your best efforts your pet is still distressed. You CANNOT reinforce fear so please comfort your pets in the event that they are stressed.

Do not hesitate to contact your veterinarian to get additional help for your pets. Storms and loud noises are scary for our pets and feeling that sense of panic for months can affect their physical and mental health.

Desensitization and counter-conditioning to storms is best done outside of thunderstorm season. Contact one of our certified positive, science based trainers to help!

Bug Sprays: Toxic for Pets!

As summer bugs come out in full force, we all want to protect ourselves, but bug sprays and repellents can be dangerous to our pets if not used properly!

What to watch out for:

- DEET (in insect repellents): This common ingredient can cause vomiting, drooling, tremors, and seizures in pets.
- Citronella & essential oils: While great for humans, these can cause respiratory issues, skin burns, or digestive upset in pets when ingested or inhaled.
- Pyrethrins (in some sprays): Toxic to cats and can cause lethargy, drooling, or even seizures.

Pet safety tips:

- Keep bug sprays and repellents away from your pets—don’t apply them to their fur or skin.
- Use pet-safe products—always choose repellents specifically labeled as safe for pets.
- Wash your pet if they’ve been exposed to any toxic sprays.
- Avoid outdoor chemicals—and if you must use them, make sure pets are kept inside.

If you think your pet has been exposed to a harmful bug spray or repellent, seek emergency care immediately! We’re here 24/7 to help.

Today is World Pet Memorial Day. It is a day to remember, honor, and celebrate our pets who have passed away.

Here are some ways to observe World Pet Memorial Day:
• Plant a tree or flower in memory of your pet.
• Donate to a local animal shelter.
• Share memories of your pet on social media.
• Create a memorial stone or photo album.
• Volunteer for an animal rescue organization.

Grieving is a healthy, natural response to loss. It may be helpful to know that others have shared this experience; however, the process is unique to each person who has loved and lost a feline friend.

Here are some more resources to help with grief:
