Thanksgiving Home & Safety Tips for Pets 🐾🍂

Thanksgiving brings joy, laughter, and celebration — but all that activity can sometimes be overwhelming for our pets. A few simple precautions can help keep them safe and stress-free this holiday weekend.

🌻 Pet-Safe Décor
Festive centerpieces, candles, and cornucopias look beautiful but can pose risks to curious pets. Avoid lit candles, small decorative pieces, and toxic plants such as amaryllis or hydrangeas. Opt for flameless candles and pet-friendly decorations instead.

🚪 Watch the Doors
With guests coming and going, pets may slip out unnoticed. Make sure your pet is wearing identification. Consider keeping them in a secure room during busy arrival times to prevent escapes.

😺 Create a Quiet Space
The excitement of visitors, music, and noise can be stressful for some pets. Set up a cozy area with their bed, toys, and soft music where they can relax away from the commotion.

🐶 Keep Pets Included (Safely!)
Give your pet attention and exercise before the festivities begin — a tired pet is a happy pet! A walk, playtime, or some cuddle time helps them feel part of the celebration while staying calm and content.

If your pet becomes ill, eats something unsafe, or experiences an emergency over the holiday, Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic is open throughout Thanksgiving weekend.

📍 Open Friday, October 10th at 6 PM until Tuesday, October 14th at 6 AM

Thanksgiving Food Safety for Pets 🍁🦃

Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, and feasting — but it’s also a time to be extra mindful of our furry family members! While those tempting aromas and leftovers might make your pets curious, many holiday foods can be dangerous for them.

🍗 Turkey Troubles
Turkey might be the highlight of your dinner table, but it’s not a safe choice for pets. Turkey skin, gravy, and bones can cause stomach upset, choking, or intestinal blockages. Rich, fatty foods can also lead to painful pancreatitis.

🥔 Toxic Side Dishes
Many Thanksgiving favourites — like stuffing, casseroles, and seasoned veggies — contain ingredients such as onions, garlic, and certain spices that are toxic to dogs and cats. Keep food prep areas clear and ensure pets can’t sneak a snack from countertops or the table.

🥧 No Pie or Desserts
While you enjoy that slice of pumpkin or chocolate pie, keep the sweets out of paw’s reach. Ingredients like nutmeg, chocolate, and xylitol (a common sweetener in sugar-free desserts) can be extremely dangerous for pets.

🚫 Skip the Table Scraps
Even small bites of rich, greasy foods can cause digestive upset or serious illness. Encourage guests not to share food, no matter how cute those puppy-dog eyes may be!

🚮 Keep Trash Secure
After the feast, make sure leftovers, bones, and food wrappers are properly sealed and kept out of reach. Pets are notorious for “dumpster diving,” and the results can be harmful or even life-threatening.

If your pet eats something they shouldn’t, Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic is open all Thanksgiving weekend to help.

Stella, a sweet 4-year-old Bulldog, came to Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic after her family noticed she was limping on her right hind leg. After performing a full physical and orthopedic examination, sedation, and radiographs, our team determined that she had a right cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture.

The cranial cruciate ligament is one of two key ligaments in the knee that help keep it stable. When it tears, the knee becomes unstable, often causing sudden lameness, swelling, and discomfort. This is one of the most common orthopedic injuries in dogs and can occur due to sudden twisting motions during play, certain body conformations, or extra strain on the joints from excess weight.

Stella was treated with pain relief and anti-inflammatory medications to help manage her discomfort and inflammation, along with strict exercise restriction.. She will be following up with her family veterinarian to discuss surgical repair with a board-certified surgeon, which offers the best long-term outcome for dogs with this condition.

Stella was such a lovely girl during her stay with us. 💙 We wish her all the best in her recovery 🐾

🐾 Cuterebra in Cats – What You Should Know 🐾

Cuterebra, are the larvae of botflies that can infect cats (most often outdoor cats). They usually appear as a lump or swelling with a small hole in the center. While many cases are straightforward, they can sometimes lead to infection or more serious complications.

Recently, we treated Minnow, a 1.5-month-old kitten who came to BVEC with a Cuterebra in her neck. Our team gently removed the larva, cleaned the wound, and she recovered beautifully. 💙 She was such a lovely patient, and we’ll be sharing her picture with one of our amazing techs!

👉 If you notice unusual swelling or lumps on your cat, contact your veterinarian or emergency veterinarian right away.

Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic is here if you need us. 💙

✨ Celebrating 1 Year of BVEC ✨

As Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic celebrates one year of being open, we’re reflecting on some of the incredible patients we’ve had the privilege to care for. One of those special patients is Gemma, a beautiful 2-year-old Golden Doodle who visited us during our opening weekend in September 2024.

Gemma came to BVEC with concerning symptoms — vomiting, low energy, and loss of appetite. After thorough testing and bloodwork, we discovered her liver values were elevated, though the cause remained unclear. To provide her with the best chance of recovery, Gemma was admitted to our hospital for care.

Over two days, our team supported her with intravenous fluids, antibiotics, anti-nausea medications, and gastroprotectants. Slowly, her energy returned, and the vomiting resolved, but her liver values remained elevated. Together with her family, the decision was made to transfer Gemma to the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) for advanced diagnostics and care.

After four days at OVC, Gemma improved significantly — her appetite returned, her energy was back, and her liver values began to improve. She was able to go home and has since continued follow-up with her family veterinarian. This summer, Gemma and her family visited us at BVEC, and it was wonderful to see her thriving. 💙🐾

We’re so grateful to have been part of Gemma’s journey and thank her family for their kind words and trust:

“We took our dog to this weekend Emergency Clinic in September when it first opened. Our dog was very sick and they took such good care of her. She would not have lived if it wasn't for their help in multiple ways. We are forever grateful for the kindness and professionalism of everyone working there. Highly recommend.”

Thank you, Gemma, for being part of BVEC’s story — and thank you to our amazing community, clients, and staff for making this first year so meaningful. Here’s to many more years of helping pets in need! 🎉💙🐾
