📢 We are so excited to announce our Pawsitive Care Pet Food Bank here at the clinic! ANYONE in need can stop in and pick up food for their beloved pets during our normal business hours. You do not need to be a client 💕🐾🐈🐕

A huge thank you to Habitat for Humanity Nanaimo ReStore for their incredible donation of over 80 bags of pet food. Your generosity will make a world of difference for families in need, ensuring their pets stay healthy and well-fed.

Habitat for Humanity is known for building homes and communities, providing families with the stability they need to thrive. By supporting our food bank, you're extending that spirit of care and compassion to the pets who are also part of these families.

We are so grateful for this partnership 🥰 Please support and check out their inventory of new and used furniture, appliances, décor, and home improvement building materials!

Happy Halloween! 👻💖

We hope everyone has a fun and safe evening. Here are a few tips on how to keep your pets safe:

1. We recommend keeping cats inside to stop them from getting spooked or accidentally harmed throughout the evening. 🐈‍⬛

2. Fireworks can be scary to pets! If your fur child dislikes loud noises, keeping them calm in a dark, quiet room might make the night easier. 🎆

3. Many treats can be toxic to pets (including chocolate, glow sticks, and anything containing xylitol sweetener). Please keep treat bags tucked away and out of reach! 🍫

A good number to keep handy this Halloween is the Pet Poison Hotline at 1-855-764-7661 📱
If your pet has eaten something that you are concerned might be toxic, this resource is available 24/7

Make sure to share to ensure everyone can keep their pets safe 💕🐾
