🐾 🎄 People aren’t the only ones with holiday anxiety… 🎄🐾

We want to take this time to remind pet owners of what stress can look like for our furry & feathered family members! With a bit of understanding a preparation, this holiday season can be festive instead of frightening.

🎄Contact us via Facebook message or phone call if you have questions or would like to discuss picking up some anti anxiety medication.

Cats are naturally curious creatures, but some houseplants and flowers can pose serious risks to their health.

Here are some common plants that are toxic to cats:
1. Lilies: Extremely toxic and can cause kidney failure in cats, even from small exposures like licking pollen.
2. Mistletoe: Toxic to cats and can cause gastrointestinal upset and cardiovascular issues.
3. Poinsettia: Although often listed as toxic, it usually causes mild irritation rather than severe toxicity.

When thinking of holiday gifts be sure to consider pet safe plants instead.

If your cat is exposed to a toxic plant, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Meet Mojo!

This is him recovering from his dental and getting lots of snuggles until his parents came to get him ❤️

💡 Did you know small dogs are particularly prone to dental disease? Things like brushing, water additives, a dental diet and certain chews can all help slow the progression. Check out the Veterinary Oral Health Council for a list of products that have undergone scientific studies to prove that they help bust tartar and/or plaque: https://vohc.org/accepted-products/
(there’s cat products on there too!!)

Our job is not always snuggles with cute animals- but we sure love when it is!

TICKS! This past week we are seeing an abundance of ticks, many owners not even aware of their presence (they can be hard to spot especially in the early stages)

We encourage you to continue your pets monthly prevention & keep an eye on the two legged family members for these guys.

See the video (in the comments) on how to safely remove a tick. We recommend having a tick twister at home if you have pets or not.

For the month of November we will again be waving the exam/consultation fee for any past or present member of the military for their pet(s).

With deepest thanks & gratitude for your service.

Guinea Pig Awareness Week Continues 🎉

But these enrichment ideas can be applied to most small exotics! Boredom is a huge concern for exotic pets- treat them today with a novelty item or game that engages their mind! 🐽💕

*Always confirm the treats you are giving are appropriate (not toxic) for the species, and high sugar items (like fruit) should only be fed in moderation*
