🐢 We’re thrilled to share that 82 turtles were successfully released this year through our wildlife care efforts at Chadwell Animal Hospital.

Many of these turtles came to us injured and in need of medical care. In some cases, we partner with Friskies Wildlife by providing medical treatment here at Chadwell and then transferring them back to Friskies once they’re healthy enough for release. Teamwork like this allows even more turtles to return safely to the wild.

We also want to extend a huge thank you to our incredible community members who look out for injured turtles and bring them to us for help. Some of you even step up to release them yourselves once their care is complete, which we absolutely love to see.

Lastly, thank you to everyone who has chosen to donate toward wildlife care through our wildlife drop-off form. Your generosity helps support the medical treatment, rehabilitation, and release of these amazing animals.

Because of your support, these turtles got a second chance. 💚🐢

🐾 Meet Me Monday: Abby! 🐾

Meet Abby, one of our awesome veterinary assistants here at Chadwell Animal Hospital! Abby has been part of our team for about 6 months and brings a huge heart for animals to everything she does.

At home, Abby is a proud cat mom to two kitties, Vivian and Hopscotch 🐱🐱. She especially loves cats, but also has a soft spot for snakes and snails!

A fun fact about Abby: her love for veterinary medicine runs deep, her parents actually met while working together in an animal hospital 💙

When she’s not at work, you can find Abby hiking, crocheting, swimming, or getting lost in a good book. 📚🧶🏞️

And her favorite animal fact? Kittens from the same litter can have different dads! 😸

The holidays are full of festiveness and cheer, but they can also present many dangers to pets that are often overlooked. Several popular holiday plants are considered toxic to our pets. Take a look at the list below and keep the dangerous plants out of the reach or out of the house, or choose a safer alternative to keep the season merry!

🐾❄️ December Is Here! Keep Your Pets Safe in the Cold! ❄️🐾

As temperatures start to drop, our furry (and scaly!) family members need a little extra help staying safe and warm. Here are some cold-weather reminders from your team at Chadwell Animal Hospital:

🔥 Limit outdoor time. Pets can develop frostbite and hypothermia quickly, especially seniors, puppies/kittens, thin-coated breeds, and small animals.

🧥 Bundle up when needed. Coats or sweaters help many dogs stay comfortable on chilly walks. (And they look adorable!)

🚗 Check your car before starting it. Outdoor cats may hide under the hood for warmth.

🥶 Wipe paws after walks. Salt and ice-melting chemicals can irritate paw pads and cause stomach upset if licked.

🏡 Keep small pets & exotics warm. Rabbits, reptiles, and pocket pets are sensitive to drafts and temperature swings. Double-check enclosures and make sure heat sources are working properly.

🚫 Avoid space heaters. Curious pets can knock them over or burn themselves.

💊 Store winter toxins safely. Antifreeze is deadly even in tiny amounts. Clean spills immediately and keep containers out of reach.

If you ever have concerns about your pet during the winter months, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at (443) 512-8338. Stay warm and snuggle those pets a little extra this season! ❄️❤️
