A HUGE shoutout to Harvest Thyme Cafe San Felasco Tech City for being our “go to” for staff Lunch & Learns and just lunch, and now breakfast too! Their food is simply amazing with freshest of ingredients! I love that we can satisfy all of our individual food needs in one place.

We had a fantastic lunch courtesy of Virbac yesterday. When our rep asked where we wanted lunch from, of course Harvest Thyme was my answer. We learned about some great new products coming and of course a refresher on the products we already use.

It’s almost lunchtime now, so if you’re in the area…remember Harvest Thyme is just up the street!!

Just a reminder for these cold nights & days! Also, if you see an animal in distress due to the cold, please reach out to Alachua County Animal Resources at 352-264-6880. Stay warm!!

As temperatures dip below 40 degrees, Alachua County Animal Resources reminds pet owners to prioritize their pets' safety by bringing dogs and cats indoors.

Cold weather can be unexpectedly harsh on pets, even during outdoor exercise. To keep them safe, consider moderating outdoor activities, such as shortening walks for dogs and ensuring cats remain indoors during the coldest parts of the day.

Certain pets, such as those with medical conditions like diabetes, older animals, and very young ones, may struggle to regulate their body temperature in extreme cold. Extra care should be taken to keep these pets warm and comfortable.

For cat owners and drivers alike, it’s essential to “make some noise” before starting your car. Outdoor and feral cats may seek shelter under the warmth of vehicle hoods, which can lead to fatal accidents. Always check under your car, tap on the hood, and honk the horn before starting the engine to prevent harm.

Please contact Alachua County Animal Resources at 352-264-6880 during business hours if you see an animal in distress due to the cold. Call 911 for emergencies.

Let’s work together to keep all our furry friends safe and warm this winter.
