**🐾❄️ Keep Your Pets Safe and Cozy This Winter! ❄️🐾**

The snow season is finally here! While the winter wonderland can be beautiful, it also brings unique challenges for our furry friends. Here are some essential tips to keep them comfortable and safe during these chilly months:

1️⃣ **Limit Outdoor Time**: Just like us, pets can suffer from frostbite and hypothermia. Keep walks short and monitor them for signs of discomfort, like shivering or lifting their paws.

2️⃣ **Bundle Them Up**: Small dogs, short-haired breeds, and senior pets may benefit from a warm sweater or coat when venturing outdoors. Make sure it fits snugly but isn’t restrictive.

3️⃣ **Wipe Paws After Walks**: Snow, ice, and salt can irritate paw pads or be toxic if ingested. Use a damp cloth to clean their paws after being outside.

4️⃣ **Watch for Heat Sources**: While pets may love to cozy up by the heater or fireplace, ensure they don’t get too close to avoid burns or accidents.

5️⃣ **Provide Warm Shelter**: Ensure your pet’s bed is off the floor and away from drafts. Consider adding a soft blanket or heated pad for extra warmth.

6️⃣ **Hydrate and Nourish**: Cold weather can dehydrate pets. Make sure they always have access to fresh, unfrozen water and balanced meals to keep their energy up.

7️⃣ **Never Leave Them in a Car**: Cars can act like refrigerators in the winter, trapping cold air and putting pets at risk of freezing.

8️⃣ **Check Your Engine**: Outdoor cats sometimes seek warmth under car hoods. Tap on your hood or honk the horn before starting your vehicle to avoid accidents.

💙 **Your pets rely on you to keep them safe and comfortable all year long. Let’s make this snow season a cozy and safe one for them!** 🐶🐱

🦃🐾 Keep Your Pets Safe This Thanksgiving! 🐾🦃

As we prepare for a week full of food, family, and festivities, let’s not forget about our furry friends! Here are some quick tips to keep them happy and safe this Thanksgiving:

🍗 Skip the scraps: Avoid feeding pets turkey bones, fatty foods, or anything seasoned with onions, garlic, or spices—they can be harmful!
🥧 Say no to sweets: Chocolate, xylitol (found in sugar-free items), and rich desserts are toxic to pets.
🧹 Keep trash out of reach: Ensure leftover food, bones, and wrappings are secured to prevent curious noses from finding trouble.
🏠 Create a calm space: With guests coming and going, provide your pet with a quiet spot to relax and avoid stress.
🌹 Watch the décor: Keep candles, festive plants (like poinsettias), and small decorations out of paw’s reach.

Let’s make this holiday safe and joyful for everyone—including our four-legged family members! ❤️

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Emily Cameron as the newest member of our veterinary team!

Growing up in the Cleveland area, Dr. Cameron brings a wealth of experience and a strong passion for veterinary medicine back to her hometown.

Dr. Cameron earned her Bachelor’s Degrees in Animal Science and Biology from the University of Findlay and went on to complete a Master’s Degree in Public Health and a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Tennessee.

🐾 **November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month!** 🐾

There’s something truly special about opening your heart and home to a senior pet. These wise, gentle companions bring so much love, loyalty, and gratitude to your life, and they’re often overlooked in shelters. Here’s why adopting a senior pet could be one of the most rewarding decisions you make:

✨ **They’re Already Trained:** Many senior pets have lived in homes before, meaning they’re likely house-trained and know basic commands. Less time training, more time cuddling!

✨ **Easygoing Personalities:** Senior pets are often calm, laid-back, and enjoy a slower pace. They’re just as happy snuggling on the couch as they are on a leisurely stroll.

✨ **Instant Gratitude:** Senior pets seem to understand the gift of a second chance, and they’ll show you endless love and appreciation in return.

✨ **What You See is What You Get:** Their size, temperament, and personality are already developed, so you’ll know exactly who you’re bringing into your family.

If you’re thinking about adding a new furry friend to your family, consider giving a senior pet the love-filled home they deserve. Adopting a senior pet not only changes their life—it will change yours, too. 🐶💖🐱
