During the winter months, cats will often seek out any warm space they can find. Unfortunately, common cozy places include underneath a car and a warm car engine which puts their lives at risk. Here’s a few actions you can take to avoid these types of catastrophes:
🙀 Keep your cat safe and warm inside
🌨️ Check for any animal who might be living under your car before leaving for a trip
📢 Make loud warning sounds before starting your car
🚗 Give animals time to escape your care after you’ve made loud noises
🛏️ Provide a safer, alternative cozy spot for a cat by setting up a cat bed or box with a blanket
If you have a cat emergency contact Animal Urgent Care which is open 24/7/365 at 303-420-7387

As you know, roads start getting icy this time of year.❄️A common de-icing product known as rock salt is a mixture of sodium chloride that helps reduce ice build-up on roads. What you may not know is that rock salt can be extremely dangerous to pets – especially when ingested or licked from paws and fur. Symptoms of salt poisoning include drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite.

✨Hanukkah Pet Safety Tips✨
Hanukkah is a time that is spent with the ones you love and that includes your pets! Keep your dogs and cats safe this season with these tips:
🕎The menorah is one of the most important Hanukkah traditions. However, keeping flame-lit candles in the house can be dangerous for both humans and our pets – especially when some pets like to jump on tables. We suggest considering battery-operated candles or that you place the menorah in pet-free rooms and at an unreachable height.
🕎Traditional Hanukkah foods such as latkes are delicious but they could be toxic to your pets. Keep cats and dogs away from these treats, keep all human food and leftovers out of paw’s reach, and cover trash bins securely.
🕎Hanukkah wouldn’t be the same without the spinning of the dreidel. However, like any small object, they can become a pet safety hazard. Watch where the dreidel goes after the game is over and keep it out of your pet’s mouth to avoid a choking hazard or foreign body obstruction.

⚠️Holiday Hazards⚠️
They might look beautiful but holiday decorations may be hazardous for pets. Here are a few tips to keep your pet safe this holiday season:
🎄Securely anchor and keep pets away from the tree. Also, remember to sweep up any fallen pine needles.
💡Hang strands of lights higher up. Not only can pets get tangled in strings, but these strands can give them a potentially life-threatening electrical shock if they bite through a wire.
🐈Tinsel and ornaments can seem like toys (especially to cats) and can cause serious stomach issues if ingested. Avoid using tinsel when possible and stick with larger, shatterproof ornaments that aren’t easy to break or swallow.

🎃 Happy Halloween! Our doors are open 24/7 in all our three hospitals today! 👻🦇 Have your pets dressed up for the occasion? Let's get the pet parade started in the comments! 📸

As Orion has quickly learned, Orbeez are NOT the kind of rainbow that a dog should taste! 🌈 🐶 Unfortunately, they expanded in his GI tract and he was rushed to AUC where an x-ray confirmed he had consumed a large quantity. He had surgery to remove the rest soon after this video and is now resting comfortably at home - colorful chaos contained.

On #NationalDogDay we’re honoring dogs that selflessly save lives, keep us safe, and bring us love and comfort. Dogs put their lives on the line every day to protect our families and homes, their law enforcement partner, their blind companion, the disabled, and victims of accidents and tragedy. So today we say THANK YOU to all the dogs out there! ♥🐶🐕🐩🐕‍🦺♥ Comment a picture of your dog to show them some extra appreciation today!

Pets can be curious, and sometimes that leads to swallowing indigestible objects which can result in a bowel or gastrointestinal obstruction. The treatment for bowel obstruction can vary and depends on the severity of the condition. In some cases, a blockage may pass on its own. In others, surgery may be required. Obstructions can be very serious and may even result in death, so it is important to go to the closest AUC location if you discover or suspect your pet swallowed something indigestible. All AUC locations are open 24/7/365 for pet emergencies.

Introducing the FIRST Parvovirus treatment: Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody (CPMA)! 🐾 AUC now carries CPMA at all three locations. Parvo is a serious and common illness in puppies, especially since they often lack immunity if not fully vaccinated. If your puppy is showing symptoms like bloody diarrhea, lethargy, vomiting, or loss of appetite, please contact the nearest AUC location immediately. 📞 AUC Arvada: (303) 420 – 7387 📞 AUC Park Hill: (303) 800 – 1184 📞 AUC North East: (303) 381 – 1488 Let's work together to FIGHT PARVO! 💪

Happy Hug Your Cat Day! 🐱 Did you know that there are scientifically-proven health benefits to cat ownership? ❣ Cat owners have a lowered risk of heart disease and stroke due to the relaxing effects felines have on their humans which minimizes stress and lowers blood pressure. ❣ A cat's purr creates vibrations at a frequency of 20-140 HZ, and studies have shown that frequencies in the 18-35 HZ range have a positive effect on human joint mobility after injury. ❣ If you spend 15-30 minutes a day petting or playing with your cat it can boost your mood! A result due to a rise in serotonin and a decrease in cortisol. Showing your cat love and affection will let them know you care for them too - so give your cat extra lovin' today and give them a hug!

It's #NationalPetDay! 🐕🐈🐇🐹❤ It's basically National Pet Day every day but we are just so lucky to have the joy, support, and connection pets bring to our lives - let's celebrate them a little extra today! ♥ Share a picture of your pet or pets in the comments below!

From our family at AUC to yours, 🎅🎄🐾 MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🐾🎄🎅 We hope your day is filled with love and plenty of treats!
