🎉✨ New Year’s Eve Pet Safety Tips! ✨🎉

As we get ready to ring in a brand-new year, here are a few friendly reminders to help keep your furry friends safe, calm, and cozy tonight:

🎆 Fireworks & Loud Noises
Not every pet loves the big booms at midnight. Create a quiet space with their favorite blankets, toys, or a white-noise machine. Calming chews or anxiety jackets can help too!

🚪 Doorway Safety
With guests coming and going, watch out for accidental escape artists. Keep pets secured or use a baby gate to prevent quick getaways.

🍾 Party Snacks & Drinks
As tempting as they may be, many festive foods are unsafe for pets.
🚫 Alcohol
🚫 Chocolate
🚫 Grapes & raisins
🚫 Sugar-free treats with xylitol
🚫 Rich, greasy foods
Stick to pet-friendly treats only — their tummies will thank you!

🎉 Decorations & Confetti
Shiny things are fun until someone eats them. Keep party poppers, confetti, and small décor off the floor and away from curious mouths.

🕯️ Candles & Scents
If you’re setting the mood for the countdown, be sure open flames and hot wax are out of reach of wagging tails.

💼 Guests’ Bags
Ask visitors to zip up purses and bags — medications, gum, and snacks inside can be dangerous if discovered by a nosy pet.

✨ As you celebrate the countdown, help your pets stay safe and comfortable. Wishing you and your four-legged family a peaceful and happy start to the new year! 🐾💙

✨ New Year’s Week Hours! ✨

We’re heading into the final stretch of the holiday season, which means updated hours for the upcoming week! 🎉⏰
Before we wrap up the year, please take a moment to double-check your pet’s medications, food, and refills. If they’re running low, now is the perfect time to reach out so we can make sure your furry family members are covered. 🐾💙

🎉✨ Holiday Gathering Pet Safety Tips! ✨🎉

This time of year brings lots of visitors, yummy treats, and extra excitement — which means our pets might get a little too curious! Here are a few friendly reminders to help keep your furry loved ones safe during all the celebrations:

🐾 Watch the Door Dashers
With guests coming in and out, some pets see a golden opportunity for a quick adventure. Make sure they’re secured before opening doors, or consider using a baby gate to prevent surprise escapes.

🎁 Gift & Decoration Caution
Ribbon, tinsel, string, and small ornaments can look like toys but can lead to serious trouble if swallowed. Keep them out of reach of playful paws.

🕯️ Candles & Scents
Curious noses and swishing tails don’t mix well with open flames. Pet-safe scents or flameless candles are always a great option.

🧘 Create a Calm Zone
Visitors, loud noises, and excitement can be overwhelming. Set up a quiet room with water, comfy bedding, and toys so your pet has a safe retreat.

💊 Medication Safety
Remind guests to keep purses, luggage, and pill bottles zipped up and out of reach — pets are masters at finding what they shouldn’t.

✨ With a little planning, your celebrations can stay fun, stress-free, and safe for everyone — including the four-legged family members! 🐶🐱💙

We’re feeling extra grateful today for our amazing clients, your wonderful pets, and the trust you place in our team every day. 💛

Just a reminder — we’re closed today (Thursday, November 27) so our team can spend time with loved ones, but we’ll reopen with normal hours tomorrow!

🦃🍁 Thanksgiving is almost here! 🍁🦃
Belvedere Veterinary Center will be closed a half day on Wednesday the 26th and all day on Thursday, November 27th for Thanksgiving so our team can enjoy the holiday with family and friends. We’ll resume normal hours on Friday!

💊 Need food or medication refills?
Please request them ahead of time so your pets don’t run out during the holiday!

And as you prepare your feast, here’s a quick reminder of Thanksgiving foods to keep away from pets:
🚫 Turkey bones or skin
🚫 Stuffing (especially with onions or garlic)
🚫 Grapes, raisins, or desserts with xylitol
🚫 Rich or greasy foods that can upset their stomachs

Instead, treat your pets to a little extra love and maybe a few pet-safe goodies of their own! ❤️🐾

We’re so thankful for our wonderful clients and their amazing pets — wishing you all a safe and happy Thanksgiving! 🍂🧡
