Show some restraint!
Several carriers and harnesses are available to safely secure your pets during car rides.

Pets who aren’t properly restrained pose great risks to human passengers in the event of a sudden stop, swerve or accident.
In the event of a crash at 50 mph, a 10-pound, unrestrained dog generates 500 pounds of projectile force!

Cats can get significantly more stressed than dogs when traveling.
Make sure they are safe and secured when in the car.
If you would like something to calm them on long trips, talk to us about adding some meditation before takeoff!

New Year Resolutions inspired by our dogs….
Maybe we should work on ours 🤔

12/30/2024

Celebrate the new year safely and keep your pets indoors! 🎆

The holiday season brings lots of tummy aches and injuries, not just for us! 🍔

Although we love to see you and your pets, we also like them safe and sound ⭐️
Nevertheless, we are on standby if you need us this week!

Thank you for your support and votes for us in the 2024 Community’s Choice Awards 🏆

We are honored to be part of your pet’s journey and incredibly fortunate to have such a wonderful pet community 🐾

🤶 let’s make it happen again folks ⛄️

Like every year, our donation box is set up in our lobby to hold donations for all the displaced pets at 4 The Animals Rescue Inc.
We try to have toys & goodies for every pet at the rescue on Christmas morning 🎄
With the help of you, our amazing community, we’ve been able to accomplish our goal these past years and even been able to share the love with other rescues and shelters in the area.

If you want to donate directly to the rescue, check out their page and their Amazon Wish List.
You may also drop off monetary donations, food, blankets & beds, treats, cleaning supplies etc at our clinic! We will make sure it gets to the rescue 🐾

Are you ready for the cold?
While we can throw on some fluffy socks and winter clothes to keep us warm, our pets will have to count on their coats. And while some breeds can’t wait for cooler weather to arrive, others are made for warm snuggles on the couch year-round.

Be sure to check the temperature before planning to keep them outdoors with you!

Grapes, raisins, sultanas, currants. We love them in many of our holiday baking and dishes. However, they can be extremely dangerous for dogs! If your four-legged friend accidentally got a hold of some, give us a call!

We appreciate everyone's patience with us during check-out when paying with card.

There appear to be some problems with our point-of-sale system and the issue has been pushed to the attention of higher levels.

It's taking a little longer to check everyone out until the problem is fixed, but we can still accept card payments by manual entry or by sending payment links to your phone.

In order to give our employees a chance to vote, we open our doors a bit later at 10AM today!

Without our techs, hospitals and clinics would not be operating!
A HUGE thank you to ALL the vet techs who are essential for our doctors to keep going!

Dear pet owners,

In the last few weeks we have increasingly noticed that many of our patients are infested with fleas. Not only does this pose a health risk to your animals, but it can also spread to other animals - especially if they stay with us in the clinic.

Why is effective flea treatment so important?
A flea infestation can cause a number of problems in dogs and cats, including:

• Severe itching and skin irritation:
Your pets may become stressed by the itching, leading to persistent scratching and even skin injuries.
• Allergic reactions:
Some animals develop an allergy to flea saliva, which can lead to inflamed skin and widespread rashes.
• Tapeworms:
Fleas can act as intermediate hosts for tapeworms, which can be transmitted to your animals by swallowing fleas while grooming.
• Anemia:
A massive flea infestation can lead to anemia, especially in young, small or older animals.
• Diseases that can be transmitted to humans:
The most well-known flea-borne disease is plague caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis.
Bacterial infections such as bartonellosis and rickettsioses can also be transmitted to humans through fleas.

In order to protect the health of all our patients and also that of their pet owners, we urgently ask you to carry out regular tick and flea prophylaxis.

Not only is it important to keep the pests away, but it is also essential to prevent fleas from spreading.
💡 Our tip: Talk to your veterinarian about the best preventative measures tailored to your animals' needs. There are numerous options, from spot-ons to tablets to collars, to effectively protect your dogs and cats.

As always, donations for the rescue can be dropped off at our clinic during our opening hours!

Due to the high number of new intakes and cost of vetting in the last two weeks, this has put us in a bind and we are running extremely low on our dry food for this upcoming week. The warehouse we usually get our
order from is out and to purchase it off the shelves is way over half of what we pay. We need 8- 35 # bags of Hills Science Diet Adult 1-6 Chicken until we can get our next order. Hoping they have it in stock. We would truly appreciate any help. Tractor Supply carries it and I’ve included our PayPal link

What a weather…..
the current system that’s moving through seems to have messed with things and our systems (including phones) aren’t working right now. We hope that it’ll resolve once the storm has moved past.
Thank you for your patience was we try to get this resolved

We’ve had a few people come into our clinic who are interested in meeting these sweet kitties 🐈‍⬛
Please let us know if you want a snuggle with one (or all) of those adorable guys, who are STILL looking for a loving home ♥️
They are currently in foster care but we can arrange for them to come hang out with us for a meet ‘n’ greet!
