Tuesday Tips: New Year’s Eve Pet Safety 🐾

New Year’s Eve can be fun for us—but stressful for our pets. Here are a few ways to help keep them safe and comfortable as we ring in the New Year:

✨ Create a calm space: Set up a quiet, cozy area away from the noise where your pet feels safe.
🎧 Block out the booms: Close windows, draw curtains, and play soft music or TV to help mask fireworks.
🐶 Keep pets indoors: Even pets who usually do well outside can panic and try to escape when fireworks start.
🏷️ Check ID & microchips: Make sure collars, tags, and microchip info are up to date—just in case.
🚫 Skip the people food: Party foods, alcohol, and noisemakers can be dangerous for pets.
💊 Talk to your vet: If your pet has severe anxiety, we can discuss safe options to help them relax.

Let’s start the New Year with happy, safe pets! 🐕🐈

🐾 Fun Fact Friday! ✨🎄

Did you know that dogs actually have a place in holiday traditions around the world? From bringing good luck to taking part in festive celebrations, our furry friends have been woven into winter customs for centuries!

🌟 Good Luck Companions
In some cultures, dogs are considered symbols of protection, loyalty, and good fortune during the winter season. Their presence in the home was believed to help guard families from bad spirits during the darkest nights of the year.

🎁 Holiday Helpers
In parts of Europe, it was once common for families to leave out small treats for the household dog on Christmas Eve — a way of thanking them for their loyalty and companionship throughout the year.

✨ Furry Gift-Givers
Some Scandinavian traditions include stories of dogs joining in the merriment, running through the snow alongside families delivering holiday greetings and treats.

🎄 Modern-Day Traditions
Today, many families still honor their pups during the holidays with stockings, special treats, festive pajamas, or even their own wrapped presents. Pets have become even more central to the joy and excitement of Christmas celebrations!

No matter the tradition, one thing is universal — dogs make the holidays brighter just by being part of the family. ❤️🐾

🎄✨ Tuesday Tips: Keeping Your Pets Safe This Christmas! ✨🐾

The holidays are full of joy, lights, and celebration — but they can also bring a few extra hazards for our furry friends. Here are some simple tips to help keep your pets safe and stress-free this Christmas:

🐶 Watch the Holiday Treats
Chocolate, grapes, raisins, xylitol, and other festive foods can be dangerous. Stick to pet-friendly treats only!

🌲 Secure Your Christmas Tree
Make sure your tree is sturdy and avoid placing breakable or edible ornaments where curious pets can reach them.

🎀 Skip the Tinsel & Ribbon
These shiny decorations may look tempting — especially to cats — but can cause serious intestinal issues if swallowed.

🔥 Be Careful with Candles
Wagging tails and curious noses can easily knock over open flames. Consider flameless candles for a safer glow.

🎉 Provide a Quiet Retreat
Holiday guests and noise can overwhelm pets. Set up a calm, cozy space where they can relax.

🛍️ Clean Up Wrapping Supplies
Tape, bows, and small bits of plastic can be choking hazards. Toss wrapping materials as you go.

❄️ Protect Them From the Cold
Limit time outdoors in freezing weather. Short-haired and senior pets especially may need extra warmth.

🎅 Check New Toys for Safety
Make sure any new toys are appropriate for your pet’s size and chewing habits.

❤️ Stick to Their Routine
Keeping mealtimes, walks, and playtime consistent helps reduce holiday stress.

Wishing you and your pets a safe and happy Christmas season! 🎁🐾

Meet Brandon, one of our amazing Kennel Techs here at Hope! Brandon has been part of the Hope family for almost two years, and we’re so grateful for the care and dedication he brings to our pets every day.

What Brandon loves most about Hope is getting to work with both cats and dogs, whether in the kennel or the clinic. He takes pride in providing comfort, care, and a little extra joy to every animal that comes through our doors. 🐾

When Brandon isn’t at Hope, you’ll likely find him caring for his farm animals and pets at home, heading out on a road trip, or enjoying the great outdoors.

Brandon is also a proud pet parent to three dogs:
🐶 Aida, a German Shepherd
🐶 Maxwell, an Anatolian Shepherd mix
🐶 Bubba, a German Shepherd mix

With less than a week until Christmas, clearly the holiday dress code was “Most Likely To…” 😄🎄

From eating Santa’s cookies 🍪 to bringing home a stray cat 🐱 and singing Christmas songs a little too loudly 🎶—this crew has it all covered. We may not agree on who’s most likely to do what, but we do agree on one thing: taking great care of your pets all year long ❤️🐾

Merry Christmas from our fun (and slightly mischievous) Receptionist team at Hope Animal Clinic! 🎅✨

🐾 Fun Fact Friday! 🎁✨

Did you know many dogs love unwrapping Christmas gifts?
It’s not just because there might be a tasty treat or squeaky toy inside — the act of unwrapping taps into their natural instincts!

Dogs are natural foragers, so ripping, sniffing, and digging through wrapping paper feels like a fun “search-and-find” game. The crinkly sounds, new smells, and excitement from their humans make the experience even better!

If you plan to let your pup join the unwrapping fun this year, just be sure to use pet-safe paper and remove any ribbons, tape, or bows they could accidentally swallow.

🎄🐶 Let the festive fun begin!
