🎉 Thanksgiving is Fun—But Watch Out for These Pet Hazards! 🐕🐾
Holiday celebrations can bring unexpected risks for pets:
🎃 Decorations: Keep candles, potpourri, and small decorative items out of reach—pets might chew or swallow them!
🎉 Guests and Doors: With guests coming and going, curious pets can slip out. Keep them in a secure area or use a baby gate.
🍫 Leftovers: Don’t leave food scraps or trash unattended—pets love to explore for a tasty treat!

Keep your pets safe this Thanksgiving, so everyone has something to be thankful for! 💕🐾

🩺 November is National Pet Cancer Awareness Month 🐾

Cancer affects thousands of pets every year, but early detection can save lives! This month, we’re raising awareness about the signs and symptoms every pet parent should know:

📋 Common Warning Signs:
• New or growing lumps
• Changes in appetite or weight
• Difficulty breathing or moving
• Sores that don’t heal

Routine check-ups play a vital role in catching issues early. If you notice any of these changes in your pet, don’t hesitate—schedule a visit with your veterinarian.

📖 Follow along this month as we share articles all about cancer in pets. We hope this information gives you knowledge and power to make informed decisions about your pet's care.
