Day 18 of 31 Days of Giving: Vaccinate Your Pet 🐾

Vaccinations are a crucial part of keeping your furry friends healthy and protected against preventable diseases. By vaccinating your pet, you’re not only safeguarding their well-being but also contributing to the health of your community.

💡 Why Vaccinate?

Protects against serious illnesses like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus.
Helps control the spread of zoonotic diseases (those that can spread from animals to humans).
Keeps your pet happy, healthy, and safe!
🐾 How You Can Help:
1️⃣ Ensure your pet’s vaccinations are up to date.
2️⃣ Spread awareness about the importance of vaccinations.
3️⃣ Donate to local shelters to help vaccinate rescue animals.

Let’s make this season of giving count by giving the gift of health to our beloved pets! 💕

🛑 Foods to Avoid:

Chocolate, especially dark or baking chocolate
Grapes and raisins
Onions, garlic, and chives
Xylitol (found in sugar-free gum and candies)
Alcohol and caffeine
🛑 Household Hazards:

Cleaning products like bleach or ammonia
Antifreeze (ethylene glycol)
Rodenticides and insecticides
Certain houseplants (e.g., lilies for cats, sago palms for dogs)
Medications like ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or antidepressants
🛑 Holiday-Specific Dangers:

Tinsel and ornaments
Poinsettias, mistletoe, and holly
Leftovers like bones or fatty foods
✨ What to Do in an Emergency:
If you suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, call Animal Poison Control immediately at (888) 426-4435 or your local veterinarian. Acting quickly can save their life!

Today, let's spread awareness and make our homes safer for our beloved companions. ❤️🐾

Day 16 of Giving: Read to Our Pets 📚🐾

Today, let’s combine the magic of stories with the comfort of our furry friends! Grab a favorite book, sit down with your pet, and share some cozy reading time together. Pets may not understand every word, but they’ll love the sound of your voice and the calming vibe.
Volunteer with EVHS! https://etowahvalleyhumane.org/how-you-can-help/volunteer/

🐕 No pet at home? Visit a shelter! Many animals find reading soothing and love the attention. It’s a great way to help them feel relaxed and socialized while waiting for their forever families.

✨ Let's spread love, kindness, and good stories to our furry companions today! What's on your reading list? 📖🐾
