Happy Hug Your Cat Day! ๐Ÿฑ Did you know that there are scientifically proven health benefits to cat ownership?

โฃ Cat owners have a lowered risk of heart disease and stroke due to the relaxing effects felines have on their humans which minimizes stress and lowers blood pressure.

โฃ A cat's purr creates vibrations at a frequency of 20-140 HZ, and studies have shown that frequencies in the 18-35 HZ range have a positive effect on human joint mobility after injury.

โฃ If you spend 15-30 minutes a day petting or playing with your cat it can boost your mood! A result due to a rise in serotonin and a decrease in cortisol.

Showing your cat love and affection will let them know you care for them too - so give your cat extra lovin' today and give them a hug! ๐Ÿ’™

April showers bring May flowers... but watch out! Not all flowers are pet friendly!

โŒ Lilies, Sago Palm, Tulips, Azalea, Oleander, Castor Bean, Cyclamen, Kalanchoe, Yew, Amaryllis, Autumn Crocus, Chrysanthemum, English Ivy, Pothos and Schefflera

Instead, try pet-friendly plants! ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿˆ

While you're having fun with family and friends this Memorial Day Weekend, remember the following tips to help keep your pets safe this holiday:

โญ Cookouts are popular this holiday weekend, but the food and drink you serve your guests may be dangerous for pets. A few especially toxic examples include alcohol, raisins, grapes, onions, chocolate, and avocado.

โญ Never leave your pets unsupervised around a pool, lake, or ocean. If you take your dog on a boat, we highly recommend having them wear a floatation device and keep them from drinking salt water. Also, try to keep your dog from drinking pool water, which contains potentially dangerous chemicals.

โญ Be sure that your pet has appropriate ID tags and up-to-date microchip information. People leaving doors open and loud noises such as fireworks or thunderstorms can all increase your petsโ€™ chances of escaping.

โญ Be sure your pet has easy access to plenty of water so they don't get dehydrated - preferably in a shady spot, especially if they are spending a lot of time outside.

As a reminder, CVRC is ALWAYS open on holidays, 24/7/365.

Meet Anna!

"Anna is so good at what she does because she is compassionate towards the animals, dependable, smart, always willing to learn, excels at what she does and is a hard worker! Her attention to detail for the patients needs makes her stand out. She is a joy to work with, has a fun-loving personality and is an incredible team member that is a huge asset to our Rehab department. She has several favorite Rehab patients that you can tell she is their favorite as well. A couple regulars include Hank on Mondays and Turnip on Thursdays- she calls them her "boyfriends". We're excited for her to continue to grow and advance in her career to become a Rehab technician!" - Karrie Clark, LVT, CCRP

Tomatoes are a popular garden crop this time of year. However, green tomatoes contain solanine which can put our pets at risk. ๐Ÿ… In most cases, we can see gastrointestinal irritation even with a small amount ingested.

Symptoms with larger ingestions can include: vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, weakness, confusion, dilated pupils, depression, and increased heart rate.

If you suspect your pet has consumed green tomatoes, immediately contact CVRC at 843.614.8387. You can also connect with the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435
