🥵With the summer heat, remember to check your pet’s water bowl more frequently!

Pets can’t sweat like humans. They cool down through panting and paw pad sweat, so staying hydrated is critical for regulating body temp.

Fireworks may be fun for us, but for pets, they can be scary, and the booms often continue well past the 4th of July. 🌩️ Thunderstorms and other loud noises can trigger anxiety too.

If your pet is showing signs of stress, don’t hesitate to reach out. We can discuss treatment options to help your pet feel safe and secure year-round. 💙

THANK YOU to everyone who donated toward MJ’s surgery — it was a complete success!

As shown in the last photo, MJ’s uterus was dangerously enlarged (it should only be as thick as a pinky finger). She had an open pyometra, a life-threatening infection of the uterus. In open pyometra, the cervix stays open, allowing pus to drain. In closed pyometra, the cervix is sealed, trapping infection inside — which is even more dangerous.

🎆 Fireworks, Storms & Stress—Oh My! 🐾

Just a friendly reminder that medication refills can take up to 48 business hours—especially during the busy summer season! If your pet needs their anti-anxiety medications for upcoming fireworks, thunderstorms, or travel, please let us know sooner rather than later.

Not sure if your pet could benefit from calming support? We’re happy to help—just give us a call!

📞🐶🐱 Let’s keep your furry family feeling safe and secure this season.

🚨 Meet MJ – Our Brave Little Fighter 🐾💕

This beautiful 4-year-old cat is MJ, and she urgently needs our help. MJ was recently diagnosed with pyometra, a serious and potentially life-threatening uterine infection. Without surgery, her life is at risk.

Thanks to the generosity of our Angel Fund, MJ is scheduled for emergency surgery this Thursday with Dr. Sheldon. This fund was created to help pets like MJ receive critical medical care when finances might otherwise stand in the way.

The Angel Fund is fueled by donations from our compassionate community—you help make stories like MJ’s possible. 💗

🙏 Please keep sweet MJ in your thoughts as she undergoes surgery, and thank you to everyone who supports our mission to care for pets in need.
