We have decided for the saftey of our wonderful staff, clients, and patients that we will be closing up shop today to let everyone stay safe in this winter wonderland!

We hope everyone enjoys this special weather and we hope you stay warm and safe!

We will reopen tomorrow morning at 9:30am for all of your pets needs, if you have a medical emergency please contact Animal Emergency Of Gainsville, or All Pets Emergency in Alpharetta.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but for the safety of all parties we have decided this is what is best for everyone! Thank you! 🐾

01/09/2025

As of right now, we are planning to open at 730 and operate until 1pm tomorrow. We are concerned about the road safety for our staff and clients. Saturday we plan to open at 9:30am. We want to ensure everyone's safety during this winter storm.

01/08/2025

We are closely monitoring the weather system that is expected to move through North Georgia at the end of the week. At this time, we are expecting to operate normal business hours. However, if the roads are unsafe to travel on for our staff and clients, we will delay our opening on Saturday. We want our staff members and clients to arrive safely and not potentially get harmed trying to make it in.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via e-mail, text or phone calls.

We hope everyone stays warm, dry and safe during this winter weather!

🐱Meet Gerald! 🐱
Gerald is one of our well loved patients (not for adoption). He presented to us with signs and symptoms of FIP. After a rigorous treatment course, Gerald has been in remission from FIP. 🐾

❓️❓️What is feline infectious peritonitis (FIP)?
FIP is a severe disease in cats caused by feline coronavirus. COVID-19 is also caused by a coronavirus but the coronavirus causing FIP is not the same and only infects cats. Feline coronavirus is commonly found in the f***s of cats and research has shown that infection is very common among cats. Thankfully, in most, it causes mild diarrhea or no signs at all. However, in a small number of cats, the virus changes (mutates) inside the cat, and interacts with the cat’s immune system in a certain way, resulting in FIP. 🤒

We carry the FDA approved anti-viral drug, named GS-441524, to treat FIP! This is the medication used to aid in Gerald's treatment.💊💊

We are happy to be a part of this journey of healing with Gerald and his family. ❤️🐾

Keeping our furry friends healthy means being mindful of what they eat this Thanksgiving! 🦃 🐾

Certain foods:
chocolate, grapes, onions, and fatty, and seasoned foodscan be toxic to cats and dogs, leading to serious health issues such as pancreatitis.
Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas that can cause severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and lethargy.

Here are some safe foods you can give your pets in small amounts for Thanksgiving:

1. Turkey: Make sure it's plain, cooked, and boneless. Avoid giving them the skin or any seasoned parts.
2. Sweet Potatoes: Plain and cooked without any added sugar or spices.
3. Green Beans: Steamed or boiled without any seasoning.
4. Pumpkin: Plain canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) is great for digestion.
5. Apples: Sliced and without seeds or core.

And if you need some substitutes for common Thanksgiving dishes:
- Instead of mashed potatoes with butter and milk, you can give them plain, boiled potatoes.
- For a treat, you can make pet-friendly biscuits with pumpkin and oats!

Always remember to keep portions small and avoid anything with onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, or chocolate.

By avoiding these harmful foods and sticking to a balanced diet, we can help ensure our pets live long, healthy lives. Remember, a little prevention goes a long way in keeping your beloved pets safe and happy!
