We reached out to the city of Hermantown to gather more information about the pet cemetery post that’s gone viral.

First off, we are absolutely APPALLED that city of Hermantown employees are now receiving death threats!!! Absolutely unacceptable!!!

Secondly, the notice was posted in the Hermantown Star newspaper by the city of Hermantown as a courtesy on the off-chance that someone actually knew where their pet is buried. The piece of property has not been maintained in well over a decade and because it’s not owned by the city of Hermantown, it does not have any public records, plots, markers or posts to indicate where specifically any pets are buried on this private land.

The ONLY involvement the city of Hermantown has with this pet cemetery is they have been asked by the LAND OWNER to re-zone the property from public to residential. The city of Hermantown does not, nor has it ever, owned this piece of property. And the city is NOT going to remove, destroy or touch the pet cemetery or the land. That is solely up to the private land owner (This was not a “paid lot” type of cemetery. This was just something the land owner did for people).

Here are 7️⃣ pet safety tips to keep in mind from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). You can find more important information here: https://www.avma.org/resources/pet-owners/petcare/july-4-safety?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3quCAGHm4r3hPDFtEPij9oYA_fuTkqQoisVG6_zA7NtnkA6bSnkaJirV0_aem_taLZvCy8vdO8RUJO5iGv6g

We hope all of you have a safe 4th of July.

The fourth of July is near and what better way to celebrate than with fireworks and sparklers. Although it may not be expected, dogs will chew on and eat fireworks and may become anxious due to the unexpected, loud sound. When ingested dogs can have GI upset, obstruction, and even damage to their red blood cells. It’s best to keep your furry friends inside while enjoying the pyrotechnics!

06/28/2024

We will be closed on Thursday, July 4th and will be open Friday, July 5th. If you are concerned about your pet and fireworks, please call the clinic at 218-722-3963 or email [email protected] for options to help your pet through the Holiday.

If you have a pet that struggles with fireworks and thunderstorms, please call the clinic at 218-722-3963 to discuss the options for helping your pet through these events. Please do not wait until July 3rd.
