⚠️ Cautionary Tips for Pets This Labor Day Weekend ⚠️

Hey pet parents! With Labor Day just around the corner, many of us are gearing up for outdoor fun and celebrations. While it's a great time for us, it can pose some risks for our furry friends. Here are a few tips to keep your pets safe and happy during the long weekend:

Keep Pets Away from Fireworks: The loud noises and bright lights can be very stressful for pets. Keep them indoors and in a quiet, comfortable space. Consider using a calming diffuser or speaking to your vet about anxiety-reducing options.

Avoid the Heat: Labor Day often brings warm weather. Ensure your pets have plenty of fresh water and shade. Never leave them in a parked car, even for a few minutes.

Watch for Food Hazards: Cookouts are tempting for us, but many of the foods we enjoy are dangerous for pets. Keep them away from grill areas and make sure they don’t sneak any bones, onions, or other harmful foods.

Supervise Around Guests: With friends and family around, it’s easy for pets to get overwhelmed or accidentally hurt. Make sure they have a quiet retreat if they need some time alone.

Be Mindful of Pests: Summer can bring an increase in pests like fleas and ticks. Ensure your pet is up-to-date on their preventatives and check them regularly.

Keep ID Tags Updated: With all the hustle and bustle, it’s important that your pet’s identification is up-to-date in case they get lost.

Enjoy your Labor Day celebrations and keep your pets safe and sound! 🐾❤️

NATIONAL MUTT DAY

National Mutt Day encourages us to embrace, save and celebrate mixed breed dogs twice a year on July 31 and December 2.


Desperately longing for a new home, millions of loving and healthy mixed breed dogs in shelters wait for someone to come and adopt them. National Mutt Day provides an excellent opportunity to find the perfect canine companion. Despite the name, a mutt learns, obeys and trains much like purebred animals. While their lineage cannot be traced and their features a bit murky, their companionship will be faithful.

In loving memory of Dutch, a loyal companion and cherished family member. With his playful spirit and unwavering loyalty, Dutch brought joy and comfort to all who knew him. His boundless energy and gentle soul left an indelible mark on our hearts, and his absence is deeply felt. Though he may no longer walk by our side, his memory will forever live on in the countless moments of laughter and love he shared with us. Rest peacefully, dear Dutch, knowing you were deeply loved and will be forever missed.

Don’t assume that your pet is protected just because she’s a homebody that doesn’t venture outdoors much. Disease-carrying mosquitos can easily get inside the home and transmit heartworm disease.
About one-quarter of cats diagnosed with heartworms are considered indoor cats, says Dr. Hatton.
“Even if your pampered pooch only goes outside for bathroom breaks or brief walks, remember—it takes just one bite from an infected mosquito to infect a pet"

The walking pattern of most cats actually isn’t unique to their species. For example, cats often walk very carefully, purposefully putting their back paws exactly where they placed their front one. This is how they’re able to stay so silent when they walk. It also means that your cat has the same gait as a camel or a giraffe!
