Happy St. Patrick's Day from all of us at the San Diego Affordable Spay & Neuter Clinic! Celebrations are fun for us, but it is best to keep potential hazards and toxins out of your pet’s way. Below, you’ll find APCC’s top tips for keeping your furry friends safe, happy and healthy!
Shamrocks: These plants are not appropriate for pets and can cause stomach upset, drooling and head shaking when small amounts are ingested. If large amounts are ingested, there are more severe concerns such as a decrease in the blood calcium level and kidney damage.
Green Beer: When a pet gets into an unattended or spilled drink, they may show signs of depression and drunkenness within about an hour. This will cause difficulty walking and stomach upset. Dogs who have ingested large amounts of alcohol may have a decreased gag reflex and are at risk for aspiration pneumonia if they inhale the vomit into their lungs.
Irish Soda Bread: This bread does contain raisins which can cause kidney failure in dogs.
Just want to PAWS to wish you a Happy New Year!
All of us at the San Diego Affordable Spay & Neuter Clinic wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving. We are so grateful to have you as part of the family!
October 16 is National Feral Cat Day, so start practicing your alley cat strut and get your feline friends together. This is a day to celebrate cats of all stripes, no matter where they call home. Feral cats have been stigmatized the world over, but thanks to this holiday, we can change how we see these lovable nomads.
NATIONAL FERAL CAT DAY ACTIVITIES
1 . Take part in a Trap-Neuter-Return effort
Anyone can make a big difference by taking part in a Trap-Neuter-Return effort. This entails humanely trapping a feral cat in a boxtrap, bringing it to us to be spayed or neutered, then letting it go in its wild home. This keeps the cat safe, but is also an investment in the future to ensure the feral cat population remains contained.
2. Adopt a cat
TNR is a great method for controlling pet populations, but if adoption is a possible method for you, this is also an instrumental way to make a difference in the lives of feral cats. On October 16, there will be several shelters hosting adopt-a-thons, so find one near you and bring home a new member of the family.
3. Volunteer with Alley Cat Allies
Alley Cat Allies, which formed in 1990, has done amazing work to spread awareness about this problem and develop solutions for it. Through the organization you can help hold spay/neuter clinics and food/supply drives, encourage official governmental proclamations regarding TNR policies, and more.
Happy Easter from all of us at the San Diego Affordable Spay & Neuter Clinic!
St. Patrick’s Day is nearly here, and many are getting into the spirit to celebrate the Irish holiday! While St. Patty’s Day is typically known for fun, high energy festivities, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) wants to help make sure that your furry friends don’t get into too much mischief.
Be wary of Shamrocks - they can cause stomach upset, drooling and head shaking when small amounts are ingested. If large amounts are ingested, there are more severe concerns such as a decrease in the blood calcium level and kidney damage.
Remember, Dogs who have ingested large amounts of alcohol may have a decreased gag reflex and are at risk for aspiration pneumonia if they inhale the vomit into their lungs. Always keep your eye one your beverage and do not place it on the floor or on a low table where pets can have easy access. If you cannot always monitor your pet, it’s best to put them in a quiet, safe room until the party has come to an end.
Irish soda bread is a popular food during St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Be aware that this bread does contain raisins which can cause kidney failure in dogs. It’s best to feed furry friends they’re own veterinarian-approved healthy treats during any celebrations.

Dental disease is a serious issue in pets that affects teeth, gums, and organ health in pets. It all begins with plaque buildup containing bacteria and food particles. Signs of dental disease include broken or loose teeth, bad breath, painful and bleeding mouth, refusal, or inability to eat and drink, and drooling. Keeping up with your pet’s dental care will not only prevent tooth loss and bad breath, but it will also prevent oral pain, organ damage and any worsening dental diseases. Check out this short video showing how deep pockets can lead to painful root damage in teeth, which can be shown on a dental Xray.
