If your pet is chipped, make sure their information is up to date. To help keep pets close to their loved ones, share this post and remind your friends to !

Did you know? 🐾
At Pender Exotics, we're passionate about helping the wildlife in our community. If you come across an injured wild animal or a baby that appears to be abandoned, don't try to rescue it yourself. Instead, contact your local animal control officers right away and provide them with the location details. They'll safely transport the animal to our facility. Once the animal arrives, our team will thoroughly assess its condition and provide the necessary treatments or stabilization measures. Our goal is to ensure the animal's well-being and prepare it for the next step in its journey.
We collaborate with the whose transporters will pick up the stabilized animal for further rehabilitation or, if possible, the immediate release back to it’s home, the area where it was found.
By working together with animal control and wildlife organizations, we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of these amazing wild creatures and contribute to the preservation of our local ecosystem.

Is your pet scooting or licking their rear? It could be their a**l glands.

A**l glands are located on the rear of dogs and cats. The glands produce an oily, fishy-smelling fluid that helps with scent marking. Sometimes these glands can get impacted or infected.

Soft, consistent stool, as well as allergies, are common causes of irritation. If your pet is scooting, licking excessively, or showing signs of discomfort around their rear end, contact us! We will help to identify the cause and determine the best course of treatment.
