TAKE THE FEAR OUT OF FIREWORKS!

Here are a few tips to keep your pets safe this Independence Day:

-Get a big workout in – Take your dog for a longer walk than normal or play with your cat for a long period of time to wear them out

-Divert their attention – give them a new bone or toy to play with

-Drown the noise out and Provide a safe space – give them a place (such as a crate, closet or closed bedroom) that is cool with AC so they can feel safe, close the blinds and turn on the TV or relaxing music

-Leave your pets at home when you go to parties, fireworks displays, parades and other gatherings. Loud fireworks, unfamiliar places and crowds can all be very frightening to pets, and there’s great risk of pets becoming spooked and running away.

-Avoid the urge to feed your pets table scraps or other foods intended for people. Be especially careful to keep them away from these common foods that are actually toxic:
*Xylitol-containing products (xylitol is an artificial sweetener often found in sugar-free candy and gum);
*Chocolate (although some types of chocolate are not as toxic as others, it’s safer to keep your pet away from all types of chocolate);
*Onions
*Grapes and raisins
*Fatty and fried foods
*Macadamia nuts
*Avocados
Never leave alcoholic drinks unattended where pets can reach them

-Remember that too much sun and heat (and humidity!) can be dangerous to pets. Make sure they have access to shady spots and plenty of water when outdoors, and be mindful of the signs that a pet may be overheating.

- contact your veterinarian if your pet needs anxiety medication to get through the firework season

April is National Heartworm Awareness Month

How Do Pets Get the Disease?

Heartworm disease is transmitted when a mosquito bites an infected animal and then bites your pet. Heartworm larvae are circulated through your pet's body via the bloodstream and eventually become immature or mature worms.

After traveling through your dog's body for months, the larvae begin to grow into long, white worms that look like cooked spaghetti. Those that reach the blood vessels of the heart and lungs cause the most damage.

Male heartworms measure 4 to 6 inches in length, while females may be as long as 10 to 12 inches, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA notes that dogs can be infected with one to 250 worms. Each worm can live 5 to 7 years.

How Can Heartworm Disease Be Prevented?

Oral & topical heartworm medications reduce your pet's heartworm risk. Your veterinarian can help you decide which type of medication is best for your pet. Oral and topical medications must be given or applied every month.

It's best to give your pet heartworm medication year-round, even if you live in a cold climate, as mosquito season may not always follow the same pattern every year. Providing constant protection ensures that your furry friend will never have to face this debilitating disease.
