Thanksgiving is a time for food, family, and fun—but let’s keep it safe for our furry friends, too! With so many tempting dishes around, it's important to know which foods are pet-friendly and which are a no-go. Plus, a few tips can help your pet stay calm and comfortable during all the holiday excitement! 🍂❤️

Here’s a quick guide for a pet-safe Thanksgiving:

• Pet-Friendly Foods 🥕: Plain turkey (no seasoning), green beans, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin (not pie filling!) are safe in moderation.

• Avoid These 🚫: Turkey bones, garlic, onions, grapes, chocolate, and anything with butter, sugar, or spices are off-limits for pets.

And don’t forget to make a cozy, quiet space for pets who may feel a bit overwhelmed by all the guests. A comfy bed, a few treats, and a favorite toy can go a long way in helping them stay calm and happy!

Does your dog get a little too excited when visitors come over? Training them to stay calm can make a big difference (and keep your guests’ clothes fur-free! 😉). With a little patience and practice, you can help your pup greet guests like a pro!

Start with these simple steps:

1. Practice “Place” or “Go to Spot” – Pick a spot (like a mat or bed) and teach them to stay there. Start small, rewarding them each time they stay in their “place” while you move around the room. Once they get it, practice while you mimic guest arrivals.

2. Stay Calm and Consistent – Dogs pick up on our energy, so stay relaxed when guests arrive. Reward your dog when they stay calm, whether it’s with a treat, a belly rub, or praise. The goal is to make calm behavior their natural reaction.

3. Gradual Introductions – For dogs who get extra excited, ask your guests to ignore them for the first few minutes. This lets your dog adjust without feeling the urge to jump up or bark. Once they’re settled, let them approach calmly, rewarding any calm behavior.

Consistency is key, so keep practicing and soon your dog will be the calmest greeter in town! 🏆🐾

Today, on National Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) Awareness, Research, and Education Day, we unite to spread awareness about FIP, a serious disease impacting thousands of cats each year. FIP results from a rare mutation of feline coronavirus, often affecting young and immune-compromised cats. Symptoms can range from lethargy and fever to severe breathing issues. Tragically, FIP is often fatal, and its elusive symptoms make early diagnosis challenging.

While there’s no definitive cure yet, emerging treatments such as GS-441524 and Remdesivir show promising results, giving hope to cat parents. Raising awareness for FIP encourages funding for essential research, which could help improve early diagnosis, develop safer treatments, and extend lives. Even small steps, like ensuring clean litterboxes and minimizing stress, may help reduce coronavirus exposure in multi-cat homes.

Whether you’re a cat parent, veterinarian, or advocate, your voice matters. By sharing FIP information, you’re helping families and pets everywhere. Together, let’s honor every precious feline affected by FIP and support those working toward a cure. 💙

As the chilly November air arrives, skin issues and allergies in dogs can still be a real concern. From lingering environmental allergies to dry, flaky skin, your pup’s comfort might need a little extra care this season.

At Woodlands Animal Care Center, we’re dedicated to keeping tails wagging through all weather! If you notice symptoms like constant scratching, bald patches, or irritated skin, these could signal underlying issues like allergies, infections, or even seasonal dryness. A quick vet check-up can help diagnose and treat any hidden skin problems, so your furry friend stays cozy and itch-free all winter long. 🐶❄️

Let’s keep their skin happy as the season changes! Schedule a skin health check-up today.

Think you know everything about pet care? Let’s put your knowledge to the test with some common myths that even the most devoted pet parents might believe! Spoiler: Not everything we hear about pet care is true, and it’s time to clear things up! 🚫🐶🐱

🔸 Myth #1: Cats don’t need as much water as dogs. Truth: Cats can be just as prone to dehydration, so keep that water bowl full and fresh!

🔸 Myth #2: Dogs age seven years for every human year. Truth: Dogs age at different rates based on their breed and size—puppyhood and senior years aren’t the same for every pup!

🔸 Myth #3: Only pets with long fur need grooming. Truth: Short-haired pets benefit from regular grooming too, which helps with shedding and skin health.

Did you know early detection is key to protecting your furry loved ones from heartworms? 🐶❤️

At Woodlands Animal Care Center, we’re committed to more than just treatments – we’re here to keep those happy tails wagging! That’s why we recommend yearly heartworm tests for all dogs, even if they’re on preventive meds. 🩺

Why yearly tests? Heartworms can be stealthy, often showing no early symptoms. A simple blood test during your pet’s wellness visit can catch heartworm proteins, helping to keep your pet safe and healthy. 🚫🐛

Remember, mosquitoes—not pets—spread heartworms. Following a clear test, our team recommends preventive meds to help shield your pet from these parasites. 🚫🦟

Book your pet’s heartworm test today and keep those tails wagging all year. 🌸🍂

It’s true! With their super-powered sense of smell, dogs can detect how scents change throughout the day. This incredible ability helps them understand the passing of time—like when it’s almost dinner or when you’re about to walk through the door. 🏠❤️

So next time your pup is waiting by the door right before you arrive, it’s not just love—it’s their amazing nose at work, keeping track of your daily routine! 🐾 Their sense of smell is so finely tuned, it’s like they have their own natural clock, powered by scents. Pretty cool, huh?📢 Have you ever noticed your dog’s uncanny ability to tell time? Share your stories in the comments below!
