How to prepare your pets for fireworks

Dogs and cats have a much higher sense of hearing than us humans do. While we may hear fireworks as musical pops, our pets experience them with much higher intensity. 🎆

As with thunder and lightning, the loud booms of fireworks are very unpredictable, causing lots of confusion for our pets. Cats and dogs cannot understand what is happening when they hear fireworks which instinctively triggers their fight-or-flight response to unknown threats. 🙀

When you know fireworks will soon be lighting up the sky nearby, act quickly to prepare before the event date using our guide: https://www.thrivepetcare.com/thrive-guide/how-to-calm-pets-during-fireworks

5 Dangerous Dog Toxins

Dogs’ strong sense of smell and taste can often lead them to eat things they shouldn’t. Some dogs are more prone to doing this than others, but all dogs have the potential to eat something that could be dangerous, whether it’s toxic human foods and medications or something non-edible, like detergents or plastic. This is just a shortlist of everyday things to monitor your pet around – as a pet owner, it’s a good idea to educate yourself on household hazards and ways to pet-proof your space. But if you suspect they’ve eaten something they shouldn’t have, don’t delay. Bring them to your closest emergency vet as soon as possible.

National Cupcake Day!! 🧁🧁

Human Snacks and Weight Gain in Pets

Here’s an eye-popping fact 👀: Just ONE cup of whole milk given to your cat as a snack is like us eating 5¾ cupcakes in one sitting! 🧁 🙀

If we eat a few cupcakes in one day on occasion, it is not going to have a large impact on our overall health. However, when consumed in those quantities regularly, in addition to our regular meals, weight gain is very likely. The same is true for our pets.

Why does my pet need an annual wellness exam?

New and experienced pet owners alike often ask their veterinarian, "Why does my pet need an annual wellness exam?" While many caregivers have a good understanding of illness symptoms that signal a vet visit, routine checkups outside of sick visits are just as essential for helping your pet live a long and happy life with you.

Halloween from the pets at Saginaw 🎃🎃

10/25/2024

that xylitol (aka birch or wood sugar) a common sweetener found in sugar-free gum, candies, and some peanut butter brands, is toxic to pets, especially dogs? Eating even a small amount of xylitol can cause a sudden release of insulin in dogs, leading to low blood sugar, seizures, and even liver failure. Keep your pets safe by double-checking ingredient labels and avoiding feeding them human snacks and desserts. If you suspect your dog has ingested a sugar substitute, take them to an emergency vet ASAP.

Halloween is right around the corner! 👻👽

While it's a tasty treat for us, chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine, chemical compounds that dogs and cats can't metabolize effectively. This can lead to symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, rapid heart rate, and in severe cases, seizures or even death. Keep chocolate out of reach of dogs and cats, and if you suspect your pet may have ingested anything containing cocoa, seek emergency vet care immediately.
