Happy Memorial Day! 💙

Have a safe and enjoyable weekend with your pets!

Keep your pets safe this Memorial Day Weekend with these 5 tips! 🎉

⭐ Beat the heat by offering plenty of water and access to shady areas, especially during the hottest parts of the day.

⭐ Don’t let your pet eat fatty foods from the grill or toxic foods like grapes, alcohol, avocados, onions, or chocolate. Remember to quickly dispose of items your dog may be tempted to ingest like corn cobs, bones, and wooden skewers.

⭐ Keep pets away from fireworks and provide a safe, calm environment if your pets are sensitive to loud noises.

⭐ Always keep identification on your pets in case they escape your house or yard. If your pet is microchipped, make sure the information is up to date.

⭐ Never leave your pet unsupervised around pools, lakes, and other bodies of water. If taking your pet with you on a boat, use a floatation device. Also, try to keep your pet from drinking pool water, which can contain potentially harmful chemicals.

❤️ As a reminder, we are open 24/7 for emergencies.

“Luke” came in for not feeling good for a day or two and blood in his urine. We found some calculi in his urethra that were causing the problem. The experienced ER vets at NDVESH were able to retropulse the stones back into the bladder and remove them surgically.

Luke’s feeling much better today and says thank you! 😄
