Everyone is taking about the winter weather headed this way soon. We wanted to post something to catch your eye, and get you thinking just a little extra, regarding your pets. Is there anything you can do (that you're not already doing every day) to make them more comfortable when the temps go down below freezing, then keep going DOWN?
Can you protect their feet with booties or paw balm? Can you put a warm sweater or coat on them? Can you SAFELY place a heater or heat lamp inside their shelter? Have you provided a heated bowl for their water? Can you limit their time outside? Give them a little extra food, since they're burning more energy to stay warm?
Please think of these questions as thought-starters, and if there's something you can do, please don't wait! We all want our pets to stay safe and comfortable in the coming days. Feel free to comment below, and please keep this a "judgement-free zone".

It's been cold and it's going to stay cold. You know that already. Just a friendly reminder to make sure your outside pets have a shelter from the wind, and they always have fresh un-frozen water as well as dry, warm bedding. If you can't, bring them inside. Or, make other arrangements to keep them warm. And this is true for outside and inside pets: you might need to increase their food supply a bit, to make up for the extra energy they burn when outside. Have we left out anything that should be addressed when the cold comes and won't go away?

We hope that you, our friends and customers - and your furry families - have a HAPPY and HEALTHY New Year!

The holidays are often filled with delicious treats, but many can be dangerous for our furry friends. Keep your pets safe by avoiding these common holiday foods:

🚫 Chocolate & Sweets: Chocolate, especially dark and baking chocolate, contains theobromine, which is highly toxic to pets. Sugar-free candies and gum often contain xylitol, which can cause life-threatening drops in blood sugar and liver damage in dogs.

🚫 Turkey Bones & Fat Trimmings: While it’s tempting to share scraps, turkey bones can splinter and cause choking or severe internal injuries. Fat trimmings can lead to pancreatitis, a painful and potentially deadly condition.

🚫 Onions, Garlic, & Chives: Found in stuffing, casseroles, and gravies, these ingredients can damage your pet’s red blood cells, leading to anemia.

🚫 Grapes & Raisins: Just a few can cause kidney failure in dogs. Watch out for these hidden in desserts or snacks.

🚫 Macadamia Nuts: These are highly toxic to dogs and can cause symptoms like muscle tremors, vomiting, and lethargy.

🚫 Alcohol: Even small amounts can lead to dangerous symptoms, including vomiting, tremors, or worse.

Stick to pet-safe treats and keep festive foods out of reach! 🎁🐕🐈 Share to spread the word and protect our furry family members! ❤️

Join us in observing the International Day of Veterinary Medicine today!
Veterinary medicine can be essential in the health and wellness of your pets. The most gratifying ways that you can participate in today's event are these:
1) Make and keep your appointments for annual exams!
2) Keep up on your pets' medications, especially including preventative medication for fleas, ticks, and heartworm for dogs. For cats, annual rabies vaccine, upper respiratory/distemper vaccine every three years, and leukemia vaccine every three years for cats that go outside.
3) Make sure that your pet is identified at all times with a collar and tag, or even better, a microchip. They need YOU to manage their safety and health care, but that's difficult if they're lost, at a shelter, or end up in someone else's home!
4) Health and wellness care can allow you to enjoy longer-lasting relationships with your pets!
Celebrate the Veterinary Medical personnel around the world today by sharing this post. ❤️
