🎉 Happy New Year from TCVMC! 🐾

As we welcome the new year, we want to ensure your furry friends stay safe and comfortable during the celebrations. Here are some quick tips for a pet-friendly New Year’s Eve:

🐶 Fireworks Safety: Loud noises can be scary for pets! Create a safe, quiet space for them indoors, away from windows and doors.

🐱 Keep Them Calm: If your pet gets anxious, try calming aids like pheromone diffusers or a snug ThunderShirt.

🍫 Watch the Snacks: Many party foods (like chocolate, alcohol, and certain snacks) can be toxic to pets. Keep the human treats out of reach!

🦮 ID Tags & Microchips: Make sure your pet's tags and microchip information are up to date, just in case they get spooked and run off.

🎆 Let’s start the year with happy tails. Here’s to a pawsome 2025! 🥳

Hello, friends! ✨

We’ve been checking the lists and asking the experts—your pets, of course. Here’s what they had to say:

🐶 Nice List:
- You gave belly rubs on demand.
- Treat jar magically never ran out.
- You didn’t move when they fell asleep on your lap (even though you really had to use the restroom).

🐱 Naughty List:
- You dared to vacuum. 😾
- That time you tried to give them a bath… unforgivable.
- You ate your sandwich without sharing the ham.

Whether you’re naughty or nice this year, we hope your holidays are full of wagging tails, happy purrs, and all the cuddles you can handle! ❤️🎄

P.S. Don’t worry, we won’t tell Santa about the “who chewed the couch” incident… probably. 😉

💙🐾 National FIP Awareness, Research, and Education Day 🐾💙

Today, we recognize the fight against Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), a viral disease that affects cats and has historically been difficult to treat. On this important day, we celebrate the progress being made in research and the growing awareness of FIP. Thanks to the dedication of veterinary professionals and researchers, there’s hope on the horizon with new treatments that are changing the lives of cats diagnosed with this disease. 🌟

What is FIP? FIP is caused by a mutation of the feline coronavirus, which can affect the organs and immune system, leading to serious health concerns. While it was once considered a fatal diagnosis, advancements in treatment are providing new options and bringing hope to both pet owners and veterinarians.

Signs to Watch For:

Fever that doesn’t respond to antibiotics
Loss of appetite or weight
Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
Lethargy

💉 Research and Education are key in raising awareness and continuing to develop effective treatments for FIP. Let’s spread the word, support FIP research, and advocate for our feline friends who deserve a brighter future. ✨

🥾🐾 Happy National Take a Hike Day! 🐾🥾

It’s the perfect day to grab a leash, lace up those hiking boots, and hit the trails with your furry best friend! Hiking is not only great exercise for us but also offers our pets an exciting way to explore new scents, sights, and sounds in the great outdoors. 🌲🐕

Before You Head Out:

🧴 Bring plenty of water for you and your pet
🐾 Protect those paws from rough terrain
🦮 Keep your pet leashed and follow trail etiquette
🌞 Be mindful of weather and avoid overly hot or cold conditions

Share a photo of your hiking buddy in the comments below! Let’s see those happy pups and adventurous cats embracing the wild side of life! 🌄✨

🐾💦 Happy National Slobber Appreciation Day! 💦🐾

Today, we’re celebrating all those lovable, drooly pups who aren’t afraid to share the slobbery side of affection! Whether it's the classic "wet-nosed kiss" or those hilarious strings of drool during treat time, slobber is just part of the charm that makes our dogs unique. 😅💙

Drool might not be everyone’s favorite, but it’s a reminder of their enthusiasm and love. Next time your furry friend gives you a little slobbery gift, remember it’s just another way they show how much they care.

Share a photo of your drooly dog in the comments below and let’s appreciate the messiest part of pet love! 🐶💧
