🎉 Ringing in the New Year with 24/7 Care & Pet Safety Tips 🎉

As you celebrate the start of 2025, we’re here to ensure your pets stay safe and healthy. Emergencies don’t take holidays, and neither do we – Upstate Vet is open 24/7, including New Year’s Eve and Day! 🐾✨

🐕 New Year’s Eve Pet Safety Tips:
-Keep pets indoors during fireworks – loud noises can scare them and cause stress.
-Avoid party hazards like chocolate, alcohol, and other toxic foods.
-Secure decorations like streamers and confetti – they may look fun but can be harmful if ingested.
-Update ID tags and microchip info, just in case your pet gets startled and escapes.

From our team to yours, we wish you a happy, safe, and paw-some New Year filled with wagging tails, purrs, and lots of love. ❤️

Meet Daisy Mae, a spirited 10-year-old pup who loves adventuring with her favorite human. One morning, she came limping back after her potty break, and her mom feared the worst. The limping persisted, leading to radiographs that confirmed Daisy Mae needed TPLO surgery.

Now post-surgery, Daisy Mae is doing fantastic and getting closer to hitting the trails again with her mom. We can’t wait to see this dynamic duo back in action! 🐕
