Hey, pet parents! As the snow blankets our beautiful community, we want to see your furry friends enjoying the winter wonderland! Share your favorite photos of your pets having a blast in the snow in the comments below! 📸❤️

While we love the winter fun, remember that safety comes first! Here are some quick tips to keep your pets safe during snowy adventures:

1. Check Their Paws: Ice and snow can get stuck between their paw pads, which can be uncomfortable and even painful. Be sure to wipe their paws after outdoor playtime!

2. Watch for Salt and Chemicals: De-icing agents can be harmful if ingested. Try to keep your pets away from treated areas.

3. Bundle Up: If your pup has a short coat, consider a cozy sweater or jacket to keep them warm during extended outings.

4. Stay Hydrated: Cold weather can be deceiving! Ensure your pets have fresh water available at all times.

We can’t wait to see your snow-loving pets! Stay safe and enjoy the winter wonderland! ❄️

🚨Update!🚨
We will be closed tomorrow (Thursday 1/23).

Attention!

We wanted to let you know that Guyton Animal Hospital will be closing tomorrow at 4:30 PM due to the expected snow and icy conditions. We will reopen Thursday morning, and we appreciate your understanding as we prioritize the safety of our staff and clients.

Safety Tip: With snowy weather upon us, it’s crucial to keep your pets safe and warm indoors. Cold temperatures and icy surfaces can lead to paw injuries and other health issues. Here are a few tips to ensure your furry friends stay comfortable:

1. Limit Outdoor Time: Short bathroom breaks are fine, but keep walks brief.
2. Warm Up: Make sure your pets have a cozy spot inside to stay warm and snuggled.
3. Watch for Ice: If your dog needs to go outside, be aware of icy patches that can be hazardous for their paws.
4. Keep Hydrated: Ensure your pets have access to fresh water to stay hydrated, even in the cold.

As we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, let us also remember the importance of kindness and compassion—not only to each other but to our beloved pets as well.

Stay safe, stay warm, and we look forward to seeing you on Thursday!

🎄🐾 Holiday Foods: Safe or Dangerous for Your Dog? 🐾🎄

The holiday season often comes with yummy treats, but not all foods are safe for pets. Some can be toxic or upsetting to their stomachs.

While it's tempting to share your festive feast, always remember to only feed your dog these SAFE foods in small amounts. (Treat these foods as a TREAT, not a meal!)

When in doubt, leave it out! Stick to your dog’s regular food or trusted dog treats—always prioritize their health over holiday indulgence!

We are running low on bedding for our patients at the clinic and would love if you could donate gently used towels or blankets you may have! Please, NO comforters, pillows, or bed sheets (we have plenty of those!) Larger towels and thick (e.g. fleece) blankets would be best!
