🐱✨ March 28 is Respect Your Cat Day! ✨🐱

Today, we celebrate the independent, curious, and oh-so-mysterious world of cats! 🐾 Whether they rule your home like royalty or demand affection only on their terms, they deserve all the love and respect.

💡 Did you know? Cats can sleep up to 16 hours a day, their purring has healing properties, and they have an extra organ that helps them "taste" scents in the air! 🤯🐾

Want to keep your feline friend feeling their best? Regular vet check-ups, proper nutrition, and enrichment (like scratching posts & window perches) help keep them happy and healthy—especially senior kitties! 🩺🐾

🐱 Drop a photo of your cat in the comments and tell us how they like to be respected! 👑

🌸🐾 Spring Cleaning Do’s & Don’ts for Pet Owners! 🐾🌸

✅ Do:
✔ Use pet-safe cleaners—harsh chemicals can be harmful!
✔ Store cleaning supplies out of paws’ reach.
✔ Wash pet beds, toys, and food bowls regularly.

❌ Don’t:
❌ Use essential oils without checking if they’re pet-safe.
❌ Leave out mop water or open trash cans—curious pets might take a sip!
❌ Forget to check your yard for toxic plants and hidden dangers.

A clean home is a happy home—just keep it pet-friendly! 🏡🐶🐱

🚨Hidden Danger: Xylitol & Pets!🚨

Continuing Pet Poison Prevention week...

Xylitol is a deadly toxin to dogs and is hiding in more household items than you think! From medications and dental products to food and personal care items, even a small amount can cause severe low blood sugar, liver failure, or death in pets.

⚠️ Always check labels and keep xylitol-containing products out of reach!

📞If your pet ingests xylitol, call your vet or ASPCA Poison Control immediately: (888) 426-4435

🌸 Spring Has Sprung—But Beware of Hidden Pet Dangers! 🌸

As the weather warms up, it’s time for fresh flowers, gardening, and outdoor adventures—but some seasonal hazards could put your pet at risk! Here are a few common spring toxins to watch out for:

🚫 Toxic Plants: Lilies (especially for cats!), azaleas, daffodils, and tulips can cause serious health issues if ingested.
🧼 Lawn & Garden Chemicals: Fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides can be harmful to curious pets. Always keep them out of reach!
🍇 Spring Foods: Grapes, onions, chocolate, and xylitol (found in sugar-free gum) are toxic to pets. Keep Easter treats and picnic foods away from sneaky snouts!
🐍 Critters & Bites: Warmer weather brings out snakes, bees, and other critters that can pose a danger to your pet. Stay vigilant on hikes and in the yard.

If you suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, call us immediately! Quick action can make all the difference.
