Nutmeg is already crushing her New Year’s resolution! 🐾 While she's committed to getting healthier with a strict diet (yes, she's on a treat limit!), Nutmeg’s priorities are clear: more naps, more cuddles, and maybe just a tiny bit more treat time. 😻 It’s all about balance, right?

🎇 A New Year’s Reminder from the Staff at Whitesburg Animal Hospital 🎆

As we ring in the New Year, we want to remind you to keep your pets safe during the celebrations. Here are a few tips from all of us at Whitesburg Animal Hospital:

-Loud Noises and Fireworks: Fireworks can cause anxiety in pets. Create a quiet, safe space for them and consider calming aids if needed.
-Alcohol and Party Foods: Many holiday treats are toxic to pets, including chocolate, alcohol, onions, and grapes. Be sure to keep them out of reach!
-Decorations and Supplies: Tinsel, balloons, and small ornaments can be choking hazards. Keep a watchful eye on your pets around decorations.
-Stress from Guests: The noise and excitement of guests can be stressful for pets. Provide them with a calm, quiet space to relax away from the chaos.
-Escape Risk: Keep doors and gates closed to prevent your pet from slipping out in the confusion. Ensure your pets are wearing collars with up-to-date contact information to help them find their way home quickly.

Also, just a pawsome reminder that we’ll be paws-itively closed tomorrow for New Year's Day! 🎉 But don’t worry, we’ll be back on January 2nd, ready to spoil your fur babies and keep them safe and sound during our regular hours! 🐾💫 From all of us at Whitesburg Animal Hospital, we wish you a tail-wagging, whisker-twitching, and purrfectly fur-tastic New Year! 🐶🐱🎆

With the holiday season quickly approaching, we at Whitesburg Animal Hospital want to remind everyone to keep their pets safe and healthy during this festive time. To spread some holiday cheer, our office cat Nutmeg is already enjoying her new cat trees—an early present that’s brought her plenty of joy! We hope your pets enjoy the season just as much, and we’ve put together some important safety tips to help ensure they stay safe among all the holiday excitement.

Holiday Décor Hazards:
Toxic Plants: Keep lilies, holly, mistletoe, and amaryllis away from pets.

Pine Needles: Clean up regularly to avoid intestinal blockages.
Ribbons & Tinsel: Can cause severe obstructions in cats if ingested.
Salt Dough Ornaments: Toxic if eaten.
Snow Globes: Broken ones may contain toxic antifreeze.
Candles: Use battery-operated alternatives to prevent burns and fires.
Potpourri: Can cause chemical burns, especially in cats.
Electrical Cords: Tape them down to avoid chewing and electrocution.

Toxic Human Foods:
Chocolate: Harmful, especially dark chocolate.
Xylitol: Found in sugar-free products, can cause liver failure and seizures.
Grapes & Raisins: Dangerous, causing kidney damage.
Yeast Dough: Causes bloating and alcohol poisoning.
Spices & Garlic: Can cause gastrointestinal issues.
Macadamia Nuts: Cause tremors and weakness in dogs.
Alcohol: Even small amounts can be deadly.

By keeping an eye on your décor, food, and potential emergencies, you can help ensure your pets stay safe and healthy throughout the holiday season.
