🎃 Halloween Pet Safety Tips! 🐾 🎃

The team at Union Hill Animal Hospital wishes everyone a fun and safe Halloween! This time of year can be fun for humans, but it can be a bit scary for our furry babies! 🐶🐱 Help keep your pets safe and happy this spooky season with these tips:

1. Keep Candy Out of Reach 🍬🚫 – Chocolate (in all forms, especially dark or baking chocolate) and xylitol (found in sugar-free candies) are toxic to pets! Make sure treats stay where paws can't reach.

2. Watch Those Costumes! 👗🐕 – If you dress up your furry family member, ensure the costume fits properly and doesn’t restrict movement, breathing, or vision, or cause undue stress. Look for pieces they could chew on or get tangled in (this applies to the human's costumes too).

3. Create a Safe Space 🏡 – With the doorbell ringing and strangers at the door, Halloween can be overwhelming for some of our furry friends. Set up a quiet, secure room where your pet can relax away from the excitement if they are not taking part in festivities, be sure to include some of their favorite toys.

4. Up-to-Date ID Tags & Microchips 🏷️ – With so much commotion, there’s a higher risk of pets slipping out the door. And with the additional people on the streets dressed in costumes, it can make for a scary experience. Make sure your fur baby has proper identification in case they escape so you are quickly reunited!❣

👻 Wishing you a safe and spooktacular Halloween from Union Hill Animal Hospital! If your pet experiences any issues, our team is here to help! Happy trick-or-treating!🎃🐾

Hello friends, this is Dr. Belew. We are well into the heat of summer already! I wanted to share a few important tips and updates with you

With the upcoming Fourth of July holiday, I hope you are able to find fun ways to safely celebrate! If your furry kiddo's partying gets out of hand, the emergency and urgent care clinics will be open.

🐾 We will be CLOSED Thursday July 4th and open Friday July 5th normal hours.

Here are a few tips to help with the loud booms (both the storms and fireworks).

🐾 Desensitizing tips:
1. Place one cotton ball in each ear during the loud stimulus. This will help muffle some of the sound.
2. Giving your fur baby a quiet, safe haven like a bathroom or basement can also help.
3. Play calming music (many options on YouTube).

🐾 We are open today until 6 pm, call if you need meds! We have many options (Sileo gel, Trazodone, Gabapentin) and would love to discuss the best treatment options for your fur baby.
