🍂🐾 Holiday Pet Safety Tips for the Festive Season! 🐾🍂

Just a friendly reminder we will be closed Tuesday, Dec. 24th and Wednesday Dec. 25th. We hope that you have a safe and happy holiday season!

'Tis the season for food, family, and fun festivities – and we know our fur babies join in on the fun as members of the family! Here are some friendly tips to keep their pawliday season healthy and safe:

1. Keep That Turkey and Ham Out of Reach! 🦃 – The skin, bones, and savory seasonings can upset pets’ stomachs and lead to serious health issues. Make sure trash is secure to prevent curious paws from sneaking leftovers.

2. Beware of Dangerous Sides 🥮 – Stuffing, mashed potatoes, and other rich sides often have garlic, onions, raisins, and other ingredients harmful to our furry friends. Keep a safe snack stash for them, like pet-safe veggies!

3. Mind the Sweet Stuff 🍰 – Pies and treats made with chocolate, xylitol, or certain nuts can be toxic to pets. Drinks can also contain dangers, such as coffee or alcohol.

4. Be Cautious with Decorations and Plants🎄– Tinsel, ornaments, strings of lights, and dreidels can pose choking or injury hazards. Holiday plants like poinsettias, holly, and mistletoe are toxic to your fur baby if ingested.

5. Watch the Door🚪– With guests coming and going, pets may try to make a dash outside. Make sure they’re safely secured or have an updated microchip! If your fur baby is nervous with company, keep them in a safe and confined space with some of their favorite comforting toys.

6. Skip the Fireworks 🎆 – The loud booms and bright lights can scare your pet, but we can help! Call our office 816-931-4930 to discuss calming medications to ease their evenings when neighbors choose to take part in loud festivities.

We hope you find these tips helpful to create a safe and fun season. Your team at Union Hill Animal Hospital wishes you and your furry family member a joyful holiday season!🎉

🎃 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!🎃🐾
