Global Cat Day is a day to bring awareness and to protect our feline friends. More than any other shelter animal, cats and kittens face euthanization at a much higher rate. However, programs such as trap, neuter, and release (TNR) are making it possible for cats to live full and healthy lives right in our neighborhoods.

Pets come in all shapes and sizes. Today on National Pet Obesity Awareness Day, we want to remind pet owners to keep their furry friends healthy. If you notice your pet is getting a little plump, it's time to evaluate if you need to start some new habits aka more walks, fewer sweet treats, and maybe a visit to the vet to make sure your pet is healthy as they can be!

October is Animal Safety & Protection Month. This month (and every month) is a time to recognize safety measures you should take to protect your pet. Check out the below tips:

🐾 Be proactive. Keep all animals up-to-date on immunizations.
🐾 Pet-proof your home. Remove or secure choking hazards and toxic chemicals.
🐾 Identify your animals. Place tags securely on collars and even label collars with your contact information.
🐾 In a disaster, have a plan. Who will be responsible for locating each animal in the house? How will you transport them? If it is a fire, human life takes priority. Place decals on windows and doors with the number of humans and each kind and number of pets residing in the home.
🐾 Learn basic first aid. Caring for your animal at home will prevent a minor injury from becoming severe. Always call your veterinarian if you are unsure.
🐾 Know your animal. If your animal’s behavior changes, watch for signs of illness. Is he injured or spent too much time in the heat? Contact your veterinarian before giving human over-the-counter medications.
