🔥🐾 Today is National Pet Fire Safety Day! 🔥🐾
Did you know that pets can accidentally start fires at home? 🏠 Here are a few tips to keep your furry friends safe:
1️⃣ Keep pets away from open flames such as candles, stovetops, and fireplaces.
2️⃣ Use flameless candles instead of traditional ones to avoid curious paws and tails.
3️⃣ Secure or cover stove knobs to prevent pets from accidentally turning them on.
4️⃣ Have a pet alert window cling to notify firefighters of pets inside your home in case of emergency.
Remember, preparedness is key! Stay safe and keep your pets protected. 🐶🐱 If you have any questions or concerns about pet safety, don't hesitate to reach out to us at 985-845-7484 . We're here to help!

OA in Cats
We've covered signs of osteoarthritis in dogs so now lets talk about OA in cats ✨
Did you know that cats can start developing OA as young as 6 years old? With felines we have to watch their behaviors carefully since they are so skilled at hiding their pain! Some signs of OA in our feline friends are as follows :
💙Difficulty Jumping up & down
💙Difficulty climbing stairs
💙Difficulty chasing moving objects
💙Decreased activity
💙Increased vocalization
💙Change in posture
💙Change in social behaviors
💙Check out the attached video for a visual example!
If your kitty is experiencing any of these signs we are here for you! Schedule an appointment to discuss OA with one of our veterinarians so we can help relieve your cat from OA pain. Give us a call at 985-845-7484 or you can even schedule an appointment online through our website! 🐱
