๐Ÿ“ฃ FRIENDLY REMINDER ๐Ÿ“ฃ

With Winter Games being this weekend, we would like to remind everyone that โ€œGet Out Of Jail FREEโ€ cards are only allowed in Monopoly. They cannot be used to bail you or your pets out of jail, so please stay safe and keep a close eye on those babies! ๐Ÿ•

We know itโ€™s even more fun when our furry family members get to join us for festivities, but with that comes the risk of them slipping away in that 1 second we take our eyes off them! ๐Ÿ™ƒ(while we love making new pet friends, we would like to do it far away from our animal impound)

โ€ผ๏ธIN THE EVENT of a runaway rascal, please make sure you have the following information handy:

1. Proof of Ownership
-this can include, but is not limited to: pictures, microchip information, vet records, etc.
2. Proof of *current* Rabies and Distemper vaccination status
-this is required by the State of Iowa

PLEASE NOTE: We legally cannot return the animal unless the two requirements listed above are met

Please have a safe and fun-filled Winter Games!!

Weather Alert!๐Ÿšจ

We have cold weather coming!

As temperatures drop, it's crucial to ensure our furry friends stay safe and warm! ๐Ÿพ

โžก๏ธ Bring outdoor pets inside whenever possible!
They'll be safer and much more comfortable indoors. Cats and dogs should be kept inside during cold weather. It's a common belief that dogs and cats are more resistant than people to cold weather because of their fur, but it's untrue. Like people, cats and dogs are susceptible to frostbite and hypothermia and should be kept inside. Longer-haired and thick-coated dog breeds, such as huskies and other dogs bred for colder climates, are more tolerant of cold weather; but no pet should be left outside for long periods of time in below-freezing weather.

โžก๏ธ Ensure pets have extra food in the winter months. Pets burn extra energy by trying to stay warm in wintertime. Feeding them a little bit more can provide much-needed calories.

โžก๏ธMake sure that they have unlimited access to fresh, non-frozen water (by changing the water frequently or using a pet-safe, heated water bowl) Making sure they have plenty of water to drink will help keep them well-hydrated and their skin less dry.

โžก๏ธ Check under your car hood before starting the engine. Feral cats often hide there to stay warm.

Help us keep all animals safe this winter!

We hope everybody checks their labels before giving their doggos treats!! We will be going through our stock of peanut butter again just to be safe, and we recommend you do the same! :)

Xylitol can be found in a lot of products and it's now being labeled as Birch Sugar because it's extracted from Birch bark. It's toxic to dogs, cats and ferrets. Check your peanut butter ingredients before you give your animals any and if they get into something they shouldn't have, read the ingredients to know if you should get them to the vet right away!
