🐾 Be Safe & Protect Your Pets 🐾

Keeping your pets safe starts with preparation and a little extra care:

✅ Stay Up to Date on Vaccines – Farmers, ranchers, hobbyists, and pet parents should follow the vaccination schedule recommended by their veterinarian.

✅ Pet-Proof Your Home – Secure choking hazards, lock away toxic chemicals, and remove anything dangerous to create a pet-friendly environment.

✅ ID Your Pets – Make sure collars have secure tags with your contact info. For unique pets, take clear photos in case they get loose.

✅ Have a Disaster Plan – Decide who will gather pets, how you’ll transport them, and place window/door decals showing how many people and pets are inside your home. Update regularly!

✅ Learn Pet First Aid – Quick care for minor injuries can prevent bigger problems. When in doubt, always call your veterinarian.

✅ Know Your Pet – Changes in behavior can signal illness or injury. Never give human medications without veterinary guidance.

💚 A little prevention goes a long way in keeping your furry, feathered, or scaly friends safe and healthy!

Pet Insurance myth: if you don’t use it, you lose it.
But not filing a claim doesn’t mean pet insurance went to waste. Some plans help cover preventive care like wellness exams, vaccines, and dental cleanings.
