LIFE UPDATE: First off, thank you for your kindness and support these last couple of years! My family and I will be moving to Maysville at the end of July!🏡

My plan will be to schedule a time frame on Saturdays or Sundays once a month for my routine New Bern clients so that I can fit everyone into one day since it is about a 30 minute drive for me. 🐾

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out. 😊

🍓It's strawberry season! Curious if you can share your strawberry patch harvest with your pups?

Absolutely!

💗 Strawberries are sweet and dogs can taste their sweetness. Since most of the food they eat is not sweet, a change in taste can be enjoyable for them. Strawberries also have some great health benefits! Did you know these berries contain malic acid, an enzyme that increases saliva production and improves dental health?

🎃Save yourself the heartache and the unexpected expensive vet bills this Halloween by keeping all candy AWAY from your pets!

A Forbes survey found that a vet bill of $999 or less would cause 42% of pet owners to go into debt. Even more reason to make sure you are taking all necessary precautions.

Keep your pets away from chocolate, raisins, sugar-free candies with xylitol, and all candy in general, since eating the wrappers can also wreak havoc internally.

👻Stay safe, and have fun this Halloween!

✨EXCITING NEWS!!✨
At the Commissioners meeting yesterday, our new fee schedule was approved and has taken effect! The biggest & most exciting change is adding the new Lonely Hearts Club for all the animals who have been at the shelter for 50 days or longer. These animals will have 50% taken off of their adoption fees!! We hope this helps encourage more adoptions, especially for those animals who have been waiting the longest! ❤

Huge thank you to our Board of Commissioners for approving this reduced adoption fee and for continually supporting our efforts to help more animals here at the shelter.

One week until the 4th of July 🎇🎆. As part of June’s Pet Preparedness Month, make sure your pets are prepared for the upcoming holiday festivities.

06/07/2023

June is National Microchipping Month & Pet Preparedness Month.

First let’s talk microchips.

A microchip is the size of a large grain of rice. It is inserted into the loose skin on the back of the neck. The procedure is fast, safe, and typically painless.

Contact your vet to get your pet microchipped. You can also have your vet scan your pet’s ID number to look up your information to make sure it is updated.

Is your pet difficult to medicate? Do you need another set of hands to help hold or administer the medication? Are you uncomfortable giving certain medications? Do you have to pack your pet up for frequent vet visits to get medications administered? 💊💉

Whether it’s a short-term medication for an ear infection or long-term insulin administration, I am happy to help and will teach you a few tricks to make it easier.

⭐️ Please note that any medication must be prescribed by your pet’s current veterinarian with an up to date prescription in order to ensure your pet’s health and safety. ⭐️
