Dia de los Muertos for our beloved pets is October 27 🐾. This is a Mexican tradition that helps pets that have passed through the 🌈 bridge, visit us on this day.

It is common for altars to be created filled with toys, food, and things that the pets liked while living in this world. A picture of the pet/s is placed on the altar to help guide them to the home where they were loved and cared for in this world. Cempasuchil flowers (marigolds) are placed on the altars as well, this is believed to guide the spirits (pets or human).

What a great way to honor and remember our beloved pets 🏵.

Add a picture of you beloved pet/s that passed the 🌈 bridge to honor and remember them on this special day.

Happy 4th of July!!! 🇺🇸

Just a quick reminder to keep your pets safe! Remember to keep in mind some pets are scared of fireworks and may run away due to the noise.

Make sure your pet had plenty of activity before the fireworks start, that they are kept indoors or in a safe place. Keep their collar and tags on them in case they run away. Give them a safe and comfortable place for them to relax in and if need claming meds please contact your veterinarian.

Have a safe and joyful day ❤️💙🤍

*** We will br closed Friday 4th and 5th of July.
