AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!
Hi, my name is Duchess. I'm a survivor! I was found in a homeless camp, where they asked to find me a home. While being spayed, it was discovered that I had been shot!! I will carry the bullet for the rest of my happy life, hidden behind a kidney (determined by my vet to be the safest option). I am a one year old, sweet girl, and I've become the vet staff favorite. Please contact [email protected] if you are interested in adopting me.

No tricks, no treats: That bowl of candy is for trick-or-treaters, not for Scruffy and Fluffy. Chocolate in all forms—especially dark or baking chocolate—can be very dangerous for dogs and cats. Candies containing the artificial sweetener xylitol can also cause problems. If you do suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, please call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.
Our local after hours emergency hospital is East Bay Vet Emergency at 1312 Sunset Drive in Antioch. 924-754-5001.
We wish all of our clients a safe and happy Halloween.

When opening the door for trick-or-treaters, take care that your cat or dog doesn't dart outside.

IDs, please! Always make sure your dog or cat has proper identification. If for any reason your pet escapes and becomes lost, a collar and tags and/or a microchip can be a lifesaver, increasing the chances that he or she will be returned to you.
Give us a call for more information on microchipping.

Dress-up can be a big mess-up for some pets. Please don't put your dog or cat in a costume UNLESS you know he or she loves it (yup, a few pets are real hams!). For pets who prefer their “birthday suits,” however, wearing a costume may cause undue stress.

If you do dress up your pet, make sure the costume isn't annoying or unsafe. It should not constrict the animal's movement or hearing, or impede his ability to breathe, bark or meow. Also, be sure to try on costumes before the big night. If your pet seems distressed, allergic or shows abnormal behavior, consider letting him go au naturale or donning a festive bandana.

We know that some Tail waggin' pets love to dress up (and their owners are super creative!) .. post your pictures, we'd love to see them.
