Halloween candy = a treat for you, NOT for pets! 🍫🍬🚫🐶😺

Trick or Treat!!! Halloween is a time for goodies. Caramel apples, pumpkin donuts, chocolates, and candy corn make for a delicious holiday. It is well known that chocolate can be toxic for our furry friends, but sugary candy can also pose risks for toxicity. Too much sugar can cause stomach upset, excessive thirst, and in severe cases electrolyte changes. If your concerned about a tasty treat your pet has consumed, please reach out to your local DVM or the ASPCA animal poison control for further help.

Happy HOWL-ween! Keep the spooky fun for the humans and the scary far away from your pets! Three essential tips to keep your pets safe this Halloween:

🍫 No candy for pets! Chocolate and xylitol (found in sugar-free treats) are highly toxic to pets. Keep all goodies out of reach - and watch those sneaky paws!
👻 Costume caution! Not all pets love dressing up. If they do, make sure costumes fit comfortably without restricting movement or breathing. Safety over style!
🏡 Stress-free zone! Trick-or-treaters and doorbells can overwhelm pets. Set up a cozy, quiet space where they can relax, and make sure they don’t dash out the door.

As a reminder, our partner, UrgentVet, is open late should your pet need care after-hours! Monday-Friday 3:00 PM – 11:00 PM and Saturday & Sunday 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM. Easily save your spot online at www.UrgentVet.com!

We want to give a big thank you to Destiny! Destiny has been with us now for a little over 7 months and she has not only gotten to know and love all of our daytime playtime and boarder babies but has started on her journey of learning to become a veterinary technician not only helping the doctors in rooms with exams and treatments but striving to learn more each day. We appreciate you Destiny! 💜💜

Today I want to give a huge thank you to our wonderful groomer, Stephanie. Stephanie has a near magical way with all the pets that come into her care. She can calm their fears and has the patience and soft, kind words for those babies that may be a bit nervous. Knowing that not only do you have the kindest heart and professional care for all the fur babies, you are never busy to stop what you are doing to make sure you know exactly what it clients are hoping for. Thank you for all you do, Stephanie. We appreciate you.
