Did you know? It's ! ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ’Œ

Today's the perfect day to write something appreciative and meaningful for someone who means a lot to you. (Or maybe someone who means a lot to your pet!)

It's no secret that expressing gratitude has a positive effect on both sides, whether you're exchanging the sentiment with a friend, a coworker, a loved one, someone you simply crossed paths with, or even a furry pal. ๐Ÿถโ™ฅ

We at CFA would like to take this special day to thank you for all your support and involvement this year. To everyone in our community, just by being a part of what we do, you yourself have played a huge role in the help we can provide. From our team, every individual we serve, and all the animals in need - we are so grateful to have you in our corner! ๐Ÿพ

Yesterday the amazing CFA Pet Food Bank team ended 2024 strong with the last pet food bank of the year. We had stations available in Olympia, McCleary, and Elma to make sure pets in need had access to necessities for the winter break.

An important reminder about annual blood work from CFA Veterinary Partner Brady Veterinary Hospital. ๐Ÿ‘€

Getting annual check-ins with blood work for your pet can provide your veterinarian with important health info about your animal pal. These annual appointments can be used to find diseases, and they allow you and your vet to monitor internal changes and/or disease progression.

You can read more about the ins and outs of annual check-ins and blood work in these PetMD articles! โฌ‡๏ธ

Routine physical exams are great for checking your petโ€™s heart, lungs, eyes, and ears, but what about their internal health?

Annual blood panels help us assess internal health including liver and kidney function, metabolic disease, and blood counts. Diagnostic tests provide valuable insight into changes in their health over time and allow us to identify illnesses early which can lead to faster treatment and often a better prognosis

๐Ÿ’‰ Schedule your petโ€™s wellness exam with us so we can run blood panels and help keep your pet healthy as can be!

Yesterday CFA had a special visit from Cynthia with 4legz who donated 140 lbs of dog treats to help stock the CFA Pet Food Bank through the winter and spring season! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Cynthia and her partner founded 4Legz All Natural Dog Treats in 2004. They were inspired to develop all-natural dog treats after adopting Cynthia's hearing service dog, Odie, who had severe food allergies. Cynthia couldn't find any safe treats for Odie, so as any of us animal lovers would, Cynthia took matters into her own hands. The rest is 4legz history!

But, the love Cynthia and the 4Legz team have for animals doesn't stop with their own pets. 4Legz has consistently supported many animal shelters, rescues, and welfare organizations. This month alone, Cynthia has traveled across the Puget Sound and beyond delivering HUNDREDS of pounds of treats to local animal groups! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Thank you 4legz for supporting the CFA Pet Food Bank, contributing to the CFA Toast for Tails event, and helping animals throughout the region! We are so grateful to have you in our corner. If you have a dog and are looking to try a new treat that helps support local animals, ask your local pet supply store if they carry 4Legz All Natural Dog Treats! ๐Ÿพโค

Just in time for the holidays, December 18th is ! โ„๏ธ๐Ÿพ

Today is the day to admire the beauty of snowflakes. You won't ever find two different snowflakes that look the same, and that's pretty amazing! The wonders of nature are always here to surprise us, every season of the year.

Snow is eye-catching, gorgeous, and something our pets can have a whole lot of fun with - even if they're just staring out the window and watching it fall.

It may not snow too often here in the rainy Pacific Northwest, but if you have any cute photos of your pets playing in the snow, today is a great day to share them! We'll start it off - here are two pictures of CFA Board Member Alison D.'s dog River having a blast in a flurry of flakes! ๐ŸŒจ

Check out Frank - he recently got his ears cleaned by CFA Veterinary Partner West Olympia Pet Hospital! ๐Ÿ‘€

Keeping your pup's ears clean is important for their health and happiness. Those ears are critical for navigating the world around them, and clean ears can help prevent potential health issues!

It can be intimidating to start cleaning your dog's ears - especially if you haven't done it before or if your dog has A LOT of ear, like Frank! Your vet can give you advice on how frequently your dog's ears should be cleaned, and since they know your pet they can usually guide you on how to do it and what products to use.

-Make a safe place for your pet to hide
-Check your yard for gaps/holes in the fencing
-Go for your walks earlier in the day
-Don't leave your pet unsupervised in the yard at night
-If your pet is anxious, consider using a harness instead of a standard collar
-Take up-to-date photos of your pet for identification if they get lost
-Update your pet's microchip information so they can be reunited with you if lost

Check out this informative PetMD article shared by our pals at Feline Friends! ๐Ÿ‘€

Across all four counties we serve the weather over the next week will barely reach 50ยฐF and is predicted to drop below 39ยฐF. And, as winter continues, we all know those temps will get even colder! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

While this article focuses on cats, whether you have a feline friend, a dog, livestock, or even an outdoor aquatic ecosystem with underwater buddies, make sure that you're prepared for the weather changes and have emergency plans in place for snow/wind storms, floods, and power-outages.

As winter nears, how do you know what temperature is too cold for cats? Dr. Sandra Mitchell talks about everything you need to know when keeping your fur baby at a good, comfortable, and healthy temperature.
