Start the new year off right by pet-proofing your celebration! 🐾🎇 With all the excitement and commotion, NYE celebrations can result in lost pets and accidents.

Here are some tips to keep your pets safe:
🎉 Secure pets in a comfy place indoors
🎉 Make sure all pets have ID tags
🎉 Save emergency vet information! Our phone # is (602) 491-1928
🎉 Keep alcohol, treats, and decorations out of reach
🎉 Guard entry and exit points – noisemakers, streamers, popping balloons, and fireworks could cause pets to make a sudden escape
🎉 If you are leaving your pet for the night, do a quick double-check around the house for all of the above and do what you can to make your pet feel comfortable and safe while they ring in the new year!

As you know, roads can start getting icy this time of year. A common de-icing product known as rock salt is a mixture of sodium chloride that helps reduce ice build-up on roads.

What you may not know is that rock salt can be extremely dangerous to pets - especially when ingested or licked from paws and fur. Symptoms of salt poisoning include drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite.

If you suspect your pet may have ingested rock salt, contact AVECCC Peoria at (602) 491-1928 right away. You can also connect with the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.

Today is National Visit the Zoo Day!

🌿🩺 Seeing these majestic creatures up close reminds us how essential veterinary care is—not just for our pets at home, but also for wildlife conservation.

From monitoring the health of a towering giraffe 🦒 to ensuring the playful seals are thriving, veterinary medicine plays a huge role in protecting these animals and their ecosystems. It’s inspiring to see how dedicated teams work to ensure these animals are safe, happy, and healthy.

Whether you're a future vet, an animal lover, or just curious, the zoo is a great place to learn about how we can all help care for our planet’s incredible biodiversity. 🌍💚

This is a reminder that both dogs and cats are known to ingest antifreeze (an unfortunately sweet tasting substance). This often occurs when antifreeze isn't stored properly or isn't placed out of paw's reach. Antifreeze can cause serious nervous system damage, kidney failure, and death. All it takes is less than a tablespoon!

If your pet has ingested antifreeze, there is an antidote! However, it is EXTREMELY important to get treatment for your pet as soon as possible. Contact AVECCC Peoria at (602) 491-1928 right away. You can also call the ASPCA Poison Control Center at (888)426-4435.

Happy First Day of Winter! ❄

We wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that extremely cold temperatures can cause serious problems for pets such as hypothermia, accidental antifreeze ingestion, burns caused by fires or space heaters, and more.

Happy International Tea Day! We've been waiting oolong, long time for this, and boy do we have a quali-tea post for you! 😉🍵 What do dogs drink in the morning? Earl Grey-hound tea!

Did you know that caffeine can be harmful to pets? Many common products contain caffeine including coffee, tea, soda, energy drinks, chocolate, and some supplements (e.g. pre-workout and weight-loss supplements). Depending on the amount ingested, signs of hyperactivity, restlessness, vomiting, elevated heart rate, high blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms, tremors, and elevated body temperature may be seen in cats and dogs. In severe cases, seizures, collapse and death are possible.

If you suspect your pet has ingested a harmful substance, don't wait! Contact AVECCC Peoria immediately at (602) 491-1928.

We hope everyone has a brew-tiful Friday!

🌟HANUKKAH PET SAFETY TIPS🌟

Hanukkah is a time that is spent with the ones you love and that includes your pets! Keep your dogs and cats safe this season with these tips:

🕎 The menorah is one of the most important Hanukkah traditions. However, keeping flame-lit candles in the house can be dangerous for both humans and our pets - especially when some pets like to jump on tables. We suggest considering battery-operated candles or that you place the menorah in pet-free rooms and at an unreachable height.

🕎 Traditional Hanukkah foods such as latkes or sufganiyots are delicious but they could be toxic to your pets. Keep cats and dogs away from these treats, keep all human food or leftovers out of paw's reach, and cover trash bins securely.

🕎 Hanukkah wouldn't be the same without the spinning of the dreidel. However, like any small object, they can become a pet safety hazard. Watch where the dreidel goes after the game is over and keep it out of your pet's mouth to avoid a choking hazard or foreign body obstruction.

🕎 Speaking of foreign body obstructions - gifts with ribbon and gift wrap may seem like toys to your pets. Keep a bag or secure trash can nearby to dispose of all trash immediately.

Consider these extra steps so that your furry friends can join in on the fun safely!

The risk of hypothermia becomes higher during cold weather. Exposure to cold water or cold air are the most common causes of hypothermia, so it's important to keep pets warm and dry. Protect your furry friends this winter! If you think your pet may be at risk of hypothermia, get them to a veterinarian immediately and take action steps below:

🥶 Remove them from the cold
🥶 Wrap them in warm coats or blankets
🥶 Use your body warmth to increase their body temperature
🥶 If they lose consciousness and are breathing, put them in the recovery position (Read about the recovery position here: https://buff.ly/49nXYlP)
🥶 If you know pet CPR, respond quickly if they stop breathing

During the winter months, cats will often seek out any warm space they can find. Unfortunately, common cozy places include underneath a car and a warm car engine which puts their lives at risk. Here’s a few actions you can take to avoid these types of catastrophes:

🐱 Keep your cat safe and warm inside
💭 Check on your cat before leaving the house or before leaving for a trip
🚗 Make loud warning sounds before starting your car
📢 Give cats time to escape your car after you’ve made the loud noises
🛌 Provide a safer, alternative cozy spot for cats by setting up a cat bed or box with a blanket

Congratulations to Tru Jones for being chosen as our December Patient of the Month!

Tru Jones is a 1.5 year old, female Toy Poodle who was transferred to AVECCC Peoria for acute onset neurological symptoms in a comatose state with a low cortisol consistent with atypical Addison’s. Our amazing care team immediately went to work on stabilizing her. Turns out, Tru had given birth to a litter of 6 babies about 2 weeks before and all had been otherwise healthy until the day of. Now our care teams were concerned about a possible toxin ingestion or cranial lesion! Tru was hospitalized in our ICU and regained her bright and alert mentation over a few hours and was able to walk out with her family after almost two days with us and is back to snuggling her babies at home!

🌟⚠HOLIDAY HAZARDS⚠🌟

They might look beautiful but holiday decorations may be hazardous for pets. Here are a few tips to keep your pet safe this holiday season:

🎄 Securely anchor and keep pets away from the tree. Also remember to sweep up any fallen brush or pine needles.

💡 Hang strands of lights higher up. Not only can pets get tangled in strings, but these strands can give them a potentially life-threatening electrical shock if they bite through the wire.

🐈 Tinsel and ornaments can seem like toys (especially to cats) and can cause serious stomach issues if ingested. Avoid using tinsel when possible and stick with larger, shatterproof ornaments that aren’t easy to break or swallow.

Congratulations to Glory for being chosen as our December Employee of the Month!

Hi, my name is Glory! I have been a laboratory technician at AVECCC Peoria for just over three years, with about five years in the animal care industry. I have a soft spot for senior dogs, pibbles, and doxies. I find my job very fulfilling, and I love that every day brings something new! I cannot wait to continue to learn and grow during my time here, and I look forward to new experiences. When I'm not working, I can be seen feeding my wanderlust somewhere in the mountains or by the water, preferably both. If it’s a lazy bones day, I’ll most likely be snuggled up with my dogs while watching reality TV, like Love Island, or doing crafts such as painting, embroidery, or whatever else drew my interest that week.
