🎆 4th of July Hazards to Watch Out for Your Pets 🎇
As you gear up for Independence Day celebrations, here are some hazards to be mindful of to keep your pets safe and happy:

🐾 Fireworks: The loud noises and bright flashes can be terrifying for pets, potentially causing them to run away or become anxious. Keep them indoors and create a safe, quiet space for them to retreat to.

🐾 Food and Drinks: Many festive foods and drinks can be harmful to pets. Avoid giving them table scraps, especially those containing chocolate, alcohol, onions, garlic, grapes, and raisins.

🐾 Glow Sticks and Jewelry: While fun for humans, these can be toxic if chewed on or ingested by pets. Keep them out of reach.

🐾 Hot Weather: If you’re spending time outdoors, ensure your pets have plenty of water and a shaded area to avoid overheating or dehydration.

🐾 Open Flames: Grills, fire pits, and citronella candles can be hazardous. Keep pets away from open flames to prevent burns or accidental ingestion of toxic substances.

🐾 Decorations: Flags, streamers, and other decorations can pose choking hazards or cause intestinal blockages if ingested. Keep decorations out of reach.

By being mindful of these hazards, you can help ensure a safe and enjoyable 4th of July for you and your furry companions!

🎆🇺🇸 4th of July Pet Safety Tips! 🇺🇸🎆

The 4th of July is a time for celebration, but the fireworks can be stressful for our furry friends. Here are some tips to keep your pets calm and safe:

🐶 Create a Safe Space: Set up a quiet, cozy area for your pet to retreat to during fireworks.

🐱 Close Windows and Curtains: This helps muffle the noise and block out the bright flashes.

🐶 Provide Distractions: Give your pet their favorite toys or a treat to keep them occupied.

🐱 Use Calming Aids: Consider pet-safe calming products like anxiety wraps or pheromone diffusers.

🐶 Stay Calm: Your pet can pick up on your emotions, so try to remain calm and relaxed.

🐱 Update ID Tags and Microchips: Ensure your pet's identification is up to date in case they get scared and run off.

Reach out to us if you need any guidance or a prescription for calming aids. We are here to help. Let's make this 4th of July enjoyable for everyone, including our beloved pets! ❤️

Is Your Pet Showing Signs of Mobility Issues?

Keep an eye out for signs like limping, stiffness, reluctance to climb stairs, or decreased activity levels. These could indicate osteoarthritis (OA) pain, a common condition that affects joints and causes discomfort. Early detection and management are key to improving your pet’s quality of life. Osteoarthritis (OA) affects about 20% of dogs. Don't let OA slow them down – schedule a check-up with us to discuss treatment options, ensuring they stay active and happy!
