Veterinarian Jocelyn Hogan at Fetch Emergency and Specialty Centers has created a new program to brighten up the kennels of cats and dogs spending the night away from home. Sketch for Fetch invites children throughout the region to draw pictures and write cards to be hung in the pet's kennels throughout their stay. Pet owners can take even home the artwork when their pet is discharged.

In addition to brightening up the pet's kennels, the program has fostered a sense of community support for the team at Fetch Emergency and Specialty Centers, serving as a reminder of the value of their work.

While your pet's sweetest begging face may be hard to resist, veterinarians caution against sharing your holiday feasts with your companions. While some common holiday foods are fine to share with your pets in small quantities, it's important to know what to avoid sharing in order to keep your pets healthy and safe.

Even safe foods should be given sparingly - new and unfamiliar foods can upset your pet's stomach. Keep an eye on your pets this season, and make sure your guests know the ground rules. Make sure to contact your vet immediately if you notice any symptoms of sickness.

Behavioral changes in pets are often the first signs of aging. These changes might be due to discomfort or pain, such as when a pet is developing a condition like athritis, or due to a loss in vision or hearing. They can also be simply normal parts of the aging process. Aging pets can experience brain impairment, or cognitive dysfunction, similarly to how humans sometimes do. In this graphic, you can see some of the most common behavioral changes that indicate some level of cognitive dysfunction. Contacting your vet and describing the specific changes you've seen is the best way to get help with supporting your aging pet's brain function.

When does a pet become a "senior?" It varies! For cats, it's generally after 10 years of age. For dogs, it depends on size and breed and can range from 6 to 11 years of age.

It's important to remember that age isn't a disease - although older dogs and cats may develop age-related problems, regular veterinary examinations can help detect those issues before they become serious or life-threatening. Your veterinarian can help your pet live a long and healthy life!
