🎃 Halloween is just two days away! 🎃 As you prepare for the fun, keep your furry friends safe with these pet-friendly tips:

🐾Keep candy out of reach 🍫 – Chocolate and sweets can be toxic to pets, especially chocolate and anything with xylitol.
🐾Watch the decorations 🎃 – Strings, fake cobwebs, and small decorations can be a choking hazard for curious paws.
🐾Costume comfort 👻 – If you dress up your pet, make sure the costume is comfortable, breathable, and doesn’t restrict movement. Avoid anything with small parts that could be swallowed.
🐾Limit outdoor time 🌙 – With all the spooky excitement, keep pets indoors to avoid encounters with strangers in costumes, which can be scary for them.
🐾Keep ID tags on 📛 – Just in case, make sure your pet’s ID tags and microchip info are up-to-date.
🧡Let’s make this a safe and fun Halloween for everyone! 🧡

🌍🐾 Happy World Rabies Day! 🐾🌍

Today, we raise awareness about the critical role vaccinations play in protecting both pets and humans from rabies—a preventable but deadly disease.

🌟 Veterinarians at the Frontline: Around the world, veterinarians work tirelessly to vaccinate dogs, cats, and other animals, helping to prevent the spread of rabies. Their efforts save countless lives every year, and their dedication to animal and public health is something we should all celebrate today and every day.

Let’s do our part to protect our pets, ourselves, and our communities. Schedule your pet’s vaccination today and help make the world rabies-free! 🌍🐶🐱💉 Call us today at 909-987-6224, ext 1 for more information on our vaccines and walk-in vaccine hours. We are open today from 8am-4pm.
