Wishing You a Happy Hanukkah 🕎🐾
Happy Hanukkah! As you light the menorah and enjoy delicious treats, don’t forget about your furry family members:

🕯️ Keep Pets Away from Flames: Place the menorah out of reach to prevent curious noses or wagging tails from accidents.
🍩 No Sharing Latkes or Sufganiyot: Traditional Hanukkah foods are best enjoyed by humans—opt for pet-safe treats instead!
🍫 Watch the Gelt: Chocolate coins and other sweets can be toxic to pets—store them securely.
🎁 Include Your Pets: Treat them to a special toy or festive photo to include them in the celebration.

If an emergency arises this week, remember we are open 24/7 even on holidays!

We wish you and your pets a safe and joyous Hanukkah!🐕🐈🕎

🐾 Hosting Holiday Gatherings with Pets 🐾

As you welcome friends and family into your home, don’t forget about your pets’ needs!

✨ Stick to Routine: Keep feeding, walking, and playtime schedules as consistent as possible.

🐕 Exercise Beforehand: A tired pet is a calmer pet—go for a long walk or play a game before guests arrive.

🍴 Pet-Safe Zones: Keep pets away from the dining area to avoid accidental ingestion of unsafe foods.

🛡️ Secure Decorations: Protect pets from chewing on lights, tinsel, or plants that may be harmful.

❤️ Reassure Them: Offer extra cuddles and reassurance if your pet seems anxious around the commotion.

⚠️ Door Safety: With guests coming and going, ensure your pet can’t slip outside
unnoticed.

A little preparation can make your home a safe and happy place for everyone this holiday season. BUT if your furry friend happens to get into some holiday mischief remember we are open 24/7/365 and are here to help in any emergency! 🐾

🎄Holiday Pet Safety Tips from Your 24/7 Emergency Animal Hospital 🐾
The holidays are full of joy and celebration, but they can also present unexpected dangers for your pets. Here are essential safety tips to help keep your furry family members safe this season:

🍫 Holiday Treats:
Many festive foods are toxic to pets, including chocolate, sugar-free treats (xylitol is poisonous), grapes, raisins, and alcohol.
Avoid sharing fatty or spicy foods to prevent upset stomachs or pancreatitis.
Keep pet-safe treats on hand to include them in the celebration safely.

🎄 Decorations:
Tinsel, ribbons, and ornaments may look like toys but can cause choking or intestinal blockages if swallowed. Secure your Christmas tree to prevent it from tipping over if your pet decides to explore.

🕯️ Candles & Lights:
Pets can knock over candles, causing burns or fires. Always extinguish them when leaving the room. Hide and secure electrical cords to prevent chewing, which can lead to shocks.

🌺 Holiday Plants:
Poinsettias, mistletoe, and holly can be toxic if ingested, causing stomach upset or worse. Choose pet-safe artificial plants or keep real ones out of reach.

🚨 Emergency Tip:
If your pet ingests something harmful or shows signs of illness (vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or unusual behavior), don’t wait—call us immediately 908-707-9077. Our team is here 24/7 to provide expert care when you need it most.

Let’s make the holidays safe and joyful for everyone—including your beloved pets! 🎅🐕🐈

🍂🦃 Can Dogs Eat Turkey? Let's Find Out! 🦃🍂

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and many of us are looking forward to a delicious turkey feast! But if you’re wondering whether your dog can enjoy a little taste too, our friends at Pumpkin Pet Insurance have you covered.

Their latest article dives into the do’s and don’ts of feeding turkey to your pup, including which parts are safe and which to avoid. Spoiler alert: a little plain, unseasoned turkey meat is fine, but be cautious of bones, skin, and seasonings that can upset their stomach or cause other health issues.

Dogs can have turkey, a lean source of healthy protein. However, not all parts of this bird are healthy for our pups.

November is Pet Diabetes Month! 🩺🐾

Look out for signs like:
🔸Increased thirst
🔸Frequent urination

Management often includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and possibly insulin therapy. Keeping your pet at a healthy weight helps to prevent diabetes.

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month!🐾❤️

Why Adopt a Senior?
While puppies and kittens are adorable, senior pets have so much love to give, too. Many people think older pets are “too set in their ways” or won’t adapt, but senior pets are often incredibly resilient and adaptable. They’re often calmer, already house-trained, and simply looking for a comfortable, loving home to spend their golden years. Give a senior a chance – they just might be the perfect match! ❤️
