🦃✨ Happy Thanksgiving from PVH!
Thank you for letting us care for your furry family members. We hope your day is filled with good food, warm snuggles and lots of gratitude.

Here are a few quick Thanksgiving safety tips to keep your pets feeling their best today:
• Avoid giving turkey bones - They can splinter and cause serious internal injuries. If your pet is desperate for a taste, stick to plain, cooked white turkey meat. It is leaner and easier on your pet’s stomach. Avoid dark meat and skin, which are much higher in fat🍗
• Watch for garlic, onions, leeks, and chives - common in many Thanksgiving dishes and toxic to dogs and cats🍽️
• Keep unbaked yeast dough away from pets - it can expand in the stomach and cause serious issues🍞
• Desserts can hide hazards - chocolate, raisins, currants, and anything with xylitol are dangerous for pets🍫
• Secure doors & trash - with guests coming and going, make sure pets don’t slip out or raid the trash can🗑
• Keep guest bags off the floor - they may contain sugar-free gum, candy, or medications that pets shouldn’t access🛍

Wishing you and your pets a safe, happy and delicious Thanksgiving! 🧡🐾

Did you know, male and female turkeys produce different shaped poo? Toms produce J-shaped droppings while hens leave more spiral shaped piles!

🦃🍁 This Thanksgiving, help us share the love! 🍁🦃
As we celebrate gratitude this week, we’re also continuing our Holiday Pet Supply Drive to support pets and pet owners in need through the Red Lion Senior Center. ❤️

Now through December 15th, you can drop off donations in our front lobby at PVH during business hours. We are accepting unopened pet food, treats, litter, beds, toys, bowls, and monetary donations - every bit makes a difference for a family and their pets this season. 🎁🐾

Thank you for giving back and helping us spread comfort and joy to our community.

Stress? We don’t know her.
PVH spent the afternoon smashing pumpkins for some much-needed stress relief, and let’s just say… we might be onto something. 🎃💥
It was messy and quite therapeutic, the perfect way to shake off the week and have a little fun together as a team.
Thank you to Mandy and Warner Family Pumpkins for hooking us up with the perfect stress-relief tools. 🔨🎃

Did you know, hyenas belong to their own unique family, Hyaenidae, and are more closely related to cats and mongooses than dogs? Hyenas have a bone-crushing bite with more power than a lion or a wolf and use this bite force to obtain the nutritious marrow.
