👋 Say hello to Rocco, a baby Flemish Giant rabbit, who came in for his first appointment with Dr Snuffer yesterday!

He is already over 10 pounds at 6 months of age and will be coming in next week for his neuter procedure! 🐰💙

There are many health benefits of neutering rabbits! Aside from preventing unwanted litters, it can also help reduce smelly urine and spraying, improve their litter box habits, lower their risk of cancer, extend their lifespan, and reduce aggression! 🐇

❄During times of cold & snowy weather, our pets rely on us more than ever to help them navigate the challenges of winter!

Here are some tips to ensure your pets stay warm, happy and healthy during the colder months! 🌨☃

🐾Protect their paws from ice & salt with booties or paw wax. Leash walk when conditions are icy to avoid falls & sprains.

🐈 Check under the hood or beep the horn to startle any cats or other animals who might seek warmth & refuge in the engine or wheel wells.

🐕 If your dog has thin fur coat, consider trying a dog jacket or sweater to keep them warm.

🧼 Don't over bathe or shave your pet in the winter. You can strip their coat from their natural oils, that otherwise help keep your pet warm and skin healthy.

☠ Keep pets away from Anti-Freeze and be sure to clean up any spills immediately, as ingestion can be fatal!

🛌 Make sure your pet has a cozy place to sleep that is away from all drafts!

Stay warm & safe this weekend! 🐾❄⛄
