Today is National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day. We know all too well that some cats don't love their carrier which can make their trip to the vet a hassle. Having the right carrier can help! Keep these tips in mind when choosing a cat carrier.

Handle: Look for a sturdy and comfortable handle to ensure easy carrying during trips to the vet or travel.

Front Gate: Opt for a carrier with a secure front gate that opens smoothly, allowing easy access for your cat without any stress.

Hard Bottom: A carrier with a hard and stable bottom is essential for your cat's comfort and safety during transportation.

Side Vents: Ensure the carrier has proper side vents to provide adequate airflow and ventilation, promoting a comfortable journey for your feline friend.

Removable Top: Consider carriers with removable tops for easier and less stressful loading or unloading of your cat.

Secure Clips: Choose carriers with strong and secure clips to prevent accidental escapes and ensure your cat's safety at all times.

Correct Size: Select a carrier that is spacious enough for your cat to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably, but not too large to avoid unnecessary movement during travel.

Waterproof: A carrier with waterproof materials is beneficial for easy cleaning and preventing any messes from seeping out during travel.

Remember, a well-chosen cat carrier ensures your pet's safety, comfort, and a stress-free travel experience for both of you, especially on Take Your Cat to the Vet Day.

Why Microchip Your Pet?

- 1 in 3 family pets will get lost. Microchipping offers a safe and effective way to increase the chances of a happy reunion if your pet ever goes missing.

- Microchipped dogs are more than twice as likely to be returned to their owners. As a responsible pet owner, you want to ensure your pet finds its way back home quickly and safely.

- Affordable, one-time ID that lasts a lifetime! - Microchipping is a smart investment in your pet's security. Once the tiny chip is implanted, it remains in place for the entirety of their life, providing constant peace of mind.

- Microchipped cats are more than 20 times as likely to be returned to their owners. For our pets who love to explore, a microchip is their ticket back to cuddles and treats in the comfort of your loving home.

Don't forget, August 15th is "Check the Chip Day!" Ensure your pet's microchip is registered and the information is up-to-date. This simple step can make all the difference in reuniting with your lost pet. 🐶🐱❤️

Pet Separation Anxiety: Tips

Is your pet experiencing separation anxiety? Don't worry, we've got you covered with some helpful tips to ease their worries and make your departures less stressful!

1️⃣ Start Small: Gradually build up your pet's tolerance to being alone. Begin with short departures and gradually increase the time. This will help them adjust and feel more secure when you're away.

2️⃣ Stay Calm: Pets can pick up on our emotions, so be sure to remain calm and composed when leaving or returning home. Keeping a relaxed atmosphere will help your furry friend feel at ease too.

3️⃣ Don't Say Goodbye: Resist the urge to make a big fuss when leaving. A simple and quick goodbye is better. This helps your pet understand that departures are a normal part of their day.

4️⃣ Crate Train Your Dog: Dogs often find comfort in a well-designed crate, which can become their safe space. Gradually introduce the crate and make it a positive experience with treats and toys.

5️⃣ Walk It Out: Before leaving, take your dog on a brisk walk or engage in some playtime. Physical activity can help reduce anxiety and leave them feeling more relaxed during your absence.

Remember, patience and consistency are key when helping your pets cope with separation anxiety. If the anxiety persists, our experienced team is here to assist and support you every step of the way!

Summer Pet Safety Tips: Beat the heat and keep your pets safe! 🌞🐾

☀️ Sun Protection: Just like us, our pets need sun protection too! If your dog is white, light-colored, hairless, or simply loves sunbathing, consider using pet-safe sunscreen or clothing to shield them from harmful UV rays.

🏝️ Shade: Help your pets stay cool by providing access to shade every 30 minutes, especially during the hottest parts of the day. Let them relax in a shaded spot to prevent overheating.

💧 Water: Hydration is key! Keep your dog's water bowl filled and refreshed frequently. On hot days, it's essential to ensure they have enough water to stay hydrated and avoid dehydration.

🚗 Car Safety: NEVER leave your beloved pet in a parked car, even for a moment. Cars can become dangerously hot within minutes, putting your furry companion at risk of heatstroke. Always take them with you or leave them at home in a cool and comfortable environment.

Let's all work together to make this summer a safe and enjoyable season for our four-legged friends! 🐾❤️

💼 Pet first aid kit: Accidents happen, so be ready to provide immediate care until you can reach a veterinarian.

📋 Vaccination records: Have your pet's important medical history on hand for shelter or travel needs.

🏷️ Microchip information: Ensure your pet can be identified and reunited with you if separated.

💊 1-month supply of flea, tick, and heartworm preventative: Protect your pets from pesky parasites during stressful times.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴? 🐾

Scooting might seem amusing, but it could be a sign of something bothering your pets! Here are some 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿:

🐾 Inflamed Impacted A**l Glands: One of the most frequent reasons for scooting is inflamed or impacted a**l glands. These small glands, located near the a**s, can become swollen or clogged, causing discomfort for your pet.

🐾 Tapeworms or Other Parasites: Fleas, ticks, and other parasites can infect your pet and lead to scooting as they cause irritation and itching around the rear end.

🐾 F***l Contamination: Sometimes, leftover f***l matter in the fur can irritate your pet, making them scoot to try and clean themselves.

🐾 Matted Fur: Long-haired pets are more prone to scooting if their fur becomes matted, as this can also cause irritation and discomfort.

🐾 Skin Infections or Allergens: Skin issues and allergies can make your pet feel itchy, leading to scooting as they try to find relief.

🐾 Rare Causes: In rare cases, scooting may be related to re**al prolapse or tumors. While less common, it's essential to rule out any serious underlying issues.

If your pet scoots persistently or displays any unusual symptoms, it's best to consult our veterinary experts for a thorough examination.

🚫 Don't let scooting bug your pets! Stay informed and keep them feeling comfortable and happy! 🐶🐱
