Please ensure your pets have name tags and collars ready for the 4th of July weekend. If you don't have a tag, consider writing your phone number in permanent marker directly on the collar or attaching a piece of duct tape with the information. Additionally, take a recent photo of your pet in case they go missing. It is best to keep them indoors but we all know they can bolt outside. Let's keep our furry friends safe!

4th of July Reminder from Your Furry Friends! 🐾

As we celebrate Independence Day, let’s not forget our pets — cats and dogs often get scared and stressed by fireworks. 💥 What sounds fun to us can feel like the sky is falling to them!

🐱🐶 Please keep your celebrations pet-friendly:
✔️ Skip the loud fireworks if you can
✔️ Keep pets indoors and safe
✔️ Turn on the TV or music to help muffle the noise
✔️ Comfort them with treats, toys, and love

Let’s make this 4th of July a celebration for all — including the ones with fur and paws! ❤️🐾

🎆🐾 Fourth of July Pet Safety Tips 🐾🎆
Fireworks, food, and festivities can be fun for us, but they can be scary—or even dangerous—for pets. As your trusted emergency animal hospital, we're sharing some quick tips to keep your pets safe and calm this holiday:

🚫 Fireworks & Furry Friends Don't Mix: Keep pets indoors in a quiet, secure room during fireworks.

🔒 ID Matters: July 4th is the #1 day for lost pets. Double-check ID tags and microchip info.

🎶 Create a Calming Space: Use white noise, calming music, or a fan to help reduce noise anxiety.

🌭 BBQ Danger Zones: Keep pets away from hot grills, alcohol, chocolate, skewers, and fireworks debris.

💊 Ask About Anti-Anxiety Options: If your pet gets extremely anxious, talk to your vet about safe calming aids.

🚨 We’re OPEN on July 4th
If your pet gets into something they shouldn’t, or needs urgent care, we’ll be here—24/7, all holiday long.

❤️ Stay safe and celebrate responsibly—for you and your pets!

Before the fireworks start (most places they've already started!🎇), take a sharpie and write your phone number on your dog's collar! You can literally write it directly on the collar, on the outside of it or flip it over and write it on the inside. When we get in a stray dog, we always look at both sides, hoping there will be some info! 🐾 Keep your pets safe and enjoy the upcoming holiday!🎆

We have THE BEST board members! Our awnings on the STL building were starting to look pretty rough and needed a good cleaning. One of our board members, Dave Sharp, spent a day of his "vacation" cleaning them yesterday! They look so much better. Thank you Dave Sharp!

Have a kitty who is challenging to trap and/or will not enter your trap?!!!

TRAP TRAINING may be the answer to this problem!

1. Securely zip tie the trap door open so the trap can not close.

2. Start with the food right in front of the trap. This is a good time to implement a feeding schedule if you haven’t already done so.

3. Move the food bowl back a little each day until it’s in the back of the trap.

4. When the cat is freely going in and out of the trap for food, cut the ties and set the trap as normal for a scheduled spay/neuter date. ‼️Don't trap a cat unless you have an appointment or have a walk-in clinic option.

⚠️ The only available food should be near or in the trap.
