**Update he got picked up by his owner! Thanks for all of your help loathing them! 🙏🏼**

This orange tabby was found off of 1300 E and 3500 S. In South Salt Lake City. He’s handsome, healthy and quite the spicy purrito with big feelings 😅 He’s neutered with a microchip and AirTag, just no answer from his owners at the moment. Someone is for sure missing this orange floof!

** Update Fozzi was reunited with his owner! Thanks for all of your help in locating them 🙏🏼**

This lover boy was found wandering around a condo area near 4500 S. 1300 E. in Millcreek. He’s affectionate, comes when calls, and wants to lay in your lap for all of the cuddles! He’s neutered with a microchip and a registered name of “Fozzi”, but no one answers at the number associated with his microchip. Fozzi appears healthy and happy around 10yrs old. Someone is for sure missing this fluffy guy😍

Thanksgiving is a special time to gather with family and friends but it can also be a tricky holiday for pets. While we humans look forward to all the food, pets can easily get into trouble, and every year, Advanced Veterinary Care (AVC) sees emergencies caused by holiday treats. The good news is that most of these issues can be prevented with a little planning. The biggest culprit is usually fatty foods. Keep your pets away from your dinner plate, secure the garbage, and be aware of foods that can be dangerous.

Here’s what you can do to keep your pets safe and your holiday stress-free.

1. Don’t share human food with pets
It’s tempting to share, but giving pets table scraps can lead to everything from upset stomachs to serious problems like pancreatitis or blockages. Poultry bones can splinter, chocolate and grapes are toxic, and even secret ingredients in family recipes can be harmful. When it comes to Thanksgiving food, it’s always safest to say no.

2. Handle turkey safely
Raw or undercooked turkey can carry salmonella, and even cooked turkey left out too long can be risky. Never let pets chew on turkey bones, they can splinter and get stuck in the throat or digestive tract. Signs that something’s wrong can include vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or unusual behavior. Some bones pass safely, but others may require surgery.

3. Keep desserts and dough out of reach
Chocolate, xylitol (in sugar-free goodies), and yeast dough can all be dangerous. Make sure baked goods are safely stored while they cool or rise, curious noses and paws can lead to serious trouble fast.

4. Secure the trash
Holiday leftovers in the trash can be irresistible. Keep garbage out of reach to prevent pets from getting into scraps or bones that could make them sick.

5. Make your home pet-friendly
Thanksgiving isn’t just about food. Extra guests, decorations, and changes to your pet’s routine can be stressful.

6. ID & microchips
With guests coming and going, pets can slip out. Make sure tags and microchip info are up-to-date.

7. Comfort zone
Give pets a quiet space to retreat if things get overwhelming. If bringing pets along, use a secure carrier or harness in the car

This cute chunky female, appearing to be a big bully mix, was found moseying around near Murray High School. She seems to be healthy and happy. She doesn’t have a collar but she does have a microchip, we just haven’t heard back from the number on file yet. She loves to wiggle for attention and doesn’t like to be in a kennel if she can see you!

Please share and let’s help this thick girl find her family🧡

We appreciate everyone who cares so deeply about the well-being of animals in our community. We want to clarify how the process works anytime a stray pet is brought to AVC, so there’s no confusion or worry about their care.

🏥AVC is an emergency and specialty hospital, not an animal shelter or rescue. Shelters and rescues have legal authority to assume ownership of stray animals, provide long-term housing, and place pets for adoption. Veterinary hospitals like ours cannot legally take ownership of unclaimed pets or make long-term medical decisions without an owner or an agency responsible for the animal.

🛑By law, any stray pet without a microchip or identified owner must be transferred to the animal services department for the city or district where they were found. Shelters are the only entities authorized to complete a stray hold, search for an owner, and determine the next steps for care.

❤️‍🩹Before transfer, our team provides immediate comfort and supportive care within our legal and financial ability; such as keeping the animal warm, hydrated, fed, safe, given pain control and monitored. We always want to ensure they are as stable and comfortable as possible during their short stay with us.

🚙The transfer to the appropriate city shelter is not us “giving up” on an animal, it is the required and proper process that ensures every stray has a legal pathway to reunification, ownership, medical decision-making, and potential adoption.

🐶We share the same goal as all of you, helping pets get every chance possible. While we are dedicated to helping pets in emergencies, we are not a no-cost shelter and do not have the resources or legal authority to provide ongoing treatment, hospitalization, or adoption services for unowned animals. Following the legal process ensures they can be reunited with families, properly cared for, and placed when appropriate.

🙏🏼We know these situations can be emotional, and we are grateful for a community that cares so deeply. Thank you for understanding the role we play, the laws we must follow, and the efforts we make to ensure every stray animal is treated with compassion and respect.

UPDATE: Stray Dog Transferred to West Valley Animal Services

Yesterday, a good Samaritan brought a sweet stray pup to AVC after finding her injured near 1355 W 3100 S in West Valley City. After an exam, we discovered she had likely been hit by a car, resulting in a hip luxation, and she was also intact with a mild pyometra, a potentially serious uterine infection.

Our team kept her comfortable and stable, and she has now been safely transferred to West Valley Animal Services, where she can continue receiving the care and support she needs. She had no tags or microchip, and we are hopeful her family may still be out there looking for her.

If you recognize her, or if you’re interested in fostering, adopting, or helping with the continued cost of her medical care, please reach out to:

🚨 FOUND STRAY – PLEASE SHARE! 🚨
This sweet little girl was brought into us here at Advanced Veterinary Care after being found wandering the street around 1355 W 3100 S, in West Valley City around 9PM last night. She appears to be an adult female Shih Tzu mix ~2years old, and is currently injured in her hind end. 💔

She unfortunately does not have a microchip or tags! We are urgently trying to find her family. We are currently addressing her medical care and just want to reunite her with her family.

Please help us get her home where she belongs!
📣 Share this post far and wide
📞 If you recognize her or know her owners, please contact Advanced Veterinary Care immediately at 801-942-3951. Proof of ownership is required.

Let’s get this sweet girl back to her family. ❤️🐾

🚨Emergency Case Spotlight at AVC!🚨

This tough kitty came to us after getting into a fight and developing a baseball-sized abscess on his back. After a quick haircut and sterile prep, our ER team carefully lanced the wound, releasing a thick, bloody, purulent discharge with a smell only vet teams can truly appreciate.🤢

The area was gently and thoroughly flushed with a dilute betadine solution, and thanks to his pain medication, our handsome patient tolerated the procedure like an absolute champ.🐈‍⬛💙

He did, however, earn himself a fashionable cone of shame to prevent any licking👅that could lead to more infection or bacterial buildup. And with a long-acting antibiotic injection on board, his owner won’t have to wrestle with bad tasting daily oral antibiotics. 🙌🏻

✨Cheers to this little fighter, well on his way to healing and living to scrap another day!
