What better way to get into the holiday spirit than celebrating our beloved Client Service Representative (and customer favorite!) Lisa as our December 2025 Employee Of The Month!

Lisa's gentle demeanor and kindness to all are just a couple of the things we love about her. She's a dedicated cat mom, pet sitter, and a wonderful part of our team.

Congrats Lisa! 💝

🎄🐾 Holiday Decorating: Safety Tips for Pet Parents 🐾🎄

The holidays are a time for joy, sparkle, and celebration. But for curious pets, all that festive décor can also mean unexpected hazards. Before you deck the halls, take a few extra steps to keep your four-legged family members safe this season.

Here are a few simple safety reminders:
✨ Avoid tinsel and ribbon. Cats love to play with shiny strings, but swallowing them can cause dangerous blockages.
🌿 Choose pet-safe greenery. Holly, mistletoe, and lilies can be toxic if ingested. Opt for artificial or pet-friendly plants instead.
🕯️ Keep candles and lights out of reach. A curious paw or tail can easily knock them over.
🎁 Watch out for small decorations. Ornaments, hooks, and bows can be tempting to chew or swallow.

If your pet gets into something they shouldn’t, don’t wait. Lenity Vet Specialists is open 24/7 to provide emergency care whenever you need us.

Wishing you and your pets a joyful, safe, and healthy holiday season! ❤️

🎄🐾 Holiday Safety Tips for Pets and Guests 🐾🎄
The holidays are full of love, laughter, and maybe a little chaos, especially when pets and guests share the same space! While you’re preparing for company, take a few extra steps to keep your furry friends safe and your visitors comfortable.
Here are a few ways to keep the holidays happy and hazard-free:
🏠 Create a safe space – Set up a quiet room where your pet can retreat if things get loud or overwhelming.
🍗 Watch the snacks – Remind guests not to share food, especially chocolate, bones, or seasoned dishes.
🚪 Mind the doors – Pets may slip out when people come and go. Use gates or leashes during busy moments.
🎁 Pet-proof decorations – Keep candles, tinsel, and small ornaments out of paw’s reach.
👶 Teach kids to be gentle – Young visitors might not know how to approach pets safely, so supervise all interactions.
A little planning goes a long way in preventing stress and accidents. But if your pet does experience an injury, ingestion, or illness this season, our emergency and specialty care team at Lenity Vet Specialists is here to help — 24/7.

We are honored to be a part of Luke's medical care journey.

His parents are wonderful people who would (and have) gone to the end of the earth for their furry family member. Let's help spread the word + raise some funds for this amazingly sweet, young Cane Corso who needs the community's help.

Consider donating even a few dollars or if you're not in a space to help financially - please repost and share on as many socials as possible.

I adopted Luke 2 1/2 years ago. We’ve been inseparable ever since. Luke … Dave Funes needs your support for Luke is a 3 Year Old Cane Corso in San Bruno, CA,

Thanksgiving Pet Hazards
The holidays are a time for gratitude, good food, and family. However, those special Thanksgiving traditions can be risky for pets. Keep these potential hazards in mind to help your furry family members stay safe and healthy.

🚫 Turkey bones – Can cause choking, intestinal blockages, and internal injuries.
🚫 Onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, and chocolate – Even small amounts can be toxic to dogs and cats.
🚫 Stuffing, gravy, and desserts – Seasonings, butter, and xylitol (found in sugar-free foods) can make pets very sick.
🚫 Decorations and candles – Curious pets may chew or knock them over, risking burns or ingestion.
🚫 Guests and open doors – Holiday gatherings can stress pets and create escape risks.

If your pet eats something they shouldn’t or shows signs of sickness, such as vomiting, shaking, or sudden lethargy, don’t wait. Our emergency team at Lenity Vet Specialists is here to help with advanced diagnostics, internal medicine, and surgical care when every second counts.

Let’s make this Thanksgiving a joyful one for the whole family.
