Car safety features are designed for humans, not animals, so there's a real risk for dogs to get serious injuries without the proper protection. Using a dog harness can help to minimize force along the neck in the event of a sudden change of speed. Keeping your dog safely harnessed also prevents them from possibly causing an accident if they get curious and distract you while driving. Always attach on the dog's body.

It's Cat World Domination Day! Let's get real, cat parents! Why is your cat always staring at you? You might think it's a sign of love and wanting attention but maybe it's to collect information on their humans for an upcoming invasion! Either way, we still love them!

It’s foxtail season!
These dangerous weeds when dried out can embed within your pets coat, skin, ear canals, gums, nose, and eyes with their barb like cluster of spikes. This could lead to abscesses, infections, and even potentially death as they work their way through the soft tissue of your pets.
Always brush your pets coat out thoroughly to remove any foxtails that are stuck in the fur. Check in between the webbing of their toes, armpits, chest, and stomach. Inspect your backyard for any foxtails and remove them.
If you suspect your pet has an embedded foxtail seek veterinarian care for removal.

We don't expect fireworks on Memorial Day. There are always a few and unlike on the 4th of July when we have the pets ready for them on Memorial Day Weekend a few errant fireworks can send our pets running for the hills or hiding in the house to the point we can't find them. So, here is a reminder and some tips on how to deal with random fireworks this weekend.

The Fourth of July may still be several days away, but fireworks have been rattling cities across the country for weeks. Chicago, for example, has recently reported a 700% jump in firework complaints this year compared to 2019; in Boston, that number is 2,300%.
