* JULY IS NATIONAL LOST PET PREVENTION MONTH *
Every year, countless pets go missing, leaving their owners distraught and anxious. Losing a pet is a heart-wrenching experience that no pet parent should have to endure. National Lost Pet Prevention Month serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of pet identification, responsible ownership, and proactive measures to keep our furry friends safe.

MICROCHIPPING: A Lifesaver for Our Pets
Microchipping is a safe and simple procedure that involves implanting a tiny electronic chip beneath a pet's skin. This chip contains a unique identification number linked to the owner's contact information. In case a pet goes missing and is found, veterinary clinics, shelters, and animal control agencies can scan the microchip to reunite the pet with its owner.

VISIBLE IDENTFICATION: Collars and Tags
A sturdy collar with an engraved tag displaying the owner's name and phone number can significantly increase the chances of a lost pet being returned.

RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP
Maintain a secure and pet-friendly environment at home, such as a well-fenced yard and securely latched gates. Additionally, it's vital to keep pets on leashes or in appropriate enclosures when outdoors.

UTILIZING TECHNOLOGY: Pet-Finding Apps and Social Media
The use of technology has revolutionized the way we approach lost pet prevention. Pet-finding apps and websites, along with social media platforms, have become invaluable tools in reuniting lost pets with their owners.

Just a reminder that July 4th 🇺🇸 and FIREWORKS 🎆 are right around the corner. To help reduce a pet’s stress and anxiety from the noise, there are a variety of medications and supplements that can help. Owners should CONTACT OUR OFFICE EARLY to determine which is best as every pet and situation is different. (OUR OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED THURSDAY, JULY 4 AND FRIDAY, JULY 5). More pets run away due to fireworks than for any other reason, according to PetAmberAlert, and there is a 30% increase in lost pets each year between July 4 and 6. Other helpful tips for pets with anxiety include:
• Walk your pet during daylight hours to avoid times when fireworks are likely to be set off
• Close windows and curtains to muffle the sound of fireworks
• Put on some music or tv to mask the firework sounds
• Create a quiet space where your pet can feel in control
• Create some hiding places around your home
• Make sure your pet has a collar, ID tag or microchip in the event that they may try to run away

The month of June is Adopt-A-Cat Month. The American Humane Association started this monthly awareness to adopt shelter cats in 1974. They picked the month of June because it is the height of “kitten season,” when millions of kittens are born and often end up in shelters. There are a few ways that you can help the cats in your area.
1. Look into adopting a cat (or two) from your local shelter.
2. If you can’t add a cat to your family permanently, perhaps you can talk to your shelter about fostering possibilities.
3. Contact your local shelters and see what donations they might need. For example, cat litter, cat food, blankets, or even monetary donations might help.
June is the perfect time to think about adding a feline to the family!🐱❤️

Reminder: Our office will be closed on Monday, May 27th, 2024 in observance of Memorial Day. We will reopen on Tuesday, May 28th at 8:00 a.m. We sincerely thank the brave men and women who have served our country and paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Happy Spring! We hope you and your furry friends are enjoying the beautiful spring weather. Don’t forget that with the nice weather comes the need for pet safety. As you enjoy the warmer weather, remember to stay vigilant about your pet’s health:
- Keep up with flea and tick preventions.
- Store cleaning chemicals out of pets' reach during spring cleaning.
- Watch out for toxic plants and keep pesticides and fertilizers safely away.
- Secure windows and screen doors to prevent any adventurous escapes.
Enjoy the spring season with your pets! 🐶🐾🐱

*🐶March is PET POISON PREVENTION AWARENESS MONTH 🐱*

Nevertheless, it is important to know that our dogs and cats are prone to illness and other complications that can endanger their lives. Exposure to toxic substances, especially through their food and water, can be significantly deadly. For more information or any questions you may have, visit:

January is Walk Your Dog Month! 🐶 Get up off that sofa, get moving, and don't let those sub-zero winter temperatures drag you down. Dogs need plenty of exercise throughout the year and the best way to keep them active in winter is to take them for regular walks.

THANK YOU to everyone that inquired and shared our post about Beans -- he found his "fur-ever" home! We'll definitely miss having him around the clinic, but are happy that he found a loving home.🐱❤

Meet Beans… the cutest, craziest, cuddliest kitten!🐱
Beans is an 11-week old, domestic short hair black & white male kitten with lots of love to give! He is full of energy, s***k and is super playful. When he’s not running around the clinic playing with his mouse toys, he likes to lounge on his favorite bed and purr himself to sleep. (He’s a big “purrer”). Beans was brought to us by someone that found him in a cornfield and is now looking for his loving forever home. Could it be you? If you are interested in adopting Beans, please contact the Schoolcraft Vet Clinic at (269)679-5248.

November is dedicated as “SENIOR PET HEALTH” month. It’s intended to emphasize the reality that senior pets require additional care, such as more frequent examinations, diagnostics, and nutritional and behavioral counseling. Did you know that senior dogs and cats represent over 44% of the pet population? The 2023 American Animal Hospital Association senior guidelines for dogs and cats offer these tips and more to help you become a champion for senior pets.

Remember that aging is not a disease and there's a lot we can do to make senior pets golden years enjoyable AND rewarding:
o because of variations in breed, size, lifespan and species, senior plans cannot be one-size-fits-all
o healthy and unhealthy senior pets require different approaches to management

An older pet is more likely to develop diseases such as heart, kidney, liver disease, cancer or arthritis. Recognize that senior care is multifaceted and includes:
o medical and interventional therapies
o behavioral management
o awareness of comorbidities
o environmental modifications

November is dedicated as “ADOPT A SENIOR PET” month as well! 🐶❤🐱
