As we get ready to ring in the New Year, here’s a friendly reminder to keep your pets safe during the celebrations 🎉🐾

🎆 Loud noises and fireworks can be stressful—create a quiet, cozy space where your pet feels secure
🥂 Keep alcoholic drinks, party foods, and decorations out of reach
🚪 Make sure pets are safely indoors and wearing ID in case they get spooked and try to escape

Wishing you a safe, happy New Year filled with health, comfort, and lots of tail wags and purrs as we head into the year ahead 💙🐶🐱

🎉 Team fun alert! 🎯

Our WVRC Racine/Kenosha team took a break from the clinic to go axe throwing at a local spot, Hold My Beer, and it was a blast! We also had a white elephant gift exchange, delicious food, and sweet treats. 🍰

Back at the clinic, we got into the holiday spirit, decorating and coming together to make the season festive and fun for everyone. ❤️

Holiday travel with pets can be fun, but safety always comes first. 🚗🐾

⚠️ Warning: No matter how cute they look behind the wheel, please don’t let your dog do the driving. 😄

Whether you’re heading out of town or visiting family, a little preparation helps keep everyone safe and comfortable.

Holiday travel safety tips for pets:
• Use proper restraints: Secure pets in a crate or pet seatbelt—free roaming (or driving 🤣 ) isn’t safe.

• Pack a pet travel kit: Food, medications, medical records, leashes, waste bags, and a familiar comfort item.

• Avoid travel on a full stomach: This can help reduce motion sickness.
• Plan for breaks: Stop every few hours for bathroom breaks, water, and a stretch—always on leash.

• Watch the temperature: Never leave pets in a parked car, even briefly.

• Update ID and microchips: Travel increases the risk of pets getting lost.

• Mind the stress: New places and long trips can cause anxiety, vomiting, or diarrhea.

If your pet isn’t a frequent traveler, talk with your veterinarian ahead of time about ways to reduce anxiety or motion sickness. Planning ahead helps ensure the holidays stay joyful for every member of the family. 💚🐶🐱

The holidays are full of delicious treats, but not all of them are safe for our pets 🎄🐾

As you celebrate, keep these toxic holiday foods out of reach of curious paws:
• Chocolate
• Grapes & raisins
• Onions, garlic & chives
• Xylitol (found in sugar-free desserts, gum & baked goods)
• Alcohol
• Macadamia nuts

Even small amounts can cause serious illness in dogs and cats. When in doubt, skip the table scraps and stick to pet-safe treats made just for them.

If you think your pet may have gotten into something unsafe, seek veterinary care right away or contact a pet poison control center.

A little prevention goes a long way in keeping the holidays happy and healthy for everyone 💚🐶🐱

Spoiling your pet this holiday season? 🎁🐾 Make sure their gifts are as safe as they are fun!

When shopping for your pet:
• Choose toys that are the right size and made for their chewing style
• Avoid items with small pieces, strings, or easily torn stuffing
• Stick to pet-safe treats and introduce new snacks slowly
• Skip human foods and novelty treats that can cause tummy trouble

A little extra thought goes a long way in keeping the holidays happy and emergency-free for your furry family members. 💙

The holidays bring sparkle, snacks, and celebrations—but they can also bring hidden dangers for pets. A few seasonal reminders to help keep your furry family members safe:

🎄 Decorations & Plants – Tinsel, ornaments, ribbon, and string lights can cause serious intestinal blockages if swallowed. Also watch out for toxic plants like poinsettias, mistletoe, and lilies.

🍫 Holiday Foods – Chocolate, xylitol (found in sugar-free treats), grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, alcohol, and fatty foods can all lead to medical emergencies.

🕯 Candles & Fireplaces – Curious noses and swishing tails can easily lead to burns or house fires. Always supervise pets around open flames.

🎁 Wrappings & Small Objects – Ribbons, bows, batteries, and small toy pieces can pose choking and obstruction risks.

A little extra awareness goes a long way in keeping the holidays happy, healthy, and emergency-free for everyone—especially the four-legged members of your family. ❤️🐾

❄️ Winter weather is here! Let’s keep our pets safe! ❄️

Cold weather brings unique risks for both dogs and cats, and a little extra care can go a long way in keeping them comfortable and healthy.

🐾 Common Winter Hazards to Watch For:
• Antifreeze toxicity: Even a small amount can be deadly. Clean spills immediately and store products securely.
• Ice melt irritation: Salt and chemical de-icers can cause paw burns and stomach upset if licked. Wipe paws after walks and consider pet-safe alternatives.
• Frostbite & hypothermia: Ears, tails, and paws are especially vulnerable. Limit time outside during extreme cold and dry pets thoroughly after they come in.
• Hidden dangers under the snow: Snow can conceal sharp objects, frozen ponds, and holes that pets can fall into.
• Car engines & wheel wells: Outdoor cats may shelter under the hood for warmth. Tap your car before starting it.

💙 Winter Safety Tips:
• Keep walks short during severe cold
• Use pet-safe booties or paw balm
• Provide warm bedding away from drafts
• Never leave pets alone in cold cars
• Ensure senior pets and those with medical conditions stay warm and monitored

Winter should be cozy—not risky—for our four-legged family members. Stay safe and enjoy the season together! ⛄🐶🐱

🍗🐾 Thanksgiving Pet Safety Alert! 🐾🍗

The holiday is all about family, food, and fun—but sometimes our curious pets can get into things they shouldn’t. If your pet eats something unusual this Thanksgiving—like chocolate, turkey bones, or rich foods—stay calm and act quickly:

1️⃣ Assess the situation: Try to figure out what and how much your pet ate.
2️⃣ Watch for warning signs: Vomiting, lethargy, difficulty breathing, or unusual behavior are red flags.
3️⃣ Call your vet or emergency hospital immediately: Even small amounts of certain foods can be dangerous.
4️⃣ Don’t induce vomiting unless instructed: Some items, like bones or grease, can cause more harm coming back up.

Being prepared can save your pet from serious complications—and keep your holiday happy and safe for everyone! 🐶🐱💛
