🥶❄️😰It’s awfully cold out there and overnight the wind chill is going to get brutally low. Keep indoor/outdoor fur babies inside. Provide adequate shelter for outdoor pets if you cannot accommodate them inside. If possible, relocate them to a garage or shed with straw bedding and plenty of fresh water and food. If you park outside, check under the hood and in vehicle wheel wells before starting up as strays might find it the only warm place to sleep.

Make sure to use pet friendly ice melt around your home. If you do not use booties on your dog after winter outings, it’s a good idea to wipe paws with a warm damp cloth when you get home as certain ice melts can cause severe skin irritation and/or be harmful if ingested.

With the bitter temps we are experiencing, it’s probably best for you and your dog to hunker down inside, avoid walks, and only go out for the necessities. If you do take your dog out, make sure that they are protected from the elements and it’s only a quick outting.

Flea and tick season is far from over. The fleas are out there living their best life in the Fall, searching for their ideal winter vacation retreat, and your pet is looking like their lottery dream home. They want to move in and invite all of their extended family over for a non-stop party. Now is the worst time of year for fleas and ticks. They are cozy under the warm blanket of leaves on the ground. Temperatures are colder at night but still warm enough during the day for them to live and thrive. There are no more hot temperatures to possibly dry up the eggs that are out in the environment. We recommend keeping all pets, even indoor only cats, on flea and tick prevention until the second hard freeze. If we have a mild winter, keep them on it year round. We have several options for flea and tick prevention available in clinic and on our online store. For more information on how to keep your pets flea and tick free, click the link below.

It's that time of year to gobble til you wobble! We all consider our pets to be part of the family, and may even want them to join in on the holiday festivities, but make sure to take measures to ensure their safety.
🐶If you are having guests to your home, make sure that they are aware of your pets to avoid accidentally letting them out of the house.
🐱Pets that are more anxious or shy would be best behind a closed door in an area like a bedroom as they may be upset by all of the excitement, and their fight or flight instincts will be heightened. Turn on soothing music at a pleasing volume. Make sure they have water, food, litter box for kitties, and a comfortable place to rest.
🍗Avoid indulging your pet in table food, even during the holidays. Even if you have seen something advised as "pet friendly holiday food", many table foods can be toxic or cause severe GI upset for your pet.
🤮Keep on eye on the garbage and food left on counter tops. Many pets will look for any opportunity they can to try and sneak in a treat that may unknowingly cause them a costly trip to the vet or emergency clinic
🪪 Keep your pet's ID tags up to date and make sure your microchip information is up to date just incase they do get out and have an adventure. It's always a good idea to have a current photo of your pet readily available too.
