🎃🐾 Halloween Safety Tips for Your Pets! 🐾🎃

Halloween is a fun time for humans, but it can be a little spooky for our furry friends! Here are a few quick tips to keep your dogs and cats safe:

👻 Keep Treats Out of Reach – Chocolate, xylitol (in sugar-free gum), and candy wrappers can be toxic to pets.

🕯️ Watch Decorations – Pets may chew on wires or knock over candles. Opt for pet-safe, flameless décor.

🎭 Costume Caution – If your pet wears a costume, make sure it fits well, doesn’t restrict movement, and is free of small, chewable parts.

🚪 Secure the Door – Trick-or-treaters coming and going? Keep pets safely inside and away from the front door to prevent escapes.

🔖 ID is a Must – If your pet does slip out, proper ID tags and microchips help them get home safely.

Have a safe and happy Halloween! 👇

In honor of National Cat Day, we’re celebrating our very own hospital cat, Liam! 😻

Liam is such a special part of our team. He is full of sass, charm, and lots of personality. He loves his treats, his ever growing collection of adorable outfits, and yes… he even has his own closet!

Of course, no day with Liam is complete without a little mischief. He's known to sneak into the food closet and attempt to steal our clients’ snacks.

Happy National Cat Day to Liam and all the fabulous felines out there! 🐱💖

We’d love to see your cats too! Share photos of your favorite feline friends in the comments — we can’t wait to meet them!

Chloe came in for her check-up today and decided to take matters into her own paws while waiting for the doctor! 🐶💻 She hopped up in the exam room and looked like she was ready to pull up her own medical records. We always love seeing this sweet, smart girl – she definitely knows how to make herself at home!
