🚨 Heads up, pet lovers! Rabies is a super serious disease that messes with the brain and nervous system of animals. But don't worry, there's an easy way to keep your furry friends safe: make sure they're vaccinated by your vet!

So, how do pets catch rabies? They can get it if they're bitten or come into contact with the saliva of a sick animal. Common culprits are bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes. 😱 Once the virus sneaks into the body, it heads to the brain and starts causing trouble. It can take weeks to show signs, but once symptoms pop up, they're hard to miss!

𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿:
- Trouble swallowing
- Wobbly walking
- Acting strange
- Feeling lazy
- Fever
- Throwing up
- Not eating

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝟱 𝗳𝘂𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘀:
1. Cats are more likely to get rabies than dogs! 🐱 Who knew?
2. Even indoor-only pets can catch rabies if a bat or other wild critter sneaks in.
3. Rabies is nearly always deadly. There are only two choices for suspected cases: quarantine or euthanize. 😢
4. No live animal test exists for rabies. Diagnosis happens only after a pet has passed away.
5. No treatments are available for rabies, so prevention is key! 🛡️

𝗧𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲:
✔️ Make sure their rabies shots are up-to-date with a trip to the vet.
✔️ Keep dogs on a leash and cats indoors to avoid contact with wild animals.
✔️ Remove food sources from your yard to avoid attracting wildlife.

Here's a bonus! In August, Gregory Veterinary Clinic is gifting FREE rabies vaccines! Pets must be due for their vaccine and have a doctor appointment scheduled in August. Stay on top of your pet's health, and keep them safe and sound 💖

Meet Miss Lexi 🐾❤️ She is a wonderfully sweet girl who's heart is bigger than her smile and she needs a fur-ever family!

She loves people, cuddling, playing with toys, and going on car rides to get pup cups 💕 She is acclimated with dogs, but would be not ideal for a home with kitties. She is up to date on her wellness needs and is available for meet and greets.

Please help us give this girl the best home possible! If you are interested in adopting, please contact our office for more information.

🚨😺 ATTENTION PET PARENTS! 😺🚨

July has arrived and it's not just about fireworks and barbecues, my friends. It's National Lost Pet Prevention Month! That's right, as the good folks at Gregory Vet Clinic, we're here to ensure your furry pals stay exactly where they should be – with you!

So, let’s get into our TOP 3 TIPS that are more gripping than your pup on his favorite chew toy:

1. 🏠 Home Sweet Secured Home: Check fences for escape routes fit for a Houdini hound or a fence-scaling feline. No backyard? A window screen is your new best friend!

2. 🐾 The Leash Law: We know, Fido thinks he's the next great explorer, but leashes are in fashion for a reason – they keep wanderlust in check!

3. 🏷️ Tag 'Em Up: Make sure your pet’s ID tags are as up-to-date as your social media profiles. Nothing says “I'm lost” like an old phone number from three moves ago.

Remember, keeping them safe is no joking matter; but hey, who says we can’t have a chuckle while doing it? 😉 Stay vigilant and let's keep our pets where they belong – hogging the bed and stealing our hearts! 💖

🎆🐾 Important Update from Gregory Vet Clinic! 🐾🎆

But don’t worry! We’ve got some tips to keep your furry friends calm and safe during the fireworks:

Create a Safe Haven: Set up a cozy, quiet spot for your pets with their favorite toys and blankets.

Keep Them Indoors: Close the windows and curtains to reduce noise and flashes.

Consult Your Vet: If your pet gets very anxious, ask us vet about anxiety-reducing techniques or medications. 🐶🐱

If you have an urgent need while we’re closed, our friends at Urgent Paws are here to help! Reach them at (813) 252-1270. 📞🐾

Stay safe and have a pawsome 4th of July! 🎇🧨

🐾😹 Paws up, Tampa! It's National Adopt a Cat Month & we're feline good about it! 🙌

45 years ago, American Humane had a purr-fect idea to help our whiskered friends find their forever homes. They said, "Let's turn June into a cat-tastic celebration and get these furballs out of shelters and into laps!" And just like that, National Adopt a Cat Month was born - or should we say, littered? 😸

Now, we know shopping is fun, but adopting is even better! Imagine: instead of buying your next furry overlord at a store, you could save a life and make a friend with nine lives. That's what we call a win-win in the meow-niverse!

The folks at Gregory Vet Clinic in Tampa are all about those cuddles and purrs; they've seen first-hand how much love these shelter kitties have to give. We love cats so much, we have a dedicated cat area in our clinic to provide the upmost care to our feline companions. Schedule an appointment to come in or drop on by to check the area out.

We love to be smitten with kitten (or kitty) adoption stories below! 😻

Remember, if you're looking to welcome a new feline friend into your home, head on down to your local shelter!
