Top 5 Halloween Pet Safety Tips:

Keep 🍫CANDY🍬 Out of Reach - Pets have a keen sense of smell and can sniff out any candy stash. Some treats can be toxic for them, especially chocolate and sugar-free candy containing xylitol.
Keep Pets Indoors & Away from the Door - Avoid potential escapes by keeping your pet in a familiar room with their favorite toys, treats, and some calming music.
Identification is Key - In case your pet gets out, ensure they have proper ID, like a collar with a tag or, even better, a microchip.
Be Cautious with Costumes - If your pet is in costume, never leave them unattended. Make sure the costume is comfortable, free from dangling pieces, and doesn’t restrict their movement, breathing, or ability to bark/meow.
Ditch the Doorbell - Repeated knocks or doorbell rings can cause stress. Consider setting up a candy station in your car trunk or handing out treats on your porch.

If you suspect your pet has ingested a toxic substance please call us 252-823-1177

OR

📱Call 888-426-4435 the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center they are open 24 hours - 365 days of the year.

Have a SAFE, not scary Halloween night!

Today is day 3 of National Veterinary Technician Week in Missouri
🦒🐁🦈🦜🦎🐖🐇🐫🦢🕷🐠

Did you know?

You won't find vet techs just in clinics. Veterinary technicians can fill multiple roles outside of the clinic, too! Anywhere there are animals, there will be vet techs.

Happy start to Vet Tech Week! 🤎

👩‍⚕️🐕🐈🐎🐄🐍🐢🐬🐘🐒🦖
October 13-19, 2024 is National Veterinary Technician Week in Missouri.
🦒🐁🦈🦜🦎🐖🐇🐫🦢🕷🐠

This week, we will be providing some infographics about what vet techs are and what we do. To kick off NVTW, here is a BRIEF list of all of the duties a vet tech can do.

As a reminder, National Veterinary Technician Week should be reserved for celebrating veterinary technicians only, as other support staff have their own holidays and should be highlighted and celebrated individually. Please reconsider lumping everyone together for "staff appreciation week".

National Veterinary Technicians Week was started by the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA) in 1993 and is celebrated the third week in October.

Hey friends! 💕

Next week is national Veterinary Technician week and we would love your help in celebrating the awesome team that we have! 🩺💉💊🐾

Our girls work so hard everyday to make sure your furry family member is loved and cared for, often missing meal and bathroom breaks in order to make sure our patients have everything they need.

So if you know the importance of skilled and professional vet techs, be sure to give them a shout out to let them know you appreciate them!

Hey guys!

We're collecting donations at Albemarle Animal Hospital to support clinics and families affected by the recent hurricane. Dr. Weeks will be volunteering and delivering supplies directly to those in need.

If you can, please drop off any items you can spare—every little bit helps! We are supplying what we can for veterinary care and asking for donations of pet food and supplies as well as human essentials, such as toiletries, water and non-perishable foods!

Let’s come together to make a difference to help our fellow clinics help their patients in this major time of need! ❤️🐾

Thank you for your support!

Heartworms are born, live and die inside of dogs--with a stop along the way inside mosquitoes. That's why your dog needs year-round heartworm prevention AND yearly heartworm testing. https://bit.ly/3wCYi0G
