Is your pet feeling itchy? Have you noticed them scratching more than usual? The warmer months of spring and summer are prime time for seasonal allergies for people AND pets. It’s common to see dogs scratching more than usual this time of year. While this is often attributed to an allergy, your veterinarian can determine the specific cause and recommend a treatment plan to help relieve your itchy pet.

· 🐾🏡 Happy Adopt a Shelter Pet Day! 🐾🏡

Today, we celebrate the love, joy, and countless tail wags that shelter pets bring into our lives. Adopting a pet from a shelter not only saves a life but also opens your heart to a lifetime of unconditional love and companionship.
Whether you're looking for a playful pup, a cuddly cat, or a small critter to call your own, there's a shelter pet waiting for their forever home. By adopting, you're not just giving them a second chance – you're becoming their hero.

Let's spread awareness about the importance of adoption and encourage others to consider opening their hearts and homes to a shelter pet. Share your adoption stories, photos, or tips for new pet parents in the comments below, and let's make today a celebration of love and compassion! 🐶😺❤️

Look at these sweet little babies! 🥰

‼️WE’VE GOT MORE KITTENS‼️

These cuties were rescued from a hoarding situation in the area by one of the local TNR groups. We were asked if we might have room and we happily took them in! Who could resist such little puffballs? Especially that one that’s ZONED IN on the camera! 😂😂😂

They’re getting dried and warmed in the photo. We have to be careful when using a hair dryer that it’s not too hot/on them for too long because we don’t want to risk burning them.

Of course having this many mouths to feed takes a lot of supplies so if you are able to donate please consider doing so!

🌸 As spring blooms and we spend more time outdoors with our furry companions, it's crucial to remember the importance of heartworm prevention. Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes. Contact us today to schedule a visit to discuss with your doctor and get recommendations for prevention.

🌳 Hippity, hoppity, Easter is on its way, and so is potential danger to your pets. Here are four items that can pose a risk:



The Easter Lily – While one of the most popular plants this time of the year, it is also one of the most poisonous. Easter lilies are highly toxic to cats. Additionally, the Tiger Lily, Rubrum Lily, Japanese Show Lily and certain species of the Daylily are also poisonous to cats. Avoid any bouquets with lilies and instead opt for a safer option like Easter orchids, roses, or daisies.



Chocolate – Easter baskets are often overflowing with chocolate eggs and rabbits. Animals are extremely sensitive to theobromine and caffeine. High levels of both are found in dark and baking chocolate. Ingesting dark or baking chocolate can be fatal for pets.



Sugar-free gum and candies – These items are often made with xylitol, a sugar substitute that causes a dog’s blood sugar to drop quickly. This poisoning can be treated but causes liver failure if not treated properly.



Easter basket grass – The springtime version of Christmas tinsel entices both canines and felines alike. Easter basket grass can cause choking or intestinal obstruction in pets if ingested.
