Although the Fourth of July may be fun for us, it can be very stressful for our pets. The fireworks and other loud noises associated with this holiday can cause our pets to be afraid, and sometimes they run away from home. PACC is currently offering free microchips which can help to reunite lost pets with their families. If your pet is not currently microchipped, please consider getting them chipped in preparation for the holiday!

As a reminder, the 4th of July is quickly approaching. If your pet struggles with fireworks and other loud noises that come with the holiday, please let us know today so we can help! 🎆🎇🧨

🐰🌷🐣 Easter is a wonderful time for families, including our furry friends! 🐾 As you prepare for the festivities, here are some essential pet care tips to ensure a safe and happy Easter for your beloved companions:

1️⃣ Chocolate Alert: Keep all chocolates, especially those Easter eggs, out of reach of pets. Chocolate is toxic to cats and dogs and can lead to serious health issues if ingested.

2️⃣ Watch Those Treats: While Easter goodies are delicious for us, many are harmful to pets. Keep an eye on those sugary treats and make sure they don't end up in your pet's paws.

3️⃣ Mind the Decor: Be cautious with Easter decorations like plastic grass and decorative eggs. These items can pose choking hazards or cause intestinal blockages if ingested by curious pets.

4️⃣ Easter Lilies: While beautiful, lilies are highly toxic to cats. Keep these flowers far away from your feline friends to prevent accidental ingestion.

5️⃣ Supervised Egg Hunts: If you're planning an egg hunt, ensure it's pet-friendly. Keep a close watch to prevent pets from snacking on hidden eggs, which can be dangerous if they contain chocolate or other harmful substances.

Let's make this Easter a joyous and safe celebration for everyone, including our beloved pets!
