Happy New Years Eve! We will be closed tomorrow, January 1st, 2025!

As New Year's Eve can be a stressful time for our pets, here's how to make them feel safe and comfortable throughout the festivities:
🎉Wear them out this afternoon by going for a walk or play time.
🎉Make sure they have a safe place in the house to go.
🎉Play music or turn on the TV to drown out the sounds made by fireworks.
🎉If you know your pet is fearful of fireworks, make sure to give them their anti-anxiety medications. We recommend giving these meds at least 2 hours prior to any fireworks starting.
🎉Make sure your pet's microchip and any other identifications are up to date with your current phone number and address in the event your pet escapes.

🐾 Curious kitties and puppies may try to play with or chew on decorations such as ornaments, lights, tinsel, bows, etc. Try to pet proof your decorations by choosing shatterproof ornaments, unplugging lights when not in use, and avoiding tinsel/flocking.

Only 6 days left! 🐾

🎄Only 8 days left!

While holidays are a great opportunity to get together with family and friends, these events can also cause stress and anxiety for our pets. Make sure your pets have a quiet place they feel safe in and can get away to if they aren’t feeling very social. 🎄

🍫The big day is drawing near and we are down to the single digits!

Remember, chocolate is toxic to our furry friends, as is xylitol (a sweetener in many candies, gum, some peanut butter, and many other treats). So share with your family and friends, just not the furry nor four legged variety. 🍫

🎁 As you wrap (and unwrap) gifts this holiday season, be sure to avoid leaving item such as bags, paper, tape, ribbons, string, etc. where your pets can get to them. These can cause obstructions within the gastrointestinal system. 🎁

🐾🍪 Happy Gingerbread Decorating Day! We hope you are able to make many memories with family and friends this holiday season. Please remember that our furry friends don’t tolerate and process our food the same way we do, and sharing is not always caring for them. 🍪🐾

🎄✨ It’s Friday the 13th… but don’t worry, it’s also the First Day of Christmas! ✨🎄

Lucky or spooky? We say both! While the superstitions of Friday the 13th might make some nervous, it’s the perfect time to kick off the holiday season with a little festive magic.

On the first day of Christmas, we’re gifting you… good vibes and a touch of Christmas cheer to make this Friday a little less scary and a lot more merry! 🕊️

Stay safe, stay jolly, and let the holiday countdown begin! 🎅🎁
