This is not a typical Pet Menders post giving you an update on the latest and greatest in veterinary medicine. Instead, a more somber note. We are sending out this post to all our clients with some big news. Heather Dillon, our receptionist and practice manager who has been here since 2003, will be leaving us to move to the Western Slope. Those of you who have been with us for a long time will remember Heather moved for a brief time in the early 2000s but returned. She has found happiness on the Western Slope and her last day will be Friday.
I know this will be sad news for many clients that have enjoyed her smile while greeting you when you come to Pet Menders, her spot-on phone etiquette and all-around quality of her work. We will too. We are sad to see her go, but happy for her. Please feel free to come by and say happy trails to Heather before she leaves on Friday.

Many think that as we head into cooler weather, we can ease up on our pets’ nutritional needs since they might not be exercising as much.

Today, we talk about black cat superstitions and wonder at all the myths and legends which surround them, and then embrace them as the fantastic feline they are. Black cats are found on every continent and in every culture, and it is no wonder as the black gene is the most dominant color for cats, particularly male cats.

Today we have a slight diversity of black cat colors. Solid black, known as a solid or self. These solid black cats can have three more different variations: coal black, grayish black, and brownish black. All three are considered solid black. There are three other black variations: black smoke, a black coat with white roots and rust black, and a black coat that turns light brownish in the sun. No matter which color a black cat is, one thing I think we all agree on is that black cats hold a fascination for us, and cat lovers will all agree that black cats are simply amazing!

Keep calm and keep pets safe this 4th of July! 🐾
Here are some more safety tips for pets on the 4th of July:

Indoor Haven: Keep your pets indoors during fireworks displays. Create a safe and quiet space where they can feel secure, such as a quiet room with their favorite toys and bedding.

Identification: Ensure your pet has proper identification, such as a collar with ID tags or a microchip. This is crucial in case they accidentally escape due to fear from fireworks.

No Fireworks: Never use fireworks around pets, as they can cause severe burns, trauma, or ingestion of harmful substances if pets chew on leftover fireworks.

Calming Environment: Consider playing soothing music or white noise to help mask the sound of fireworks. You can also use pheromone products (like Adaptil for dogs or Feliway for cats) to help reduce anxiety.

Supervision: If you're celebrating outdoors with your pet, always supervise them closely. Even well-behaved pets can get spooked and bolt unexpectedly.

Avoid Toxic Substances: Keep your pets away from alcoholic beverages, lighter fluid, matches, and citronella products, as these can be harmful if ingested.

Emergency Plan: Know the contact information for your nearest emergency veterinary clinic. In case of ingestion of toxic substances or injury, immediate medical attention may be necessary.

Comfort and Reassurance: If your pet is anxious, provide comfort without reinforcing fearful behavior. Speak calmly and offer treats or toys to distract them.

Remember, taking a few precautions can make a big difference in keeping your pets safe and comfortable during 4th of July celebrations!

🚨 What to Do If Your Dog is Bitten by a Snake! 🐍 Stay calm and follow these steps to ensure your furry friend's safety:

📞 Call your vet ASAP for guidance on next steps and treatment options. Provide details about the snake's appearance if possible.

🐾 Keep your pet calm and still to slow down the spread of venom through their bloodstream. Carry them if necessary to minimize movement.

🚑 Seek immediate medical attention from an emergency vet clinic or animal hospital equipped to handle snakebite cases.

⏰ Time is crucial, so don't delay in getting your dog the help they need. Every minute counts in saving their life.

💉 Avoid attempting to suck out the venom or applying a tourniquet, as these can worsen the situation and cause additional harm.

💦 If possible, identify the snake species, but don't put yourself or your pet at risk in the process. Take note of its color, size, and markings from a safe distance.

🧡 Offer comfort and reassurance to your dog during this stressful time. Your presence can help keep them calm and ease their anxiety.

🚗 Safely transport your pet to the vet, minimizing movement and stress along the way. Use a blanket or towel to handle them gently.

🏥 Be prepared to provide information about your dog's health history and the circumstances of the bite. This will help the vet assess the situation more effectively.

Our hearts go out to the families of the men and women of the military who have lost their lives in service to our country, including gratitude for the men and women who have trained the canine team members — and the dogs themselves — whose efforts have helped reduce the toll on human life in the many conflicts where these animals have served.
