It's hard to leave your pets at home when you have errands to run, but being separated could cause your pet to become overly anxious. It's important to be aware of separation anxiety to help your pet overcome it.

Make sure to schedule an appointment with your VCA veterinarian to discuss how to handle your pet's separation anxiety.

Today is World Rabies Day.
World Rabies Day is celebrated on September 28th to honor Louis Pasteur, the developer of the rabies vaccine. The goal of this observance day is to raise global awareness about rabies prevention. Despite being 100% preventable, rabies still claims nearly 70,000 lives annually. CDC collaborates with many agencies and organizations to promote World Rabies Day worldwide.
In Lake County, Ohio, all dogs, cats, and ferrets over four months old must be vaccinated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian.

This week is National Dog Week.
National Dog Week is held during the fourth week of September every year. The week was first introduced by Captain William Judy in 1928.
His goal with National Dog Week was to improve the lives of dogs and show his gratitude for their unwavering loyalty and dedication. He wanted to help educate his fellow dog owners about how to take care of dogs, help dogs in shelters find forever homes, and even ensure that they lived in better conditions.
Today, National Dog Week is a great opportunity to spare time for dogs of all breeds and ages, whether they’ve found a forever home or are in a shelter.

26/09/2024

Today is Remember Me Thursday
Remember Me Thursday is an international social media awareness day that brings attention to the millions of adoptable pets waiting in shelters, as it tries to provide honor to those who haven’t yet made it out.
Giving honor to animals who are left behind in shelters is what Remember Me Thursday is all about.
Share a picture of your rescue with us and lets all spread awareness of all the pets that still need their furever homes.

Today is su***de prevention day.
Su***de is a major public health challenge, with more than 700 000 deaths each year globally. Each su***de has far-reaching social, emotional, and economic consequences, and deeply affects individuals and communities worldwide.
Did you know the Veterinary industry is in the top 5 of professions with the highest su***de rates?
The root cause of mental health challenges in the veterinary profession is often the very thing that made us choose these passion-filled careers in the first place: our commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate care for the animals we love. These daily pressures, which we often put on ourselves, can be compounded with other factors, such as high rates of student debt, abusive behavior from clients and moral distress.
Veterinary professionals’ exposure to euthanasia also introduces a unique factor. Our profession excels at addressing quality-of-life and end-of-life care for our patients. As pet lovers, we care deeply for pets, and euthanasia is difficult every time. We not only feel our own emotions over the loss of the pet that was in our care, but we also bear witness to the sadness experienced by that pet’s family.
Let's all try harder to do better, be better and be there for others.

28/08/2024

Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day.
Did you know that on August 28, 2013, Mr. Jazz, the beloved kitty of Zee & Zoey’s Cat Chronicle blog author Deborah Barnes, breathed his last. Deborah Barnes founded the day to honor her cat, Mr. Jazz, and it's intended to help heal the pain of loss. August 28 of each year is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, which is celebrated to commemorate your beloved pet that’s passed on. Keep your animal friend’s memory alive annually with a ceremony or sharing of stories, poems, videos, or pictures, and create mementos to honor the love and comfort they impacted your life with.
We would be honored if you would share pictures and stories of your pets, that have crossed the Rainbow bridge, with us.

HAPPY NATIONAL DOG DAY!!!!
Founded in 2004 by Animal Welfare Advocate, Author and Pet Lifestyle Expert,
Colleen Paige, National Dog Day celebrates all breeds, mixed and pure and serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, either from public shelters, rescues and pure breed rescues.
National Dog Day honors family dogs and dogs that work selflessly to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort. Dogs put their lives on the line every day - protecting our families and homes, for their law enforcement partner, for their blind companion, for the disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs and drugs and helping to locate and rescue victims of accidents and tragedy.
Share pics of your fur babies with us to celebrate!

It's hard to believe that summer is almost over and Labor Day weekend will be here soon. This doesn't mean an end to warm weather, here are some important tips to keep your pet cool and comfortable while temperatures are still high and other pet safety tips.

Dangerous foods:

Whether you’re having a barbecue or eating indoors, don’t give your pet any raisins, grapes, onions, chocolate or products with the sweetener xylitol. Keep all alcoholic beverages away from your pet. Don’t allow access to meat skewers or bones.

Water safety:

If you and your pet will be spending the holiday weekend near a pool or on a beach, never leave your pet unsupervised by the water. If you have a pool, show your pet how to use the steps to get out of it. Some dogs aren't natural swimmers, so make sure yours knows how to dog paddle. For rivers, lakes and the ocean, be aware of the currents, tides and underwater hazards before you let your pet take a dip.

Parasite prevention:

While they're a problem all year long, parasites like fleas, ticks and mosquitoes become more active in warmer weather. If you already have your pet on a year-round parasite prevention plan, you’re wisely keeping your pet and family protected. But if not, the time to bring your pet in for a visit is now.

Water and shade:

Make sure your pet always has plenty of fresh, clean water available and access to a shady spot outdoors.

Never leave your pet in your car!:

When you’re running errands, it’s best to leave your pet at home. Even when parked in the shade or with the windows cracked open, the temperature inside a car can quickly rise. The Humane Society of the United States reports that when it’s 85 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car can reach 102 degrees within only 10 minutes and 120 degrees in half an hour.

Heat stroke:

Young, old and overweight pets, as well as those with flat faces, like Bulldogs, Pugs and Persian cats, are more susceptible to heat stroke. Be aware of the symptoms, which can range from heavy panting, glazed eyes and a rapid heartbeat to vomiting, seizures, and loss of consciousness. Move your pet to a shady or air-conditioned spot and place ice packs or cold towels on their head, neck and chest, or splash cool, not cold, water over your pet. Take your pet to a veterinarian immediately.

Avoid hot surfaces:

If the sidewalk or asphalt is too hot for your bare feet, it's too hot for your pet's paws. Take walks in the early morning or evening to avoid hot surfaces.

Backyard hazards:

Keep citronella candles, Tiki torches and insect repellent coils away from your pet's reach. Don't allow your pet to go near areas of your yard where any rodenticides and insecticides have been sprayed. Call us if you think your pet has ingested a poisonous substance.

Fireworks:

Never use fireworks around your pet. Many pets are frightened by the loud noise of fireworks displays and may try to run away, so keep your pet in a quiet, escape-proof area of your home. If your dog suffers upon hearing loud noises related to fireworks or thunderstorms, we encourage you to reach out to us to discuss treatment options.

August is itchy pet awareness month!
Did you know...
Allergies are a misguided reaction to foreign substances by the body’s immune system, which, of course, people and pets can suffer from. There are quite a few different types of allergies in dogs. Skin allergies, food allergies, and environmental allergens all pose challenges for dogs and their owners, and to make things more complicated, the symptoms of all these different types of allergies can overlap.
Talk to your Veterinarian at your next appointment if you think your pet may have allergies. We are here to help both you and your pet.

Since we are in the midst of summer here is some heartworm information for you.
This nasty worm is transmitted by mosquitoes and lives in the chambers of the heart and in the lungs. If left untreated, heartworm disease is fatal. Preventing this disease with medication is much better than trying to cure it after infection occurs.
We can check for heartworms with a simple blood test. Come see us for your pets heartworm test today and get some heartworm prevention.
