How does your pet show up during the holidays? 🎄🐾
Are they mischief and mayhem (stealing ornaments and sniffing the turkey)
or cuddly and cozy (blanket burrito mode activated)? 😼🦃
Maybe they’re the life of the party 🎉 or more of a “I’ll be in my safe corner, thanks” introvert. 😌

Thanksgiving is a big day for good food… but not everything on the table is safe for pets. 🦃🍂
Here are 5 items to keep out of paws’ reach this holiday:

Raisins & Grapes
Even small amounts can cause serious kidney problems.

Macadamia Nuts
These can lead to weakness, tremors, and vomiting in dogs.

Corn Cobs
They seem harmless, but they can easily cause a dangerous intestinal blockage.

Cooked Bones (Turkey, Ham, etc.)
They splinter, which can lead to choking or internal injury.

Xylitol (often found in baked goods, peanut butter, mints, etc.)
This sweetener can cause a rapid and life-threatening drop in blood sugar.

Holiday excitement can make it easy for pets to get into things they shouldn’t, so keeping these items up high and covered is a simple way to stay safe.

We hope your holiday is warm and full of happy memories. If you need us, we are here 24/7 for emergencies. 🐾💛

🚨 Public Health Reminder: Rabies Confirmed in Albemarle County. We want our community to be informed and prepared.

Key reminders:
✔️ Rabies is preventable with vaccination also it’s required by Virginia state law
✔️ Any possible exposure is a medical emergency including bites, scratches, and any contact to open wounds
✔️ Changes in behavior—staggering, aggression, unusual friendliness, or excessive salivation—are red flags
✔️ Outdoor cats are at high risk, even in rural neighborhoods, but indoor cats are required to receive the vaccination as well

Please ensure your pets are current on rabies vaccines and keep them supervised outdoors. If you see a wild or stray animal acting abnormally, contact animal control immediately.
Your vigilance keeps our community—and your pets—safe.

Heads up, pet parents! 🦃🍁
The holidays are almost here, and we know this time can get busy. While your primary care vet may have adjusted hours, our emergency team will continue to be here 24/7 for urgent and critical needs.

If your pet takes daily medication or needs a refill, now is a great time to reach out to your primary care veterinarian to request those refills before the holiday closures.

Wishing you and your pets a safe and cozy holiday season! 💛🐾
We’re here if you need us — day, night, and throughout the holiday.

When you work 12-hour shifts, overnights, and sometimes juggle multiple jobs, those little comfort moments really count. 🥤💙

Is your pet ready for Thanksgiving? 🦃🐾
Before the holiday rush sneaks up, here’s a quick checklist to make sure your four-legged family is good to go:

✅ Medications refilled
If your pet takes daily meds, now’s the time to request refills from your primary vet.

✅ Enough prescription diet on hand
Holiday closures can delay food orders.

✅ Boarding plans confirmed
Spots fill quickly. If traveling, call ahead to double-check.

✅ Vaccines up-to-date
Most boarding facilities require current vaccines (including Bordetella).

✅ Know your emergency backup
If you’re traveling or hosting, look up the closest 24/7 emergency vet and save the number in your phone.
(We will be open 24/7 for emergencies throughout the holiday.)

A little preparation now means more time for cozy naps, safe treats, and stress-free family time later. 💛🐾

Happy National Slobber Appreciation Day! 🐾💦
Yes… it’s a real day. And honestly? It tracks.

Today we honor the drool slingers, bubble blowers, and water bowl tsunami creators.
From the “I just took a drink” chest waterfall to the “I was thinking about snacks” slime string… we salute them. 😅

Show us your pet’s best slobber moments below.
The wetter the better. 📸👇

Crikey!” It’s Steve Irwin Day! 💚

Today we celebrate Steve Irwin Day — a tribute to passion, bravery, and a life dedicated to animals. 💚
His enthusiasm reminds us daily why we do what we do — helping animals in their most critical moments with compassion and courage.

Crikey! Here’s to all the animal heroes — in clinics, in rescues, and in the wild. 🐾💚

Today is World Diabetes Day! 💙
While it’s a day to raise awareness for people, it’s also the perfect reminder that November is Pet Diabetes Awareness Month.

Just like humans, pets can develop diabetes — especially as they age or gain weight.
Early signs can include:
🍽️ Increased hunger
💧 Excessive thirst or urination
⚖️ Weight loss despite eating well
😴 Low energy or sudden vision changes

If you notice these changes, reach out to your family vet right away.
And remember — if your pet shows severe lethargy, vomiting, or weakness, our ER is open 24/7 to help stabilize them safely. 🐾
