Pamper your pooch this festive season, fill their stocking with some 'homemade' treats and stay away from those rawhide bones and easy to swallow toys.

And remember, people food is for people, things like onions and garlic, raisins and walnuts are a staple at our holiday table, but toxic to our furry friends.

Happy Holidays!

Thanksgiving is a time to put differences aside and be grateful for our family, friends, and of course, our pets!
Pets show unconditional love no matter what. The do not judge, they don't see race, color, religion or politics. They just see...you.

We can learn much from our furry friends, we just have to listen.

Happy Thanksgiving from Adams Morgan Animal Hospital

With so much to be thankful for in our lives.. be sure not to leave anyone out. Our pets make our day a little brighter, a little calmer and a lot more interesting, all without muttering a word.
Imagine that 😊

Chilly weather is on it's way, in some places, it's already here! Prep your pooch for the cold.
Invest in a sweater and booties for brisk winter walks
Keep fur between toes trimmed to keep ice balls from forming.
Wipe salt and snow covered feet after outdoor playtime, and use a paw balm.
Have a cozy and warm bed ready for a winter's nap.

Cats are naturally curious, they often get into things they shouldn't and for this reason, pet owners are usually fairly thorough when it comes to keeping cleaning products, poisonous plants and foods (ie: lilies, onions and garlic) out of sight.

But occasionally, by no fault of their own, our furbuddies are offered a fun, colorful, soft new toy, that could ultimately kill them.

These fuzzy little pom poms are very intriguing to cats, most of whom will simply bat them about, but some.... will eat them. (yes they can, and will) What they cannot regurgitate may get stuck in their intestines, often needing surgery to remove. By the time we realize there is an issue, they've stopped eating, they're walking poorly, and crying in pain. At this point their kidneys may have stopped functioning properly, and their gut is in bad shape and the outlook.... not good.

PLEASE, do not let your kitty have these seemingly innocent little fuzz balls (or any other small toy or object they can swallow). Scour your home for things on the floor, pen caps, toothpaste caps, gumbands etc...
How do I know this? ...... sadly, experience.

Do not hesitate to visit your vet or vet ER if you suspect your pet (cat, dog or other) has ingested something dangerous! It could save their lives.

Remember to keep candy away from your pets. If they do ingest some sweets, call your vet immediately, do not wait for signs to appear, do not induce vomiting. Be ready to answer questions like, "what kind of candy?" and "how much did they eat?"

Keep your Halloween goodies out of your pets reach!

Have a happy and save Halloween 🎃

Dogs are so much more than just pets. To a veteran, they are emotional and physical support, they help with anxiety and PTSD.

Today we recognize the importance of dogs and other animals who lift the spirits of the great men and women who have served so valiantly in our armed forces, offering unconditional love and companionship. 💕

Ready to add a new member to your family? Consider carefully what kind of pet is right for you. Puppies are sweet, adorable and mischievous, and of course a favorite among youngsters. But if you're looking for a pet who will simply curl up with you in front of the fire while you read a book, don't overlook older pets. They still have so much love left to give 💞
