Keep Halloween fun, not frightening for your pets! Here are a few common Halloween hazards to watch out for:

⚠️ Treats & candy – Chocolate, xylitol, and raisins can be toxic.

⚠️ Decorations – Cords, candles, and fake cobwebs can cause burns or injuries.

⚠️ Costumes – Ensure they’re comfortable, breathable, and don’t restrict movement.

⚠️ Noise & door traffic – Trick-or-treaters can stress pets out or lead to escapes.

Tip: Keep pets in a quiet, safe room during the busiest hours, and always supervise them if they’re wearing a costume.

If your pet gets into a Halloween scare, call us right away. We’re here to help. 🐶🐱👻

🎃 Halloween is fun, but it can be tricky for pets.

A few safety reminders from your veterinary team:
• Keep candy out of reach (especially chocolate & xylitol)
• Avoid glow sticks—they’re not chew toys
• Choose pet-safe costumes without strings or choking hazards

Not sure if your pet is Halloween-ready? Give us a call, we’re happy to help!

Fall is a great season for walks and play—but it also brings some risks:

🌙 Darker evenings – Use reflective gear to stay visible.
❄️ Cooler temps – Seniors and small breeds may need a jacket.
🦝 Wildlife activity – Keep pets leashed to avoid surprises.
🍁 Leaf piles – Fun to jump in, but can hide ticks, mold, or sharp sticks.

👉 If your pet gets injured or spooked, we’re just a call away.

💳 Concerned about cost? We accept the CareCredit credit care*, a flexible payment option that covers pet care and even personal healthcare needs, too.

“I love to share what I know—not by doing things for people, but by showing them how,” she says. “Watching someone have that lightbulb moment—that’s what keeps me motivated.” 💡

Thank you, Linda, for growing leaders, inspiring teams, and living our core values every day.

At Lakefield Veterinary Group, we believe every veterinary professional leaves a lasting impact—on their teams, their clients, and their communities.

Emergency or Urgent Care? Knowing the difference can help you get your pet the right care, faster. 🐾

🚨 Emergency Care is for life-threatening situations, like severe trauma, difficulty breathing, seizures, or uncontrolled bleeding.

🚑 Urgent Care is for issues that need same-day attention but aren’t immediately life-threatening, like ear infections, minor wounds, vomiting, or limping.

Not sure which your pet needs? Call us! Our team is here to guide you and make sure your pet gets the right care without delay.

We also understand that urgent or emergency visits can come unexpectedly, and so can the costs. That’s why we accept the CareCredit credit card*, which offers flexible, budget-friendly financing options to help you pay over time for your pet’s care. If approved, you can use it right away, for both your pet’s health and even your own personal healthcare needs.

Because when it comes to your pet’s health, you shouldn’t have to wait.

September is Disaster Preparedness Month, and that includes pets, too. Whether it’s a hurricane, wildfire, flood, or unexpected emergency, having a plan can make all the difference. Make sure your pet’s emergency kit is stocked with food, water, medications, important records, and more. Don’t forget comfort items like a favorite toy or blanket!

Being prepared means peace of mind for you and your pets.

If approved, you can use it right away, for both your pet’s health and even your own personal healthcare needs.

Let’s make sure your pet stays happy, healthy, and thriving at every age. 💛
