Today is World Spay Day, an annual campaign that aims to encourage people to save animal lives by spaying and neutering companion animals and community cats. Preventing unwanted litters is the most effective way to reduce the overpopulation of homeless pets. Talk to your veterinarian about spaying or neutering your pet today!

We recently learned of the unfortunate closure of the Save This Life microchip company, and owners of cats or dogs that have microchips of their pets registered with this company need to take action to register their chips with another company. This will assure that if their pets are lost, these chips can be scanned and used to return them to their owners.

If you don’t know which company your pet’s microchip is registered with, you can have it scanned by your veterinarian or check the American Animal Hospital Association’s microchip lookup tool using your pet’s microchip number at: https://hubs.la/Q0381gmJ0

It is important to make sure that your pet’s microchip is registered and that your contact information is up to date. If your pet is ever lost, they will be scanned by a shelter or veterinarian for a microchip. The microchip ID number will lead to a registry with your contact information that can be used to reunite you with your pet.

Here are a couple of companies offering free registration of any brand of microchip:
· Free Pet Chip Registry: https://hubs.la/Q0381ghZ0
· 24Petwatch: https://hubs.la/Q03813bb0

Despite the overwhelming evidence supporting the benefits of spaying and neutering, misconceptions still abound. It is essential to address and dispel these myths to encourage informed decision-making.

Despite the common belief that ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes are only active in warmer months, these pests can cause big problems for your dog at any time during the year. They are not only a nuisance, but they can transmit diseases to your dog. The best way to protect your dog against them is year-round tick, flea, and heartworm disease protection.

Despite the common belief that ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes are only active in warmer months, these pests can cause problems for your dog at any of the year.

Did you know that February is National Cat Health Month, among other things?

It's important to have your cat examined at least once per year (and twice per year if they are seniors) to make sure that he/she is remaining as healthy as possible.
Sometimes, you may not see subtle changes at home - such as progressive weight loss or progressive appetite loss - that may be more evident at a check-up with your veterinarian.
When in doubt, an exam with your veterinarian is the best advice that we can give!

It’s National Cat Health Month at Animal Behavior College - Over 24,000 students starting animal careers. Enroll today!

🥚🥛🍖 Many consumers are concerned about how farm animals are treated, particularly when it comes to confinement, overcrowding, and care.
✨️ Rest assured, farmers prioritize animal welfare and go above and beyond to ensure their animals are treated with respect and compassion. 🐷🐣🐮

🧼 🩺 On farms like those found here in New York, animals are provided with clean, comfortable housing, plenty of space to roam, and access to proper nutrition and veterinary care.

🤍🗝️ Humane practices are key to ensuring animals are healthy and productive throughout their lives.

Happy Valentine's Day! While you may be receiving or giving flowers and chocolate today, it is important to remember that these things can be dangerous to cats and dogs. Here are some tips to keep your pet safe on Valentine's Day.

Valentine’s Day can be as much fun for pets as it is for humans—as long as dangerous items are kept out of paws’ reach!

02/13/2025

As Valentine’s Day approaches, there will be more chocolate treats and flowers around homes than usual, which can pose a threat to our pets. Many flowers are toxic to dogs and cats, such as Lillies, Foxgloves, Daffodils and Tulips. The list goes on. We urge you to research what flowers are safe for your pets, especially if you have them around your house.

Many of us are aware that chocolate is toxic to dogs, however it's also toxic to cats. Chocolate contains the ingredients caffeine and theobromine, both of which are harmful to cats. In large amounts, it can cause death.
