🍂🐾 Thanksgiving is a time for delicious meals and gathering with loved ones, but some holiday foods can pose serious risks to your pets! 🦃🚫 Keep them safe by avoiding:
❌ Turkey Bones – These can splinter and cause choking or internal injuries.
❌ Fatty Foods – Items like turkey skin or gravy can lead to painful pancreatitis.
❌ Stuffing – Often seasoned with toxic ingredients like onions, garlic, or herbs.
❌ Desserts – Chocolate and xylitol (found in sugar-free treats) are highly toxic to pets.
Protect your furry friends this holiday season! ❤️🐶🐱
🚨 Holiday Hours:
We’re closed on Thanksgiving Day but will be open regular hours (10 AM – 7 PM) the day before and after. If your pet needs urgent care, we’re here for you! 🩺✨

👻Halloween Pet Safety Tips🎃
As the spooky season unfolds, it’s time to embrace the festive spirit! While we all enjoy the thrills of Halloween, our furry friends may not share the same excitement. To ensure a howling good time for both pets and humans, here are four essential safety tips.
🍫No Tricks, Just Treats—Keep Candy Away!: Chocolate, raisins and sugar-free candies containing xylitol are toxic to pets. Make sure all treats are kept in a secure place where pets can't access them.
🎀Dress to Impress, But Keep It Stress-Free!: If you dress up your pet, ensure their costume fits properly and doesn’t restrict movement, breathing, or vision. Avoid small accessories that could be chewed off and swallowed.
🏠Creep it Real: Keep Pets Indoors!: The excitement of Halloween can be stressful for pets. Keep them indoors to prevent them from becoming frightened, lost, or exposed to pranks.
🕷️Watch Out for Those Spooky Decorations!: Curious pets may chew on electrical cords, pumpkins, or decorations, posing fire hazards or risk of injury. Make sure any decorations are safely out of their reach.
With a little preparation, you can enjoy a spook-tacular Halloween while keeping your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free.
🚨If your pet gets into any type of chocolate, raisins, or sugar-free candies, please head immediately to one of our First State Urgent Vet locations, where our skilled team will be ready to assist your pet.🩺
