September is Happy Healthy Cat Month! We celebrate our furry feline friends with lots of snuggles and love. Cats should be seen by a veterinarian at least once a year for vaccines and bloodwork. Your kitties should feel safe and protected at all times. Make sure they are microchipped or have some form of ID so they can be returned home if they get out. Most cats love to be groomed and brushed. Keeping them brushed daily will cut back on shedding and hairballs. If your kitty hasn't been seen this year by their veterinarian, please call us to schedule an appointment today!
Happy birthday to all shelter dogs today! Today is a special day to celebrate shelter dogs whose actual date of birth is unknown. Let's celebrate by adopting a shelter dog, donating to an animal shelter, or volunteering your time at an animal shelter. If you are unable to adopt or volunteer, you can still help by donating to an animal shelter. Every little bit helps.
Today is World Snake Day! It's a day to celebrate snakes, which are often underappreciated and misunderstood. They may be slimy and slithery, but they do have historic and medical significance. For example, the Staff of Aesculapius, the official symbol of the American Veterinary Medical Association, is a single snake with the letter "V" superimposed.
Today is National Pet Fire Safety Day!
♨️Pets cause over 1,000 house fires each year in the United States.
♨️Nearly 360,000 house fires occur each year in the United States.
♨️Over 40,000 pets die every year in house fires. Awareness can save lives.
The best way to protect your pet is to include them in your fire safety plan. Pet alert window clings, which should be available at your local fire house, that First Responders will see and know to look out for any pets inside.
There are many ways to keep your pet from causing a fire. Blow out candles before leaving home, block off access to the kitchen or remove stove knobs if pets can reach it, and keep any and all wires out of chewing distance.

Let's see some pictures of dogs that have won your hearts over and have been rescued.
