While today is meant to be a silly, joyous holiday, there are safety precautions you should take any time you’re dressing up your pet.

- Make sure the clothing fits properly and doesn’t interfere with your pet’s sight, hearing, breathing, or movement.
- Avoid clothing with pieces that can be tripped over or chewed off.
- Never leave your pet unsupervised while dressed up.
- If your pet rejects the clothing, don’t force it.
- If your dog has a thick coat, choose a lightweight costume to prevent overheating.

Here are just a few of the reasons from the American Humane Society why you should participate in Walk Your Dog Month:

- Extra Bonding Time – When you walk your dog, it’s a great chance to give your undivided attention to your dog and let them know that you care for them. This is quality time spent together that can lead to greater trust and joy.

- Good Exercise – Did you eat too much over the holiday season? Walk Your Dog Month is the perfect opportunity to get in shape and shed off those extra pounds – for both you and your dog. A recent study found that 56 percent of dogs were found to be clinically overweight. This can reduce their life expectancy, overall quality of life and cause a multitude of other health issues. Good exercise not only has physical benefits, but it is also great mental stimulation and can decrease stress for both you and your pup. Additionally, it helps energetic dogs dispel some energy, which can make them calmer and prevent them from getting destructive out of boredom when in the house.

- Social Activity – Walking the dog means you are much more likely to meet other people in your neighborhood who are also out and about with their dogs. Both you and your dog have the chance to make new friends! Socializing your dog with other people and canines alike will help ensure no aggressive tendencies are developed.

- Training Opportunity – Walking your pup provides ample opportunity for training. A walk is a great time to focus on your dog and practice learning to heel, sit, stay or follow other basic commands. Practice makes perfect, so incorporating walks and practicing these skills during their everyday routine will make them even more successful.

Cuddling releases oxytocin. This hormone alone has tremendous health benefits. Besides giving us warm and fuzzy feelings, oxytocin reduces pain. So when the cold has made those muscles and joints ache, cuddling can help reduce those aches and pains.

Do: Cook, Skin, and Debone Turkey

Don’t: Feed Pets Salty, Fatty, or Seasoned Foods

Do: Serve Safe Fruits and Vegetables

Don’t: Let Pets Overindulge

In the Event of an Emergency
If your pet has taken a bite of something dangerous, stay calm while closely watching for red flags. It should be immediately obvious if your dog or cat is choking, but look out for these other symptoms of illness or poisoning that may take minutes or hours to arise:

Aggression
Diarrhea
Excessive panting and drooling
Fever
Repetitive behavior
Vomiting

5 Pet Positive New Year's Resolutions

Resolution #3 Incorporate more playtime
Resolution #4 Schedule a check-up with us!!!
Resolution #5 Update your pet’s ID info

We wanted to wish you a !

What are some of your resolutions for the year?

Noisy fireworks and other celebrations can startle animals and cause them to run away; holiday foods can be unhealthy; and potentially dangerous debris can end up lying on the ground where pets can eat or play with it.

- Leave your pets at home when you go to parties, fireworks displays, parades, and other gatherings. Loud fireworks, unfamiliar places, and crowds can all be very frightening to pets, and there’s a great risk of pets becoming spooked and running away.

- Consider putting your pets in a safe, escape-proof room or crate during parties and fireworks.

- Keep horses and livestock in safely fenced areas and as far from the excitement and noise as possible.

- If you’re hosting guests, ask them to help keep an eye on your pets to make sure they don’t escape. Placing notes on exit doors and gates can help both you and your guests remain vigilant.

Dog toys: How to pick the best and safest

It's "Safe Toys and Gifts Month" and we wanted to share an article from the humane society about safe toys for your pet!

https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/safe-dog-toys

Dog toys: How to pick the best and safest Toys are essential to keeping your dog happy and healthy. Get The HSUS's tips on the best and safest toys for your dog. We'll also tell you how to make the most out of your dog's toys.

Do you love cats as much as we do?

It's Cat Lovers' Month and we want to see some pictures of your lovely felines!

Humans have bonded with horses for a long time, so it only makes sense that there is a whole day dedicated to them!

There are quite a few reasons why International Veterinary Medicine Day and pets, in general, are important.

One reason is that animal health is linked to human health.

Many medicinal breakthroughs in veterinary medicine have helped improve human healthcare and treatment. Apart from vaccines, even organ transplants were first developed in animal care, and of course, pet animals have great therapeutic abilities.

Cat Is So Loud The Shelter Had To Put Up A Sign

“She was very loud the minute you walked into the room... Even when holding her, she was loud. It was obviously her personality... She loved her voice.”

Cat Is So Loud The Shelter Had To Put Up A Sign She's loud and proud.

We will be closing early this Friday 12/9/2022 for staff appreciation. We will close at 1 PM that day and re-open for normal business hours on Monday 12/12/22.
Thank you for your understanding.

Celebrate Shelter Pets Day:

If you already have a pet that you adopted from a shelter then, today would be a good day to spoil them with treats and extra hugs.

It's National Cookie Day. Here is a recipe for a healthy dog treat that you can try. Save this for a special occasion, or if you just want to treat your furry friend!

Ingredients
2 ½ cups whole wheat flour
2 large eggs
½ cup canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons peanut butter
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon water, or more if necessary (Optional)

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Combine flour, eggs, pumpkin, peanut butter, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl; stir with a spatula until combined.

Transfer the mixture to a work surface and work it with your hands until the mixture starts to come together. Add 1 teaspoon of water at a time (only if needed) to help make the dough workable, but don't add too much as it should be dry and stiff.

Roll the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces and transfer to a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until dog treats are golden brown and crunchy, about 40 minutes. Let cool before serving to your dog.
