Spring has sprung! That means longer walks, lots to sniff, and fun activities to enjoy with your best friend. Here are some safety tips to keep in mind when enjoying the weather:

Toxic Plants
Spring is filled with new plants coming to life! However, many plant bulbs like Daffodils, Tulips, Hyacinths, and Iris or bushes like Azalea and Rhododendrons are toxic to dogs and cats! If you're unsure of a plant look it up using the ASPCA plant library https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants?

Fertilizers and Herbicides
As you encourage your newly budding plants, make sure you read the warnings on products. If you need more information call the product's company. Their contact information should be listed right on the packaging. Beware of Cocoa mulch! It is made from the same plant as chocolate and can cause the same problems to your pet as eating chocolate candy would.

Mushrooms
With the spring come mushrooms of all shapes and sizes. And just like with humans, most of them are toxic. It is best to walk the property and remove the mushrooms before letting your pet run free. If your pet does eat a wild mushroom, be sure to call the PetPoison Helpline. Treating mushroom toxicity right away gives the pet the best possible outcome.

Little miss Maeve came in today for her first visit and stole all of our hearts! 🩷🐾

Veterinarians crafted miniature snow shoes for a small mockingbird with deformed feet, recently rescued by the California Wildlife Center. The customized shoes aided in realigning its feet, restoring them to a normal bird's foot shape. Within a week, the bird's feet were successfully corrected, allowing it to walk independently.

Did you know?

Xylitol is highly toxic to animals and it is an ingredient in many common foods and snacks: peanut butter, candy, chewing gum and more.

Xylitol poisoning in dogs and cats can cause sudden hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), vomiting, weakness, seizures and collapse.

Make sure to check the ingredient list for all foods and OTC medications prior to giving them to your pets!

As pets age, they tend to need a little more TLC.

Increase your wellness exams to twice a year, be familiar with your pet’s routine and alert your vet to any changes in eating, drinking, bathroom breaks and such.

Happy International Cat Day!

We celebrate our feline friends who bring endless joy, comfort, and companionship to our lives.
