🌟 Check out this cutie! 🌟 We had the pleasure of seeing Pebbles for her second veterinary visit and vaccine boosters. She was such a brave girl and loved all the cuddles and tiny treats we gave her! 🐾💕 We sent her home with a ton of great goodies from our Healthy Start program for puppies and kittens. Can’t wait to see her again!

🎃🐾 **Halloween Pet Safety Tips!** 🐾🎃

As Halloween approaches, it's important to keep our furry friends safe from common hazards. Here’s a simple breakdown of things to watch out for:

1. Chocolate: This Halloween treat is toxic to dogs and cats. Even small amounts can cause serious health issues, so keep those candies out of reach!

2. Candle-Lit Pumpkins: While they add a spooky vibe, flickering candles can be a fire hazard. Curious pets might knock them over, leading to burns or fires. Opt for battery-operated candles instead!

3. Costumes: Some pets may not enjoy wearing costumes and can feel stressed or constricted. If you dress them up, ensure they’re comfortable and can move freely.

4. Xylitol: This artificial sweetener is found in many sugar-free candies and gums. It’s extremely toxic to pets and can lead to life-threatening health issues.

5. Decorations: Keep an eye on wires, small ornaments, and other decorations. They can be choking hazards or cause digestive blockages if chewed on.

6. Fireworks: The loud noises can be terrifying for pets, causing anxiety and even leading them to run away. Keep them indoors in a quiet space during celebrations.

Let's keep our fur babies safe and enjoy a fun-filled Halloween!

Today is Su***de Prevention Day, a reminder of the importance of mental health awareness, especially within the veterinary profession. A study by the Centers for Disease Control in 2019 revealed a concerning truth: veterinarians are two to four times more likely to die by su***de than the general population. This highlights a critical need for support and understanding in a field that often bears heavy emotional burdens.

Organizations like Not One More Vet (NOMV) advocate for veterinary mental health, aiming to create a profession that prioritizes sustainable well-being. Their mission is to transform how mental wellness is perceived and addressed in the veterinary community by providing education, resources, and crucial support to help veterinary professionals not just survive but thrive.

It's essential to recognize the challenges faced by veterinary staff, including receptionists, technicians, assistants, and management. Each role plays a vital part in the overall function of the clinic, yet the demands of the job can take a significant toll on mental health. The pressure of caring for animals, managing crises, and supporting pet owners during difficult times can lead to overwhelming stress.

Having compassion and patience for veterinary staff is crucial. A little understanding goes a long way in fostering a supportive work environment. By acknowledging the emotional weight of their work and promoting mental health resources, we can help ensure that those who dedicate their lives to caring for animals receive the care and support they deserve. Let's all commit to being vigilant about mental health and offering kindness to our veterinary professionals today and every day.
