Plan Ahead for a Stress-Free 4th of July!🎆
The 4th of July may still be a few weeks away, but now is the perfect time to start preparing if your pet struggles with fireworks, thunderstorms, or holiday festivities.

Many pets experience anxiety during fireworks displays, and medications or calming aids can help make the holiday more comfortable. If your pet has needed support in the past, please don’t wait until the last minute to request refills or discuss options with your veterinarian!

A few tips to help your pet have a calmer holiday:
🐾 Request anxiety medication refills early 🐾 Create a safe, quiet space for your pet
🐾 Make sure your pet’s ID tags and microchip information are up to date

Let’s work together to make this holiday as safe and stress-free as possible for your furry family members. ❤️🐶🐱

🩺Please join us in welcoming Dr. Mary Hufziger! 🩺

A Newtown native, Dr. Mary is excited to return home and care for the community’s pets.
She has recently graduated from the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in May! 🎓

Outside the clinic, she enjoys swimming, being outdoors, spending time with family, and reading a good book.

We’re so excited to have her on the team! 💙🐾

Max was hard at work this morning and proudly caught a mouse before most of us had our coffee! 🐱🐭
Cats have incredible hearing and can detect high-pitched sounds, helping them locate tiny prey like mice with impressive accuracy.
Looks like Max’s hunting instincts are still going strong! 😸✨

Mondays with Max 🐱🐾
Cats walk almost silently thanks to the thick, soft pads on their paws, which help absorb any impact and muffle sound! 👀
It’s part of what makes them such effective hunters… and very good at sneaking up on you when you least expect it. 🧡

With the temperatures beginning to rise, it is important to watch out for heatstroke in your pets.☀️🐶
Cars are one of the biggest risks. Even on a mild day, temperatures inside a parked vehicle can rise rapidly to dangerous levels, even with windows cracked!🚗

Certain dogs are at even higher risk, especially brachycephalic breeds like French Bulldogs, Pugs, Shih Tzu, and English Bulldogs. These breeds cannot cool themselves efficiently and can overheat quickly with minimal activity!🐾

Warning signs include heavy panting, drooling, weakness, and collapse. If you see these signs, seek veterinary care immediately.🩺

Important prevention tips:
-Seek shade when able
-Limit long walks and high-impact activity in the heat
-Offer water regularly
-Use a cool rag on their paws

Stay tuned for our Farm animal edition next week!🐮
