The time to get your pets medication for the 4th of July is NOW.
Fireworks are fun, but not for your pet. In fact, fireworks scare most pets and cause a significant amount of fear, anxiety and stress. The two weeks surrounding Fourth of July are statistically the most common time to see lost pets who have run away from the scary sights, sounds and vibrations. We see a 40% increase in lost and missing pets during this time.
Please ensure that your pet is safe and secure and give them anxiety medication or supplements to help them through this time while we enjoy our celebrations.
We have natural calming supplements available: no appointment necessary for the following anxiety relief:
Feliway for cats, Adaptil for dogs
Composure
Zylkene
We have anxiety medications available that are NOT sedatives. They are very safe and effective and may help your pet feel much more calm and relaxed but should not cause them to be “drugged up”
As long as your pets annual exam is up to date, no appointment is necessary. If we have never seen your pet or their annual is overdue then we may require an exam to dispense these medications.
Trazadone
Gabapentin
We also have sample kits with a combination of all natural supplements and medications that way you can have several options available.
Calm Kitty Kit
Chill Dog Travel Kit
Call or text us ASAP to get what you need for your pet. Do NOT wait until the last minute as we are very busy and we want to make sure we get what you need without being rushed or missing us after we close. We will be closed Friday July 4th and will open again Monday July 7th at 7:30am.

Say hello to Taffy, one of our adult VIPs. She is the absolute sweetest! Taffy loves her marrow bones, going for walks and her stuffed elephant. Her favorite game to play is tug. 😊
