Mosquito alert! One of the easiest and most impactful ways to control mosquito populations is to identify and remove all sources of standing water. Mosquitos, ticks, and fleas carry disease which can impact you and your pets!

**Keep Your Pets Safe This 4th of July! 🐾🇺🇸**

The 4th of July is full of fun, fireworks, and festivities, but the noise and chaos can be stressful for our furry friends. Here are some tips to keep your pets safe and calm:

1️⃣ **Ensure Proper Identification**: Make sure your pet has a collar with up-to-date ID tags. A microchip with current contact info is a lifesaver if they get lost. 🏷️

2️⃣ **Create a Safe Space**: Set up a quiet, comfortable area at home with their favorite toys, bedding, and water. Close windows and curtains to muffle fireworks noise. 🎆

3️⃣ **Avoid the Fireworks**: Loud bangs can scare pets. If your pet is noise-sensitive, keep them indoors and consider calming aids like anxiety vests or vet-recommended supplements. 🎇

4️⃣ **Skip the Party Chaos**: Crowds and loud music can overwhelm pets. Keep them in a secure, familiar space away from the festivities. 🎉

5️⃣ **Secure Your Home**: Double-check gates and doors to prevent escape during the commotion. A scared pet may bolt! 🚪

6️⃣ **Watch for Hazards**: Keep sparklers, glow sticks, and human food (like chocolate or alcohol) out of reach—many are toxic to pets. 🍔⚠️

7️⃣ **Stay Calm & Prepared**: If your pet seems anxious, stay calm and reassuring. Have your vet’s number and a local animal shelter’s contact handy in case of emergencies. 📞

💡 **Pro Tip**: Play soothing music or turn on the TV to help drown out fireworks noise. Let’s keep our pets safe and happy this Independence Day! 🐶🐱

Cat Owners: Protect Your Furry Friends from Cytauxzoonosis!

A serious tickborne disease, Cytauxzoonosis, has been found in local bobcats. While ticks on cats are rare, the American Dog Tick, which spreads this potentially deadly disease, is in our area. Symptoms can escalate quickly, including fever, jaundice, and severe illness, often requiring intensive care.

Take Action to Keep Your Cat Safe:
- Keep Cats Indoors: Keep your cat indoors to minimize tick exposure, especially in areas with wild cat populations.
- Use Tick Prevention: Ask your vet about safe, cat-specific tick control products (never use dog products on cats!).
- Lawn Care: Keep your yard tidy by mowing grass and clearing brush to reduce tick habitats.
- Learn more about this disease and how to protect your cat at: https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952731

Cytauxzoon felis is spread by tick bites. This condition has a very high mortality rate.
