🎉⏰HAPPY NEW YEAR from Mobile Animal Care! 🎊🥂🍾
🎆 A few quick tips for our furry friends who don't enjoy fireworks and loud celebrations:
- Tire them out! Take them on a long walk, go for a run, or play hard. This will ensure that your pet can sleep peacefully through the noise. If they don't sleep, at least they will be less stressed.
- Keep away from the fireworks and find a safe, quiet place to chill! Many pets are lost on 4th of July and New Years because they get scared and take off. Avoid outside trips after 10pm if possible. If you must, it's best to have your pet wear a harness and a collar with identifying info tags. Find the quietest spot in your house, set up some cozy blankets/pet bed away from windows.
- Distract! Provide favorite toys or treats that will keep them focused for long periods. We recommend a frozen Kong with peanut butter, Greek yogurt, or Cheez-Whiz to extend play time.
- Burrito! If you don't have a Thunder-shirt for your pet, you can use a large blanket, wide ace bandage, scarf or towel to wrap your pet up. It will feel like a hug, or weighted blanket. Studies have shown that being compressed reduces stress and anxiety in pets. It should be snug but not too tight.
- Buddy system! If possible, don't leave your pet home alone if you know they're upset by all the noise.
- Calming aids! If you feel your pet needs additional help regarding their phobia, we recommend trying a natural calming supplement. Most pet treats that market themselves as "calming" have tryptophan, theanine, chamomile, and even melatonin. These are all safe, food-based ingredients that won't knock your pet out, but may help them relax slightly.

Just a reminder to anyone looking in getting a pet for the upcoming Holidays. A animal isn't just a pet they're part of the family and also a 15-20 year commitment.

Salt dough (made of flour, water and salt) is a cheap and easy way to craft during the holidays. Just remember to keep pets away from this dough. As its name suggests, salt dough has a LOT of salt 🧂 in it and can lead to unsteadiness, muscle tremors, and can be fatal for pets. 💀

If you are looking for a safer alternative, buying clays like air dry clays that have the AP seal, which indicates they are safer, are the way to go. For these doughs, while some tummy upset may still occur if your pet accidently eats it, it should not be potentially fatal.

Concerned about recent news of a mystery respiratory illness in dogs? Be aware but don't panic!

Keep an eye on your dog and contact your veterinarian if you're worried. Be sure to let them know the symptoms you're seeing in case they want you to use a separate entrance.

Avoid places where dogs congregate and be sure pets are up-to-date on all vaccines.

SENIOR DOGS DESERVE LOVING HOMES TOO! 🫶 We love the senior dogs we have adopted over the years. They make wonderful companions and are still capable of learning new tricks 😉 If you're looking to adopt a dog, please consider giving a loving home to a senior pup.

Senior pets are often overlooked at the shelter, but adopting a senior pet can change your life in unexpected ways. Check out our blog for everything you need to know when adopting a senior pet. https://ow.ly/q1bt50Q3CEl
