🚨🍰 National Dessert Day – A Sweet Reminder! 🍫🚨

It’s National Dessert Day, and while we’re all for humans enjoying their favorite treats… your pets should definitely sit this one out!

Our emergency team sees cases of accidental toxicities often — especially chocolate, xylitol (found in sugar-free treats), raisins, and other harmful ingredients.

⚠️ Common desserts that are toxic to pets:

Chocolate (especially dark chocolate)

Sugar-free gum/candy (xylitol)

Raisins/grapes (often in cookies/cakes)

Macadamia nuts

Rich, fatty baked goods

🐾 If your pet sneaks a sweet, don’t wait — call us at 559-451-0800 or poison control immediately at 800-213-6680. Quick action can save lives.

Let’s keep this day sweet — and safe — for everyone. ❤️

🐾💙 Mental Health Awareness Month 💙🐾

Emergency veterinary medicine is fast-paced, unpredictable, and emotionally demanding. Every day, emergency vets and support teams face tough decisions, critical cases, and heartbreaking moments with our beloved animals and their families.

But behind the scenes, the mental toll can be overwhelming—stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout are real challenges in this field.

This , we want to remind all emergency veterinary professionals:

✨ Your mental health matters just as much as the care you give.
✨ It’s okay to seek support and take time for self-care.
✨ You’re not alone—our community is here for you.

Thank you for your dedication and compassion in the toughest moments. Let’s break the stigma and support each other in prioritizing mental well-being.

If you’re struggling, reach out to trusted mental health resources—you deserve care, too.

🐶 September is Deaf Dog Awareness Month!
Deaf dogs may not hear your voice, but they can feel your love — and respond to training, signals, and routines just like hearing dogs.

💡 Did you know?
🔸 Deafness in dogs can be congenital (often in white-coated breeds like Dalmatians, Bull Terriers, and Australian Shepherds) or acquired with age or illness.
🔸 Deaf dogs can be trained using hand signals, vibrations, and positive reinforcement.
🔸 They make loyal, loving pets — just like any other dog!

🎗 Let’s raise awareness, reduce stigma, and celebrate these incredible companions.

Thinking about pet insurancebut not sure where to start?
Here are answers to the most common questions we hear. 🐾👇

1) Is pet insurance worth it?
It can be! Pet insurance helps cover unexpected accidents, illnesses, and sometimes routine care —giving you peace of mind when the unexpected
happens.

2) How much does pet insurance cost?
Typically $20–$60/month depending on your pet’s age, breed, and coverage level.
Tip: Start early — younger pets often get lower premiums!

3) What does it usually cover?
Accidents (like broken bones)
Illnesses (like cancer or infections)
Some offer wellness add-ons for vaccines, dental cleanings & more

4) What’s NOT covered?
Pre-existing conditions, cosmetic procedures, and sometimes dental or behavioral issues — always read the fine print!

5) Can I use it at any vet?
Most plans REIMBURSE YOU AFTER THE VET VISIT, so you can go to any licensed veterinarian.

6) ALWAYS RESEARCH AND READ THE FINE PRINT!

Is your pet's curious chewing
putting them at risk? 🐾

A foreign body obstruction is a serious and potentially
life-threatening condition that occurs when a pet
swallows an indigestible object that gets stuck in their
gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Symptoms can range from subtle to severe. If you see
these signs, it's critical to contact a vet immediately:

⚠️Persistent vomiting: Especially if it's frequent or
severe.

⚠️Loss of appetite and lethargy: Your dog may refuse
to eat or seem unusually tired and weak.

⚠️Abdominal pain: Your dog might cry out when their
belly is touched, hunch over, or sit in a "prayer
position" (front legs down, rear end up).

⚠️Changes in bowel movements: This could mean
diarrhea (sometimes bloody), constipation, or straining
to defecate.

Signs of severe distress: Includes a bloated or
distended abdomen, dehydration, or signs of shock.
