Our lives are filled with toxic things!! Here is one way to clean it up and make it safer for us and our furry family members!!😍

🚨PSA🚨

Local temperatures are supposed to drop into the single digits with the windchill of well below zero. PLEASE bring your pets inside. Hypothermia is real and we see it every year. At the very least please make sure all outside pets/livestock have insulated housing with a wind proof entrance , bedding (not blankets as they freeze with moisture) and fresh water often.
🔥We would love to see pictures of your pets all snuggled up and warm🐾

We certainly are having some typical crazy mid-west weather!! ☔️❄️☀️🌫️💨Be sure you are keeping up on your own vitamins/sleep/good nutrition to stay healthy 🦸‍♀️🦸. There is a lot of sickness going around right now 🤧. Remember to stay away from others if you aren't feeling well. These temperature rollercoasters can be hard on our outdoor animals; be sure to keep a close eye on them- that they are drinking plenty of water, passing manure, eating well, etc.
It hardly feels like Christmas is this week!! Our office will be closing early Christmas Eve and closed through the rest of the week to enjoy time with family. ⭐️The following week we will also be closed the afternoon of New Year's Eve and through that week to work on year end tasks. We wish you a very Happy and Healthy Holiday Season and be safe if you are traveling!!🥳☺️🤩

On this , it is our wish that our wild carnivores be able to eat unpoisoned food. That they be able to help control the rodent population without falling victim to all the poisons we put in them. It seems like a very basic thing to ask for…

Baby it is cold out there!! 😶‍🌫️🥶😶‍🌫️With this cold snap upon us be sure your outdoor animals are safe, have shelter, and plenty of non-frozen water and food!! Check your heat lamps make sure the dust is all off and not near straw or other flammable substances🔥Be sure your water heaters are working properly and not shorting out⚡️
Bring any of your outdoor animals inside or in the garage if possible during this cold snap. And be careful yourself, bundle up and don't have exposed skin - frostbite is a true story!! How many days until spring?? 😜🌷🌷🪻🌞

I looked through this post and couldn't find the list but I would be interested in seeing the list. Scary stuff what they are allowed to put in "pet food"!

The 2026 List includes 45 brands, we verified: human grade ingredients, organic ingredients (if applicable), and meats sourced from certified humanely raised animals (if applicable). For each brand we also provide ingredient country of origin, manufacturing facility licensing (human food standards or pet food), manufacturing safety protocols, available food styles and where each brand is available.
As always - no company pays a fee to be considered or included. TruthaboutPetFood.com or Susan Thixton receives no compensation, of any kind, from any pet food company.

Thanksgiving is coming up right around the corner!!! 🤩🦃🍁Now is the time to make sure you have your pet's vaccine records printed and ready to go for travel or boarding. Be sure to keep the turkey bones away from the cats and dogs and no greasy or fried food for your pets- it will upset their stomach🤢 They can have some of the plain meats and veggies but stay away from the fried and fatty foods for them😉
Our office will be closed Wednesday November 26th until Monday December 1st- so plan accordingly🙂

Happy Halloween!!👻🎃Be careful with your costumes and candy around your pets. Also be sure they are in a safe location for trick o treating - so they don't dash out the door either in excitement or fear!! Let's all be safe and have a good time out there!🤩🍁

Well the calendar says it is fall but the 80 degree temps hardly feels like it! 🌞But we have had some lovely cooler evening temps and beautiful days! With the cooler temps comes an awakening of fleas and ticks... the fall crop of ticks will be coming and the fleas are on the hunt of a place to live for the winter🙀Don't let that be your pet and your house!! Be vigilant on whatever effective flea/tick prevention you use. Those of you with animals with fall allergies; start using your immune boosters and supplements now before the flare is at full rage!!
Take some time to enjoy the lovely days and evenings with your animals!!☺️🐱🫏🐶🐴🍁

We pause to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Jane Goodall, whose wisdom, compassion, and tireless work for animals and the planet continue to inspire us all. Her voice will echo in every act of conservation we carry forward. 🌍💚🐺

"When gray wolf delisting was proposed in 2013, 1.5 million people spoke out against it. And go to Yellowstone … there are people lined up to watch the wolves … to watch the dens … to watch the parental behavior.
So please speak out again. Let’s have more than 1.5 million people speaking out for the wolves. They can’t speak for themselves, but how tragic if one could no longer hear the beautiful sound of their howling back and forth at night under the moon. So, please help."
-Jane Goodall
