Halloween is over, but your pet’s safety checklist isn’t! 🎃🐾

Take a few minutes today to check for:
🐾 Loose strings or missing costume pieces
🕸️ Broken decorations and small objects
🗑️ Accessible trash, leftover food, and packaging
🐶 Changes in your pet’s appetite, energy, or behavior

Keep an eye out for signs something isn’t right. Vomiting, diarrhea, unusual tiredness, or changes in behavior could signal a problem.

If you suspect your pet swallowed something dangerous, contact your veterinarian promptly. Don’t wait for symptoms to appear!

🍬🎃 Halloween candy might be a treat for you, but it can be dangerous for your pets!

Chocolate, sugar-free candy containing xylitol, raisins, and even candy wrappers can pose serious risks to dogs and cats. With Halloween treats everywhere, a little extra caution can go a long way in keeping your pets safe.

🐾 Keep candy bowls and trick-or-treat bags out of reach. If your pet gets into Halloween candy, contact your veterinarian immediately. Don't wait for symptoms to appear, and never induce vomiting unless instructed by a veterinary professional.

📌 Save this post as a reminder, and share it with a fellow pet parent!

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Halloween from Ahwatukee Animal Care Hospital! 🧡

What makes a great veterinary technician? 🐾

It’s more than medical knowledge. It’s compassion for the patients who can’t tell us what’s wrong, patience with the ones who are scared, critical thinking when things get complicated, and teamwork that keeps everything moving.

From monitoring patients and assisting with surgery to performing dental cleanings and advocating for pets who need us, veterinary technicians play an important role in every step of patient care.

This Vet Tech Week, we’re celebrating the skills, dedication, and heart that go into caring for your pets every day. 💙

To our vet techs: we’re grateful for you!

Ever wonder how much your vet tech does during your pet’s visit? From running diagnostic tests and performing dental cleanings to monitoring anesthesia and comforting nervous patients, veterinary technicians play an important role in your pet’s health and well-being.

So much of their work happens behind the scenes, but every task makes a difference. Their knowledge, compassion, and dedication help keep our patients safe, comfortable, and cared for.

This week, we’re celebrating our incredible vet tech team and all the ways they make a difference for our patients and their families. ❤️

Show our vet techs some love in the comments! What’s something you appreciate about the people who care for your pets?

🐱 Cats spend a LOT of time sleeping, but how do you know when it’s more than just a nap?

Most cats sleep around 12–16 hours a day, and kittens and senior cats may need even more rest. What matters is how your cat acts when they’re awake!

If you notice changes in their energy, appetite, behavior, or daily routine, don’t automatically assume they’re just extra sleepy. These changes can sometimes signal an underlying health concern.

You know your cat best. If something seems off, reach out to your veterinarian.

Save this post for a quick reminder, and share it with a fellow cat parent! 🐾

🐱 October 16 is National Feral Cat Day!

Community cats are part of our neighborhoods, and understanding their needs is an important step toward helping them thrive.

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) helps humanely manage community cat populations by preventing future litters and providing opportunities for vaccinations and other care.

Whether you support local TNR programs, provide fresh water, or help connect a cat with the right resources, small actions can make a difference.

🎃 Halloween can be fun for us, but all the costumes, doorbells, unfamiliar faces, and extra noise can be overwhelming for our pets.

Help your pet feel safe this Halloween by providing a quiet space away from the festivities, keeping them safely indoors, and making sure they can’t slip out through an open door while trick-or-treaters come and go.

🐾 Watch for signs of stress, such as hiding, pacing, panting, trembling, or excessive barking. If your pet seems overwhelmed, give them space and let them relax away from the excitement.

Make their comfort part of your Halloween plans! 🧡
