In our second installment of the series on toxic holiday ingredients for pets, we’re highlighting xylitol. This common sweetener, found in many sugar-free products, is incredibly harmful to dogs. Even small amounts can cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar and lead to serious health issues. Keep an eye out for gum, candies, and baked goods that may contain this ingredient. Always check labels and keep your furry friends safe during the festive season!

As we count down to the holidays, it's essential to ensure our furry friends stay safe amidst the festivities. First up on our series of toxic ingredients for pets: chocolate! While it’s a delicious treat for us, chocolate contains substances like theobromine and caffeine that can be harmful to dogs and cats. Even small amounts can lead to serious health issues, so keep those holiday goodies out of reach. Share this post to inform other pet parents out there!

Does your dog shower you with endless licks? Doggy kisses are your dog’s way of showing affection, asking for attention, or even saying “I missed you.” In some cases, it’s a learned behavior because if you smile or pet them when they lick, they know it gets your attention. Excessive licking can also be a sign of anxiety, discomfort, or underlying health issues. If your dog licks nonstop, let’s talk! Call us at (609) 921-1557.

Easiest way to prevent hairballs is simply to brush your cat regularly, especially for long-haired breeds. When you brush out the loose fur, you remove the stuff they’d otherwise swallow during grooming. Less fur ingested = fewer hairballs = a happier cat! Long-haired cats may need daily brushing while short-haired kitties benefit from a few times a week. Want expert tips? Contact us today at (609) 921-1557
