The holiday season is the perfect time to review safe treats for your pets. Remember, foods like grapes, onions, garlic, and chocolate are toxic and can be deadly. We also see more cases of pancreatitis in dogs this time of year. Even treats that seem safe can upset their stomach and lead to unexpected vet visits. Keep your furry friends healthy and safe.🐾🎁

Older pets need new care routines to match their changing needs. From joint support to diet adjustments, these small changes can significantly improve their quality of life. Regular vet visits help us catch health concerns early, ensuring your pet stays as comfortable and active as possible. Schedule a wellness exam today!
