๐บ๐ธ๐พ Friendly Memorial Day Reminder from Your Veterinary Team! ๐พ๐บ๐ธ
Memorial Day weekend is almost here, and while we may love the celebrations, our pets donโt always feel the same about the noise and excitement โ especially fireworks! ๐
If your pet struggles with anxiety during fireworks, loud noises, or holiday festivities, now is the time to call and request anxiety medication refills or discuss options with our team. Donโt wait until the fireworks start! ๐
While youโre enjoying the holiday, here are a few Memorial Day pet safety reminders to keep in mind:
๐ฅ Fireworks: Loud noises can trigger fear, panic, and escape attempts โ make sure pets are indoors, secure, and wearing ID tags.
๐ญ BBQ Foods: Hot dogs, ribs, greasy foods, onions, corn cobs, bones, and desserts can all be dangerous for pets (even if they give you the look ๐).
๐บ Alcohol & Drinks: Keep alcoholic beverages and cups out of pawโs reach.
โ๏ธ Heat Safety: Memorial Day often means sunshine! Make sure pets have shade, fresh water, and never leave them in a parked car.
๐ฆ Bug Spray / Citronella / Glow Items: Some holiday products can be toxic if chewed or ingested.
๐ Pool Safety: Not every dog is a natural swimmer โ supervise pets around water.
And nowโฆ for the most important partโฆ please enjoy these adorable patriotic pups and handsomest clinic cat of all time, Dodge, showing off their firework fashion in todayโs photo lineup ๐๐ถโค๏ธ๐ค๐ Because nothing says holiday safety quite like a dog in a festive bandana pretending theyโre ready for the BBQ. ๐
Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend from all of us at the clinic! ๐บ๐ธ๐พ
