Diarrhea in dogs and cats can have many causes — from dietary changes and stress to parasites, infections, toxins, food intolerances, and other medical conditions. While a mild episode may resolve on its own, diarrhea should never be ignored, especially if your pet is very young or older, lethargic, vomiting, not eating, dehydrated, or has blood in the stool. In this video, VERA explains why diarrhea matters, what to watch for, and when to contact your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can help determine the cause and recommend the safest treatment for your pet. Pet health can change quickly. When in doubt, seek veterinary guidance.

Memorial Day Pet Safety Tips

Memorial Day is a time for family, friends, travel, and outdoor fun — but it can also bring extra risks for pets.

Before the celebrations begin, take a few simple steps to help keep your dog or cat safe:

Keep pets away from hot grills, charcoal, lighter fluid, skewers, and unsafe table scraps. Foods like onions, grapes, raisins, chocolate, alcohol, and fatty meats can be dangerous for pets.

Make sure your pet has plenty of fresh water and shade, especially if you are outside. Hot pavement, crowded events, and long hours in the sun can quickly lead to overheating.

Fireworks, loud music, and unfamiliar guests can also be stressful. Create a quiet, secure space indoors where your pet can rest if the celebration becomes overwhelming.

If you are traveling, secure your pet safely in the car, bring familiar supplies, and make sure ID tags and microchip information are up to date.

A little planning can help make Memorial Day safer and less stressful for the pets we love.

From all of us at VERA, have a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

Noise phobia is common in dogs and other pets, especially during thunderstorms, fireworks, construction, parties, and other loud events. In this video, VERA shares practical tips to help pets feel safer and more comfortable when scary sounds happen. Learn how to create a quiet safe space, reduce noise exposure, use calming routines, provide comfort without forcing interaction, and prepare ahead for predictable events like fireworks or storms. For pets with severe anxiety, panic, destructive behavior, or risk of injury, talk with your veterinarian. Some pets benefit from prescription medication or a customized behavior plan to help them cope safely. Noise fear is not “bad behavior” — it is real fear.
