As we remember and commemorate our fallen soldiers, we want to wish everyone a safe and happy Memorial Day. 🕊️

Please note that A&E Animal Hospital is closed today, Monday, May 25th, in observance of the holiday. We will reopen tomorrow, Tuesday, May 26th at 7:30 AM. 🗓️🐾

If you are celebrating with a backyard barbecue today, please keep a close eye on your furry family members! Many holiday favorites can be dangerous for pets. 🌭🍔

🚫 Backyard BBQ Hazards to Avoid:
Bones & Meat Scraps: Cooked bones can splinter and cause internal blockages or tears. Fatty scraps can trigger painful pancreatitis.

Onions, Garlic, & Chives: Highly toxic to both dogs and cats. Watch out for these in salads, burger toppings, and marinades.

Grapes & Raisins: Can cause sudden kidney failure in dogs. Keep fruit plates out of reach!

Chocolate, Xylitol, & Alcohol: Desserts and sugar-free treats containing xylitol (an artificial sweetener) are highly dangerous.

🚨 In Case of an Emergency:
If your pet requires urgent medical attention while we are closed, please contact the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital Emergency Service in Urbana immediately. They are open 24/7.

📞 Small Animal Emergency Room: (217) 333-5300

📍 1008 W. Hazelwood Drive, Urbana, IL

Have a beautiful, safe day, and we look forward to seeing you and your pets bright and early tomorrow morning! 🐶🐱❤️

Summer is almost here! Is your pet protected? ☀️🐾

The warmer weather means a massive surge in FLEAS, TICKS, & MOSQUITOES (which carry heartworm!). Don’t let your pet be an easy target. 🦟🚫

Take a look at our summer tips as a guide to keep your fur baby protected this season! From the importance of annual heartworm testing to staying ahead of the “parasite explosion,” we’ve got you covered.✨

Did you know that even indoor pets are at risk? Skipping just one month of prevention can leave a dangerous gap in their defense.
Check out the flyer below for more details, and give us a call/text to restock your preventatives or schedule your pet’s annual heartworm test! 🩸📞

With the Illinois Marathon taking place this past weekend, we couldn’t resist celebrating one of our very own patients who continues to make headlines… 🐕🏃‍♂️

Meet Chex — a true local legend and proud patient of A & E Animal Hospital!

During the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon, Chex decided he didn’t want to just watch the runners… he wanted to be one! After breaking free from home last year, he joined the marathon course, ran alongside participants, and even crossed the finish line at Memorial Stadium.

And believe it or not… he did it again this year!!! 😄

His owners, Ed & Laura Weiskamp, let us know that Chex’s chain broke at the race, and before anyone knew it, he was off running with the crowd and completed the race once more. Talk about dedication!

Chex has officially earned his title as the most unforgettable “runner” the race has ever seen — and honestly, we think he deserves a medal every year 🥇

We are so proud to care for such an incredible, spirited patient. Way to go, Chex! 💙
