As you may have heard, there are several bodies of water in the state of CT that currently have an increased risk of blue-green algae bloom. This algae can be toxic to you and your pets, so swimming should be avoided in these areas. Please be alert and avoid any bodies of water that:

- have scum or films at the surface
- are discolored
- have green globs floating below the surface
- look like spilled oil or paint

If your pet does swim in one of these bodies of water by mistake, IMMEDIATELY bathe them thoroughly afterwards, and monitor them closely for profuse vomiting, diarrhea, low appetite, and abdominal discomfort. If your pet is experiencing any of these symptoms, contact an urgent care or ER right away.

Have a safe and happy summer!

📣LAST CALL FOR ANXIETY MEDS FOR THE 4th OF JULY WEEKEND!📣

Today is the last day you will be able to stock up on your pet's anxiety meds before the festivities and fireworks begin this weekend. Give us a call or text us TODAY if you are needing a refill! We are here until 6pm. (860) 376-2544

Fireworks and thunderstorm season is here! If your pet trembles, hides, whines, drools, or clings to you when there’s loud noises, he or she likely suffers from a condition known as noise aversion. There are several things you can do to help your pet get through these events:

🎇Turn on soothing music to dull the noise or try distracting your dog with games and toys.
🎇If your pet is healthy enough, vigorous exercise or play can sometimes help alleviate stress.
🎇If exercise and distraction aren’t options, there are natural solutions to try including compression clothing like a Thundershirt or calming aromatherapy such as lavender oil.

Should your pet have serious noise aversion and other remedies are not effective, Pachaug Animal Hospital can help with various prescription anti-anxiety medications. July 4th is right around the corner -- give us a call ASAP if you want to get some of these medications to have on hand!

Say hello to one of the sweetest doodles in the world, Daphne! Daphne was here to be spayed yesterday, and she was begging for snuggles and belly rubs the whole time. She was a pleasure to work with! Get well soon, Daphne! ❤️
