⛈️ Thunderstorms are headed our way, and while we may enjoy the rain, storms can be very scary and dangerous for our pets. Here are a few ways to help keep your furry family members safe during severe weather:

🐾 Keep pets indoors and secure before the storm starts
🐾 Make sure collars and ID tags are up to date in case they become frightened and escape
🐾 Create a quiet, comfortable space away from windows and loud noises
🐾 Close curtains or turn on calming music/TV to help drown out thunder sounds
🐾 Never leave pets tied outside during storms
🐾 Have medications or calming aids ready if your pet struggles with storm anxiety
🐾 Keep emergency supplies handy, including food, water, medications, and leashes/carriers

Remember, pets can panic quickly during thunder and lightning. A little preparation can make a huge difference in keeping them calm and safe.

If your pet experiences severe anxiety, injury, or an emergency during the storm, please give us a call. Stay safe out there, Yakima!

At Companion Animal Clinic, we believe pets deserve access to quality veterinary care, even when life throws unexpected financial challenges your way.

Since introducing Cherry Payment Plans in April 2026, our community has utilized over $48,000 in approved care through Cherry. That means thousands of dollars in surgeries, dental procedures, diagnostics, emergency visits, and preventative care that may not have been possible otherwise.

We understand veterinary care can feel overwhelming financially, especially in today’s economy. Emergencies rarely happen at a “good time,” and delaying care can often make things worse for both pets and families. That’s why we’re proud to offer flexible financing options that help make care more manageable and accessible.

Cherry has helped so many local pet owners say “yes” to the care their pets needed, with an easy application process, flexible payment options, and fast approvals.

If your pet needs care and finances are a concern, please know you have options. We are here to help.

Because every pet deserves the chance to feel better.

Some stories remind us exactly why we do what we do. ❤️
Recently, sweet young Canelo came to our clinic very sick with vomiting and diarrhea. His family had also just experienced a medical emergency of their own, and they called us honestly and openly about their financial situation while trying to get help for their boy.

We know veterinary care can feel overwhelming, especially during difficult times, which is why we always want our clients to know there are options. We discussed payment solutions including CareCredit, Cherry Payments, and Scratch Pay. Thankfully, Canelo’s mom was approved for CareCredit and Cherry Payments, and after his initial parvo test came back negative, we were able to begin the journey toward getting him healthy again.

With limited funds, careful diagnostics, supportive care, donated funds from compassionate supporters, and flexible payment options, Canelo spent the next couple of days hospitalized with our team. Slowly but surely, he started feeling like himself again.
The best part? Watching him go home with his tail wagging happily all the way out the door. 🐾

If you are ever experiencing financial hardship but your pet needs medical care, please know that we are always willing to do what we can to help make things happen. Veterinary medicine is expensive, but there are often resources and payment options available that can help bridge the gap.

Thank you to our amazing clients for trusting us with your fur babies and thank you to everyone who helps support stories like Canelo’s. ❤️
