October – Animal Safety & Protection
This month (and every month) is a time to recognize safety measures you should take to protect your pet and ensure they are healthy. Check out the below safety tips:
- Be proactive. Keep all your pets up to date on immunizations.
- Pet-proof your home. Remove or secure choking hazards and toxic chemicals. Make your home pet-friendly and safe.
- Identify your animals. Place tags securely on collars and even label collars with your contact information. If you have more uncommon pets, take pictures in the event they get loose.
- In a disaster, have a plan. Who will be responsible for locating each animal in the house? How will you transport them? If it is a fire, human life takes priority. However, place decals on windows and doors with the number of humans and each kind and number of pets residing in the home. Keep them up to date.
- Learn basic first aid. Caring for your animal at home will prevent a minor injury from becoming severe. Always call your veterinarian if you are unsure.
- Know your animal. If your animal’s behavior changes, watch for signs of illness. Is he injured or spent too much time in the heat? Contact your veterinarian before giving human over-the-counter medications.
Pet insurance helps pet parents make decisions that are in the best interests of their pet’s health versus being constrained by finances. We believe that the best decision for any pet parent to make about their pet’s health is an informed decision. So, to help you make that decision, we wanted to let you know about a free online pet insurance education website called PETINSURANCEINFO.COM.

I love this place so much. They take good care of our animals. They are very honest with things that shouldn't and shouldn't be done to our pets. I have been to other places and they just wanted my money. I would definitely come here!! The staff at the front are also nice 🙂
