Pet Aid Assistance

wood stoves & kittens

vafnana | December 29, 2009

If you have a new kitten and have help in heating your home by wood stove, place an xpen, fence or some kind of metal barrier surrounding the woodstove so the kitten can not jump on it. Cats love to be warm and don’t understand until it is too late that the stove that they are jumping on will burn their paws.

Also, emergencies are full of toxicity appointments (chocolate) and bite wounds from visiting family dogs not getting along with others. Please take care.

To everyone that has a pet:

Please don’t “wait it out” if your pet is sick or just not right. There could be underlying causes that can be found by your veterinarian which can lead to helping your pet be healthy again.

Vet clinics or hospitals most likely will be closed again this Friday. If your pet is “just not right”, don’t hesitate to call and make an appt.

Give gifts from your heart, they don’t need to be expensive to have meaning.

Christmas tree water warning

vafnana | December 9, 2009

When filling the stand with your Christmas tree water, pet owners should be aware of the dangers of Christmas tree water. The experts recommend the following:

No matter how much they love it, your pet should never be allowed to drink the Christmas tree water. The sap leaks from the tree into the Christmas tree water and can make them very sick. In addition, the preservatives that some people add to their Christmas tree water can cause illness in pets of all kinds.

  • Lemon scented air freshener sprayed around the base of the tree will discourage most animals from getting close enough to drink the Christmas tree water.
  • If you can’t discourage your pet from getting under the tree, an e-collar is a great way to protect them from the Christmas tree water. Don’t put the collar on your pet — snap it around the base of your tree and they won’t be able to access the water underneath. This makes refreshing the water a little more time-consuming, but ensuring the health of your pet is worth it.

please don’t wait,

To everyone that has a pet:

Please don’t wait if your pet is acting sick or “just not right”. There could be underlying causes found by your veterinarian that could lead to having your pet be healthy for the holidays and the next new year!

Have a Happy December!

When your hands are dry and you need an on-the-spot scrub, wash your hands with a teaspoon of sugar, rinse and moisturize and voila!
