A Blue Christmas

Christmas is a fun and hectic time of year for many families. It is a time for planning trips and events and presents and food. In all the hustle and bustle it is easy to overlook the needs of our family companions. Do the dogs need to go to a kennel while the family is away? Plan early and check to make sure your dog has its kennel cough vaccination. We can provide a certificate showing that they are up to date and ready for their stay. Make sure prescription medications and diets are filled so you do not run out at a critical time. Also, take precautions during holiday parties so that pets do not get access to too much rich food or treats such as dark chocolate which can lead to illness. Ribbons and other decorating items can be attractive to pets so keep them out of reach to prevent ingestion by a feline companion. Nothing dampens the holiday spirit more than an emergency trip to the vet with a beloved pet, but if the worst happens we are here for you. Wishing you all a happy holiday and a healthy and enjoyable Christmas.
