🐾 𝟱 𝗣𝗲𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗥! October is National Pet Wellness Month, and while we’re here when emergencies strike after hours, on weekends, and holidays, our goal is always to keep your pets out of the ER when possible. Preventive care and smart habits at home can go a long way.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝟱 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁:
𝟭. 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗘𝗮𝘁 🥓🍫
Fatty table scraps, toxic foods like chocolate or grapes, or even pantry raids can trigger pancreatitis, GI blockages, or poisoning. When in doubt, skip the human food.
𝟮. 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗳𝗳 🧼🧪
Keep cleaning products, medications (even pet meds), plants like lilies, and small chewable objects out of reach—especially with curious puppies or cats.
𝟯. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗨𝗽-𝘁𝗼-𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗩𝗲𝘁 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘀 📋
Routine exams and bloodwork help catch health issues before they escalate into emergencies.
𝟰. 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 🚨
Lethargy, hiding, vomiting, limping, bloated bellies, or heavy panting can be early signs of trouble. Catching symptoms early can be lifesaving.
