Sweet Lorenzo hopes everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day and got lots of gifts! He wants to remind you that a gift meant to be a token of affection can actually be potentially dangerous for your pet. Chocolate, if ingested, depending on type and how much is ingested can result in a range of problems from vomiting & diarrhea to heart arythmias, seizures and even death. Remember, the darker and more bitter the chocolate, the more dangerous.
Also, flowers, while both beautiful and fragrant can also pose a serious threat to your pets. Common flowers that are toxic to pets are Carnations, Tulips, Baby's Breath, Lilies and Daffodils. Safer options are Sunflowers, Roses, Marigolds & Orchids.
If your pet does eat something they shouldn't, contact Poison Control and our office right away. Our office number is 718-621-1629 and ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center is 888-426-4435
Enjoy your gifts and keep your pets safe!

Since 1998, St. Francis Animal Hospital has been providing professional veterinary services to the Brooklyn, NY area.

We emailed our clients earlier today about our phone problems. Unfortunately, the phones have not yet been repaired. We can make outgoing calls, but cannot receive incoming calls and the message that you hear is not our usual after hours message. We are trying our best to rectify this situation as fast as we can. In the mean time, you can reach us via email at any time during our regular business hours tomorrow (Tuesday 2/3) from 9am-5pm. Just send us an email and we will get right back to you. We apologize for the inconvenience. It was not easy today trying to notify the clients and trying to respond to emails as soon as they came in, so we hope to have this issue resolved as soon as possible. But in the mean time, rest assured, we are in the office and available to you and your pets. Just reach out and we'll be happy to help!

Indoor cats are just as prone to dental disease, obesity, arthritis, kidney issues, and diabetes as outdoor cats.

Annual wellness exams help catch problems early and keep them healthier for years to come.

When it’s too cold for long walks or outdoor play, your pet can still stay active, engaged, and happy indoors. Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise and it helps prevent stress, weight gain, and destructive behavior during those long winter days.

Try mixing things up this season:
🧩 Puzzle feeders and snuffle mats
🦴 DIY “find it” games with treats
🎾 Mini indoor agility or obstacle courses
🐱 Cat towers, window perches, and rotating toys

A few minutes of creative play each day keeps pets healthy, sharp, and stress-free all winter long.

For more winter wellness tips or to schedule your pet’s seasonal checkup, call 718-621-1629 or visit www.sfahnyc.com
