🎄🐾 Holiday Safety Reminder from Eagle River Animal Hospital 🐾🎄

The holidays are a wonderful time for family, friends—and our pets! But all the excitement can bring some hidden dangers for our furry companions. Please keep these common holiday hazards in mind:

🚫 Toxic Foods: Chocolate, xylitol (found in sugar-free treats), grapes/raisins, onions, alcohol, and fatty leftovers can be dangerous—even life-threatening—for pets.

🌿 Holiday Plants: Poinsettias, mistletoe, holly, and lilies can cause illness if chewed or ingested. Keep them out of reach or choose pet-safe décor.

🎁 Wrapping & Decorations: Tinsel, ribbon, string, ornaments, and gift wrap can cause choking or intestinal blockages if swallowed.

🕯️ Candles & Fireplaces: Curious noses and wagging tails can easily knock over candles or get too close to flames. Always supervise and use caution.

🔌 Electrical Cords: Chewing on cords from lights or decorations can cause burns or shocks—secure cords whenever possible.

🎆 Noise & Stress: Guests, loud music, and fireworks can be overwhelming. Provide a quiet, safe space for your pet to relax. Or stop in for your calming supplements, diffusers, Thunder Shirts

If you have any concerns or your pet gets into something they shouldn’t, contact Eagle River Animal Hospital right away. We’re here to help keep your pets safe and healthy this holiday season! ❤️🐶🐱

✨ Wishing you and your pets a safe, happy holiday! ✨

🎉 11 Years of Caring for Pets & People 🎉

This month I’m celebrating 11 years at Eagle River Animal Hospital, and I’m incredibly grateful for the journey. Over the years, this place has grown into more than just a job—it’s become a second home.

Thank you to the amazing team I get to work alongside every day and to the clients who trust us with their pets. Supporting our staff, our doctors, and the families who walk through our doors is something I’m truly proud of.

Here’s to 11 years of growth, teamwork, compassion, and continuing to raise the standard of care for our patients. 💙🐾

❄️ Below-Zero Temperatures & Your Pets ❄️
As temperatures drop well below zero, it’s important to take extra steps to keep your pets safe and healthy during extreme cold weather.

🐾 Cold Weather Safety Tips for Pets:
• Limit time outdoors: Even pets with thick coats can get frostbite or hypothermia. Short, supervised potty breaks are best.
• Protect paws: Ice, snow, and de-icing chemicals can irritate paw pads. Wipe paws after walks and consider pet-safe booties.
• Keep pets indoors: Cats and small dogs should remain inside during extreme cold. Outdoor pets need warm, dry, draft-free shelter with plenty of bedding.
• Watch for signs of cold stress: Shivering, lethargy, whining, lifting paws, or reluctance to move may indicate your pet is too cold.
• Check antifreeze safety: Antifreeze is highly toxic to pets. Clean up spills immediately and store chemicals securely.
• Don’t forget hydration: Pets still need access to fresh, unfrozen water.

❤️ When in doubt, bring them inside—if it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them.

If you have concerns about your pet during extreme cold or notice any unusual behavior, please contact Eagle River Animal Hospital. We’re here to help keep your pets safe all winter long!

Stay warm! 🐶🐱

🌤️ Happy Monday from Eagle River Animal Hospital!
We know Mondays can feel a little slow… but not when they start with a face like this! 🐶💕

This sweet little pup stopped in to brighten our day, and those big curious eyes and soft, floppy ears were all it took to remind us why we love what we do. If your week needs a boost, consider this your dose of pure Monday motivation!

Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead — and if your furry friend needs care, cuddles, or just a check-up, we’re here for you! 🐾💙

Sharing a good read for more information regarding muzzles, as it is not a tool always used just for aggressive pets.
