Happy Monday everyone! Memorial day is around the corner and Dexter already knows what he's planning to do!
Please be aware we will be CLOSED Saturday, May24th through Monday, May 26th. The office will resume normal hours on Tuesday, May 27th at 9am. If you have a medical emergency with your pet, please visit: VEG Route 3 in Clifton, NJ 201-438-7122.
Please take stock of your pet's medication, including any to help tolerate storms or fireworks. Calling in early THIS WEEK will ensure you are able to pick up your pets' refills before the fun begins. In addition, it is wise to make sure your pets ID tags are legible and/or microchip information is up to date if you've had a recent move or change of phone number. Ensure your pet is properly fitted with their harness or collar if attending ceremonies with fireworks. Memorial day and the 4th of July are common holidays where pets run away from home or slip their restraints due to sudden noises and extreme fear.
Also remember that pets should not have access to certain foods we'll be enjoying this weekend: Corn cobs and bones (can cause an intestinal blockage or a chocking hazard), onions or onion/garlic powder (food toxicity), no fatty/greasy foods (concern for pancreatitis and overall gastrointestinal problems).
With all of this in mind, we hope you plan ahead and have a wonderful, least-stress possible holiday with your family and friends!
