Thanksgiving is around the corner. Please make sure that you do not feed your pet foods they should not have.

Also make sure to have them out of the kitchen when you are prepping all that food so they are not tempted to get something they are not supposed to.

Take the garbage out!!! So many clients will say that their dog got into the garbage and is not feeling well now. They don't really remember what was in that garbage but it was from Thanksgiving.

Learn which Thanksgiving foods are unsafe for pets. Keep your furry friends healthy by avoiding common holiday foods that could harm them.

What a fun afternoon RAH had at Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie.

Beautiful weather, friends, families, and co workers enjoying a fun afternoon. ☀️🍁🧡

The Hudson Valley Medical Society put on this fun event. After walking around we had some ice cream, candy, and played some veterinary trivia.

I think the trivia questions they made extra hard but RAHs one team won and received a beautiful basket full of goodies.

They had a few other raffles as well which pretty much RAH won as well.
The raffle winners were;
Tom our manager
Heather one of our LVTs
A spouse of one of the LVTs

Our RAH team crushed the trivia questions, there were a lot of exotic questions so we have a suspicion that is how Dr Van Demark rocked those answers

Fun time for all including our families 💙
Thank you to the HVMS for a fun afternoon and for Locust Grove for hosting us!

While Halloween can be a ton of fun for trick-or-treating kids, it can be a nightmare for cats and dogs — and for veterinarians. Visits to emergency clinics spike on the holiday, which can be extremely stressful for pet owners, as well as costly. So the key to helping our pets stay safe on Halloween is prevention, AVMA President Dr. Michael Bailey told Forbes.

“We want everyone to enjoy Halloween, and that includes our pets,” he said. “So we have to help them out.”
