🍁Happy Canada Day from all of us at the clinic! 🍁
As we celebrate our beautiful country with family, friends, backyard barbecues, and community events, we'd like to wish all of our wonderful clients—and their furry family members—a safe and happy Canada Day!
While the festivities can be fun for us, they can sometimes be stressful or even dangerous for our pets. Here are a few quick tips to help keep them safe:
🎆 Fireworks can be frightening. Keep pets indoors in a quiet, secure area with familiar bedding, toys, and calming background noise. Make sure collars, microchip information and ID tags are up to date in case an anxious pet tries to escape.
🌭 Watch the picnic and barbecue foods. Many holiday treats—including onions, corn cobs, cooked bones, chocolate, alcohol, and foods containing xylitol—can be harmful to pets.
☀️ Stay cool and hydrated. If you're spending time outdoors, ensure your pet has access to fresh water, shade, and frequent breaks from the heat.
🚗 Never leave pets unattended in vehicles. Even on mild days, temperatures inside a parked car can rise dangerously fast.
🐾 Keep celebrations pet-friendly. Large crowds, loud noises, and unfamiliar environments can be overwhelming for some pets, so consider whether your companion would be happier relaxing at home.
We hope you and your pets enjoy a wonderful day filled with fun, memories, and plenty of tail wags! ❤️🐶🐱
Happy Canada Day! 🍁🐾❤
