πΎ A Gentle but Important Reminder From Someone Who Works in Veterinary Medicine β€οΈ
Lately, we've seen several pets come through the veterinary clinic after being hit by vehicles, and it's been weighing heavily on my heart.
So today, I just want to share this reminder:
Please leash your pets. Even the ones who "never run off."
It only takes a few seconds.
A squirrel.
A loud noise.
Another dog across the street.
Something interesting to chase.
One open gate or unexpected moment.
Even the most obedient dog can react instinctively before we have time to stop them.
π Use a secure leash whenever you're near roads or away from a safely fenced area.
π‘ Check gates and fencing regularly for weak spots or openings.
π·οΈ Keep identification tags and microchip information current.
π Never assume a pet understands the danger of an approaching vehicle.
And please rememberβa leash isn't a punishment or a lack of trust. It's a safety net.
I would much rather see your pet happily walking beside you on a leash than see your family facing an emergency that might have been prevented. β€οΈβπ©Ή
Please hug your babies a little tighter tonight, and keep them safe.
