Friday's Frequently Asked Question: What foods are safe for snacking?

Vegetables: Carrots, celery, broccoli, green beans, cauliflower, and cooked pumpkin are healthy options for a snack.

Fruits: NO GRAPES or RAISINS!!! However, apples, bananas, blueberries, strawberries and cantaloupe cut into small pieces are excellent treats. Make sure to remove any cores or stems.

Popcorn: Air-popped popcorn is a healthy snack as long as it does not have excessive amounts of fat or salt.

Peanut Butter: Most pets love peanut butter. It can be used as an ingredient in homemade pet treats or to deliver medications. It should be given in small doses since it can be high in fat content. Also, make sure your peanut butter does not contain XYLITOL, which is toxic.

Cheese: Cheese is a great pill disguise as long as it is just a small cube. Give it sparingly.

Meats: Small amounts of lean cooked poultry, beef, fish, or pork that are free of bones and seasoning are ok to give now and then. Avoid processed meats such as bacon or deli meat.

Meet our staff pets! Johnny is a four year old Pit Bull terrier and Camryn's shadow. She rescued him from a hoarding situation when he was just 5 weeks old. His favorite things are chasing tennis balls, guarding the castle from his couch, and cozy blankets. And he loves to visit Grandma's house. He has grown from a scared puppy to a momma's boy and brings immense joy and endless love to Camryn's life. 💕

September is Disaster Preparedness Month. It's a good time to refresh or create a plan for your pets if we experience another natural disaster.

1. Have a plan! - If you have to evacuate, know where pet-friendly hotels or shelters are located. If staying home, keep pets safely indoors.

2. Identification - Microchips are the most reliable source of pet identification. Make sure your most current information is updated. You may also want to have a collar with identification tags as well.

3. Emergency Kits - If you are expecting a possible disaster, have a kit prepared for your pet. Make sure to include 3 - 5 days worth of food, water, collapsible bowls, medications, comforting toys or blankets, and sanitary needs (p**p bags or litter boxes).

4. Records - Get a copy of your pet's current vaccines and any other pertinent medical records.

5. Travel Gear - Have the carrier, leash, or collar ready. Keep a favorite blanket or bed that smells like home nearby as well.

We hope that you never have to use these, but it's always good to be prepared.

Friday FAQ: If a dog is on heartworm prevention, why do we need to do annual heartworm testing?

Answer: An annual heartworm test is necessary for a few reasons, but mainly, because no medication is 100% effective. An annual test ensures that the medication is doing what it should be doing and keeping your pet safe from heartworms. The other factors are that some dogs are difficult to administer medications to and will spit out or vomit part of the dose. And, as busy human beings, we are often late with giving doses or forget a month here and there. If, on the rare occasion, your dog happens to contract heartworms, early detection and treatment helps prevent permanent damage to the heart and lungs. So, don't skip those annual heartworm tests.

Can you believe it's almost fall???

Here are some tips to keep your pets safe during the changing of the seasons:

* Corn Cobs - Decorative corn is often used in fall displays but can sometimes attract curious pets to chew and eat them. Corn cobs can become dangerous obstructions when ingested by pets.

* Wild Mushrooms - Fall is mushroom season, and while most of them cause little to no problems, some mushrooms are highly toxic. Monitor your pets while outdoors to make sure they are not nibbling on any potential toxic mushrooms.

* Snakes and Wildlife - As some of our wild friends prepare for the winter, they become much more active in the fall. Be aware when your pet is outdoors that they steer clear of brush piles or other places snakes like to hide, as well as any other critters.

* Rodenticides - The fall season brings out the busy rodents which can also bring an increase of rat and mouse baits. These can be very dangerous if ingested by cats and dogs.

* Mothballs - Mothballs contain chemicals that are toxic to pets. Instead, try using natural moth repellents such as cedar chips, lavender, or cloves.

If your pet loves a midday snack and you are trying to maintain their diet, here are some healthy options to satisfy their cravings:

* Carrots - Low-calorie and crunchy
* Green Beans - Steamed, fresh, or sodium-free canned beans can also offer a crunch and some extra fiber.
* Pumpkin - Add a little plain, pureed pumpkin to aid in digestion
* Apples - In moderation, apple slices provide vitamins and satisfy a sweet tooth
* Freeze-Dried Meats - Options such as chicken breast or fish are good lean-protein options.
* Eggs - Fully cooked, unseasoned, and in small portions, eggs can boost amino acids and protein.

**Remember to avoid garlic, onions, grapes, and raisins as they are toxic to pets**
