WINTER WEATHER ALERT! 🚨
A severe storm and record-breaking cold are headed our way! While you’re stocking up on bread and milk, don’t forget to prep for your furry family members. Extreme cold can be dangerous for pets.

To keep them safe:

🔹Bring them inside: If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them.
🔹Shorten the walks: Limit outdoor time to quick "potty breaks" only.
🔹Have a supply of pet food & meds ready.
🔹Watch the paws: Ice, salt, and de-icing chemicals can irritate or burn paw pads. Wipe them down after every trip outside!
🔹Check the hood: Outdoor cats often seek warmth near car engines. Give your hood a loud "thump" before starting the car.

Stay safe and stay warm, everyone! ❄️

We wish you and your furry family members a healthy, and happy 2026! To kick off the year on the right paw, here is a quick "Healthy Pet Checklist" for the months ahead:

✅ Update Those Tags: Ensure your pet’s ID tags and microchip contact info are current.
✅ Check the Cabinet: Toss out any expired pet medications or supplements.
✅ Schedule a "Paws-itive" Checkup: Is your pet due for their annual wellness exam or dental cleaning?
✅ Fresh Air & Exercise: Commit to one extra walk or playtime session a week!

We value the trust you place in our team to provide the best care for your pets. Happy New Year! Here’s to a wonderful year ahead!

Exposure to winter’s dry, cold air and chilly rain, sleet and snow can cause chapped paws and itchy, flaking skin, but these aren’t the only discomforts pets can suffer. To help prevent cold weather dangers from affecting your pet’s health, please heed this advice from our experts.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at Shore Side Veterinary Care! As we gather for the holiday, we know it's tempting to slip a little something under the table to our furry friends. To keep your pets safe, here is a quick guide to pet-safe Thanksgiving treats:

✅ The "Yes" List (In Moderation):

-Turkey Meat: Plain, white meat is best. No skin, bones, or seasoning!
-Sweet Potato: Plain and mashed (hold the marshmallows and brown sugar).
-Pumpkin: 100% pure pumpkin puree (not pie filling).
-Green Beans & Carrots: Fresh or steamed without butter, oil or salt.

❌ The "No" List (Toxic or Dangerous):

-Turkey Bones: They can splinter and cause serious internal damage.
-Stuffing: Often contains onions and garlic, which are toxic to pets.
-Gravy & Turkey Skin: Too fatty! This can cause pancreatitis.
-Raisins & Grapes: Highly toxic!
-Desserts: Chocolate, xylitol (aka birch sugar), and nutmeg are all dangerous.

We hope you and your pets have a wonderful, safe, and treat-filled holiday! 🧡
