yep.... pass this along

If you must feed rice, choose brown. Here’s why. ⬇️

Rice is safe (non-toxic) for pets, but it’s a starchy food that adds excess carbohydrates dogs and cats don’t biologically need. 👎

Still, if rice needs to be part of your pet’s diet, whether for medical or financial reasons, brown is the better pick. 🍚

White rice is milled and polished in a way that strips away most of its nutrients, while brown rice is less processed and more nutritious. 👍

Just remember, brown rice is still starchy, so keep servings small. 🥣

Sooo Sad,,,,,, sooo True to manyi have always had at least one black cat... right now .. i have Kat- with- a- K :)

🐈‍⬛ For centuries, black cats have carried a reputation they never asked for.

Superstitions linking black cats with bad luck and witchcraft have been passed down for generations, becoming especially visible around Halloween.

But behind all that folklore is simply a cat.

A cat that purrs. A cat that plays. A cat that curls up somewhere warm. A cat that can love and trust its family just like any other.

There is nothing unlucky about black fur, and there is nothing frightening about the animal underneath it.

This Halloween, let the superstition belong to the past.

Black cats have carried our stories for long enough. They deserve our love instead.🖤🎃

i did not think of this.. good to know..

🎃 When Halloween is over, it can feel like a kind gesture to leave an old pumpkin in the woods for wildlife to enjoy.

But our leftovers don't always belong in their home.

Large amounts of pumpkin can upset the stomachs of animals such as hedgehogs, potentially leading to dehydration at a time of year when they need to be preparing for winter. Dumped pumpkins can also attract rats and interfere with the delicate balance of the woodland floor.

What looks like a free meal to us may not be the helping hand we imagine it to be.

There are much better ways to give your Halloween pumpkin a second life. Compost it at home, use what you can, or dispose of it responsibly rather than carrying it into the woods.

Most people who leave pumpkins behind probably mean well. That's what makes this message worth sharing.

Sometimes protecting wildlife simply means leaving their home exactly as we found it.

A kind gesture can have consequences. Compost your pumpkin. Don't dump it.

KNOW WHERE YOUR CANDY IS AT ALLLLL TIMES!!!!! thanks..

🎃 Halloween can get chaotic quickly. The doorbell keeps ringing, trick or treat bags get emptied, and candy somehow ends up everywhere.

For a curious pet, that can be all it takes.

Chocolate can be toxic to dogs and cats, and xylitol, a sweetener found in some sugar free products, can be especially dangerous to dogs. Even wrappers can cause problems if swallowed.

Our pets don't know which treats can hurt them. They just know something smells interesting and has been left within reach.

This Halloween, keep candy bowls, bags and dropped treats somewhere your pets cannot get to them.

A few seconds of prevention could save you and your pet from a frightening trip to the emergency vet. 🐾

can you help out here.. they are in need of hand towels 16x25 thanks :)

Can you give us a hand (towel)? 🐾

We’re running low on an everyday item that plays an important role in keeping our patients safe and comfortable: hand towels!

The perfect size for cats, hand towels help keep our furry patients warm and cozy while they are with us.

Have a few gently used hand towels to spare? Willing to pick up a couple of new hand towels the next time you’re at the store? We’d love your help restocking our supply!

The standard size (about 16 x 25 inches) and any color will do. All we ask is, no holes please.

It may seem like a minor way to help, but these small towels make a huge difference for MN SNAP’s quality care of beloved cats. Thank you!
