🧡🐱 Happy National Ginger Cat Day! 🐱🧡

Hi everyone! It’s me, Cheddar….Lambs Gap’s resident ginger kitty! 🐾

Today is National Ginger Cat Day, so naturally, I had to remind everyone that being orange comes with some very important responsibilities—supervising the staff, soaking up attention, and making sure everyone gets their daily dose of kitty cuddles. 😻🧡

I think my most important job is making everyone smile! ❤️

Wishing all my fellow ginger cats a purr-fect day filled with treats, naps, belly rubs, and plenty of love! 🐾🧡

**Happy National Ginger Cat Day!** 🍊🐈

Love,
Cheddar 🧡

Today, our doctors and staff had the honor of caring for K9 Marc for the final time. It was truly an honor and a privilege to care for such a courageous and devoted K9 during his time with the Mechanicsburg Police Department and afterwards during his retirement. We are grateful to have been entrusted with his care and to have been a part of his life. Marc was such a remarkable dog who gave so much of himself in service to his handler and family, his department, and his community. He has left a lasting impact on all those fortunate enough to know him.

We extend our deepest sympathy to Marc's handler, Officer Shutt, and the rest of Marc's family.

Rest easy, Marc. Thank you for your service. You will never be forgotten. 🐾💙🇱🇷

Smoke from the Canadian wildfires has moved into Pennsylvania, and today's poor air quality can be dangerous for our pets. If you're feeling the impact of wildfire smoke, chances are your pets feel it, too.

The tiny particles in wildfire smoke (PM2.5) can irritate your pet's eyes and lungs and may even worsen heart and respiratory conditions. Puppies/kittens, senior dogs/cats, flat-faced dog breeds like Pugs/Bulldogs/Boston Terriers, and pets with preexisting heart or lung issues are especially at risk.

🐶 Protect your best friend today:
✅ Keep outdoor time to a minimum—just quick potty breaks.
✅ Skip walks, hikes, and outdoor play until air quality improves.
✅ Keep windows and doors closed and run your air conditioner if possible.
✅ Use a HEPA air purifier if you have one.
✅ After going outside, wipe your dog's paws and coat with a damp cloth to remove ash and smoke particles.

⚠️ Watch for warning signs:
• Persistent coughing, gagging, or wheezing
• Rapid, difficult, or noisy breathing
• Red, watery, or squinting eyes
• Lethargy, weakness, or unusual stumbling
If your dog develops any of these symptoms, contact your veterinarian as soon as possible.

A little extra caution today can help keep your four-legged family members safe until the skies clear. ❤️🐕
