IT'S TICK SEASON: With our warmer temperatures recently, our clients are already reporting finding ticks on their pets. Ticks do not generally die in the winter, they just become dormant when the temperature gets cold enough (the exact temperature for this to occur depends on the species of tick--and other factors--and there are several tick species in Iowa). Certainly many species of ticks will be active when the temperature is 40-45 degrees or warmer, and some may be active at temperatures below 40 degrees F. When the temperature warms up, even in January or February, the ticks can come out of dormancy and are ready to feed.
Don't forget tick protection for any pet that goes outside, as ticks can spread diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, and others.

If you need tick preventative for your pets, you can call us to make sure we have what they need, or you can order through our online store any time.

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE 12/23-12/27:
We have a bit of a shortened schedule this week due to Christmas, so we wanted to make you aware of our availability. Tuesday is our only normal day for appointments, otherwise we will be here for anyone who needs to drop-off or pick-up pets for boarding, or for food and med pick-up on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday morning.

If you have any appointment needs, or would like to make arrangements to have medications/food ready for pick-up, please call us to make sure we can get everything set up for you.

To all who celebrate: Have a great Christmas!

FOODS TO AVOID: While it's nice to include your pets in your family gatherings and holiday feasts these next few weeks, not all foods are pet safe. In fact, according to google trends data for the past 5 years, internet searches for "ER vet" peak during the last two weeks of December, partially due to pets ingesting foods that are dangerous for them.

Here is a list of common holiday foods that are toxic, and you can find out more items to avoid to keep your pets healthy this season at the link below: https://vetsoftherockies.com/dogs/holiday-hazards-for-pets/

1. Chocolate: The caffeine in chocolate can lead to gastrointestinal upset, agitation, tremors, and even seizures at high doses

2. Macadamia nuts: even small amounts of these can lead to weakness, tremors, vomiting, and potentially seizures or paralysis

3. Fatty foods: Bacon, ham, and cheese can cause GI problems and can lead to pancreatitis

4. Grapes & raisins: even in small amounts these can lead to kidney damage or acute kidney failure, and requires prompt medical attention.

If you ever have concerns about your pet ingesting food they shouldn't have, don't hesitate to call our number at 515-382-2400, or for busy times or outside of business hours, Iowa State Small Animal clinic is available at 515-294-4900.

These common foods and decorations can be holiday hazards for pets. Keep them out of reach to prevent possible emergencies.
