🕷️ Tick Check Friday! 🕷️

Tick season is in full swing across Northwest Iowa, and many pets can pick up unwanted hitchhikers after just a short time outside.

Be sure to check:
✔️ Around the ears
✔️ Under collars
✔️ Between the toes
✔️ Around the tail
✔️ Under the front legs

Remember, ticks can spread diseases to both pets and people, so prevention is always easier than treatment.

Have questions about flea and tick prevention? Give us a call—we're happy to help! 🐾

🇺🇸🎆 Can you believe the Fourth of July is only one month away? 🎆🇺🇸

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, now is the perfect time to start thinking about our pets. 🐶🐱

While we enjoy fireworks 🎇, parades 🇺🇸, family gatherings 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, and backyard celebrations 🍔🌭, many dogs and cats find the noise, crowds, and commotion stressful.

The good news is that you don't have to wait until the last minute! ⏰ Family Animal Care offers several options to help keep your pets calm, comfortable, and safe during holiday festivities. ❤️🐾

If your pet has struggled with fireworks or anxiety in the past, give us a call today 📞 at 712-707-2273. We'd be happy to discuss the best plan for your furry family member before the holiday rush begins. 🐕🐈

🎆 Don't wait until the fireworks start flying! 🎆

🐾❤️ Caring for your pets like family. ❤️🐾

School’s almost out for summer, and that means more time outside for both kids and pets! ☀️🐾

As summer activities pick up, it’s a great time to remember a few important pet safety tips:

🌡️ Never leave pets in parked vehicles — even for a few minutes
💧 Make sure fresh water and shade are always available outside
🔥 Be careful around grills, campfires, and fireworks
🐶 Watch for hot pavement on paws during walks
🦟 Keep pets up to date on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention
🏊 Supervise pets around pools, lakes, and rivers
🪪 Double check collars, tags, and microchip information before vacations and summer trips

Summer is one of the best times of the year to make memories with our pets — let’s help keep them safe and healthy while we do it! ❤️

What’s your pet’s favorite summer activity? Share a picture in the comments! 📸

We survived the parade… even with kids, dogs, and snakes involved. 😄🌷🐍🐾

Tulips, teamwork, and a whole lot of community spirit made for a pretty great night at the Tulip Festival parade! The Family Animal Care team had an awesome time seeing so many smiling and familiar faces along the route.

Thanks to everyone who waved, cheered, and came out to celebrate with us — we loved being part of such a fun community tradition!
