🚨 ATTENTION TOLEDO PET OWNERS: PET SAFETY ALERT (GMA CHEMSPILL) 🚨

Following the glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) leak on Progress Avenue in North Toledo, emergency orders remain active. GMA vapors can cause severe respiratory, eye, and skin irritation in both humans and pets.

Because pets breathe faster and are closer to ground level, act now to protect them:
🏠 If Sheltering-in-Place

Bring Pets Indoors Immediately: Keep all dogs, cats, and small animals inside.

Skip Dog Walks: Limit outdoor access to brief, essential potty breaks—or use p*e pads indoors.

Seal Your Home: Turn off central A/C, heating, and exhaust fans. Keep all windows and doors tightly closed.

Block Hiding Spots: Close off tight areas (under beds, behind couches) so pets are easy to reach if an evacuation is declared.

🚗 If Evacuating

NEVER Leave Pets Behind: If it’s unsafe for you, it’s unsafe for them.

Leash & Carrier First: Secure pets in carriers or on sturdy leashes before stepping outside—fumes and sirens can induce panic.

Grab Pet Essentials: Pack food, bottled water, medications, leashes, and medical records.

🧼 If Exposed to Fumes or Chemical Residue

Protect Yourself: Wear gloves and a mask before touching exposed animals.

Wipe & Wash: Wipe down paws and fur with damp towels, then bathe thoroughly with warm water and mild pet shampoo.

Flush Eyes: Gently rinse irritated eyes with lukewarm water or sterile saline.

Call a Vet: Seek immediate veterinary care if your pet exhibits coughing, heavy panting, eye discharge, skin redness, or vomiting.

🪱 Protect Your Pups from Screwworms! 🐾

Did you know that keeping your dog on a routine monthly parasite preventative is one of the best ways to protect them from dangerous pests like the New World screwworm?

Screwworm flies lay eggs in open cuts, bites, or minor scrapes, and the larvae burrow into living tissue. Fortunately, Simparica Trio provides key defense:

*FDA-Authorized Protection: The FDA granted Emergency Use Authorization for Simparica Trio to help treat and manage screwworm infestations in dogs.

*Stops the Vector: It kills fleas and ticks fast, stopping the itchy bites and scratches that leave open wounds vulnerable to fly eggs.

*All-in-One Defense: Keeps your dog covered against heartworms, fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms all year long.

What to do as a pet parent:
1. Check your dog's skin for any unusual wounds, swelling, or irritation.
2. Keep cuts clean and covered when outdoors.
3. Make sure their monthly Simparica Trio chew is up to date!

Call us today to ensure your furry best friend has the right prescription coverage! 🐶❤️
