Dog from Lexington Rd fire needs good home!

09/27/2011 18:07:00

This dog was saved from the Lexington Rd House fire today. This is Mickey. Apparently, the owner let the dog out before the fire started. Mickey was found scared and shivering this morning at Stringtown Elementary. Teachers cared for Mickey and called us to assist. Mickey is now at VHS. They will evaluate him and if no family or friends are found, he will be available for adoption. Please help Mickey find a good home!

Keep Valentine's Day Safe for your pets!

02/09/2011 10:45:00

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and love is definitely in the air, but so is potential danger for your pets. Pet Sitters International (PSI) offers pet owners a few hints to keep pets safe this Valentine’s Day.

Two of the most common Valentine’s Day gifts, chocolate and flowers, can be extremely hazardous to pets.

Last year, The American Society for the Protection Against Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) saw a 74 percent increase in cases of chocolate ingestion in the week before Valentine’s Day.

Animals are particularly sensitive to theobromine and caffeine, two ingredients in chocolate. The darker the chocolate, the more dangerous it is to your pets. Be sure to paw-proof all Valentine’s chocolate.

Many pet owners don’t realize that all members of the Lily family are extremely poisonous to cats. This is not a clever ploy by florists to sell more roses. Be sure any Valentine’s bouquets are lily-less.

These measures should keep your furry valentine feeling just fine. If your pet does ingest anything harmful, call your vet or a local emergency animal hospital immediately.

Thank you Veterans!

Well, I did overnight care and have been to 5 client's homes already this morning. I cared for 9 dogs, 4 cats (including insulin injection), an aquarium and have been on two dog walks! I think I'll take a break now. Life is good!
