          This is Halloween week and while it is a lot of fun for is humans, pet costumes, scary people costumes, candy, trick or treaters, and parties all have special risks for our pets so we ask everyone to plan ahead to keep your pet(s) healthy and safe.

     That big bowl of candy may be hard to resist for all of us, but can be quite dangerous to our pets! Chocolate can be toxic, candies containing the artificial sweetener Xylitol can cause problems, and just think of all of those candy wrappers & lollipop sticks that a pet might consume!   Please keep all candies safely out of reach of your pets and don’t leave Rover unattended with a big bowl of candy at the front door.

     While the vast majority of our intake is dogs and cats, we do also receive the occasional small pet like Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Ferrets, Hamsters, Mice, Rats, Gerbils, Birds, etc.  In most cases these pets were purchased to teach a child responsibility and are brought to us when the child has lost interest in the pet and is not taking care of it.  We have to wonder what kind of lesson is being taught to these children when the solution is ‘getting rid of’ that pet?  Of course, we would agree that turning the pet into a shelter or re-homing it is a better solution than for the pet to be ignored, not cared for or discarded in an inhumane manner.
