๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ— This Thanksgiving season, a friendly reminder from Madison Veterinary Emergency: turkey bones are NOT pet treats! ๐Ÿพ

Turkey bones can pose serious dangers to your furry friends. They can splinter and cause choking, blockages, or even puncture their digestive tract. ๐Ÿฆด๐Ÿ’ฅ

While we celebrate and indulge in delicious Thanksgiving feasts, ensure our pets stay safe and healthy. Instead of bones, please treat them with pet-friendly snacks or a special toy while you savor your meal. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ

If your pet has an emergency, please call us at (256) 434-5290. Our regular hours are Monday-Thursday from 6 PM โ€“ 7 AM and all weekend, from Friday 6 PM to Monday 7 AM. Furthermore, we're available 24 hours a day on all major holidays! Let's keep this holiday season joyful for everyone in the family, including our beloved pets! โค๏ธ๐Ÿฆƒ
