Memorial Day, the kick-off to summer for many of us and others the first of several outdoor activities. Whatever your plans are this holiday, don’t forget these safety tips to help keep your furry ones safe.



No to the barbecue bones. Having a BBQ? Make sure to not give table scraps, especially bones, to your pets.

Hiking or camping on the calendar? Don’t forget to pack a lot of water and have a suitable area for shade.


Fireworks? This beautiful blast of fun and noise can scare our furry ones. Make sure you have their ID tags up to date and they are microchipped.

Sunny Day? Unless you have sunscreen or insect repellent specifically made for animals, this can be toxic for pets. Watch for signs of drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive thirst, or lethargy as this could be a sign of ingestion.

Remember the clinic is closed today in observance of Memorial Day. Should you have a medical emergency, please contact Blue Pearl at 615-333-1212 or VEG at 615-205-2463.
