❄️🐾 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁 ❄️🐾

Winter walks can be tough on your pet’s paws. Ice melt, salt, and frozen sidewalks can lead to irritation, dryness, or even small cuts. While getting outside is important, a little extra paw care goes a long way during the colder months.

✨ 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝘄 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀:
• After each walk, gently wipe your pet’s paws to remove salt and residue
• Check between paw pads for ice buildup or redness
• Consider using protective booties to shield their feet from harsh surfaces
• Apply pet-safe paw balm to keep pads moisturized

If your pet experiences complications from winter hazards, call us at (𝟳𝟭𝟲) 𝟲𝟲𝟮-𝟲𝟲𝟲𝟬 or visit us at 𝟯𝟵𝟯𝟬 𝗡 𝗕𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗼 𝗦𝘁, 𝗢𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸, 𝗡𝗬 𝟭𝟰𝟭𝟮𝟳—we’re here to help!

January is 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗗𝗼𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, a perfect time to strengthen the bond between you and your pup through positive training, enrichment, and consistency. Whether you’re teaching basic manners or brushing up on old skills, a little training goes a long way in keeping dogs confident, safe, and happy.

✨ 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱:

The holidays bring sparkle, warmth, and celebration—but some festive decorations can pose risks to our pets. As we head into Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year’s, here are a few important hazards to keep in mind:

🐾 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀:
• 𝗧𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗹 & 𝗥𝗶𝗯𝗯𝗼𝗻𝘀 – Can cause serious intestinal blockage if swallowed
• 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 – Tempting for chewers and can lead to burns or shocks
• 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘀 – Mildly toxic and can cause stomach upset
• 𝗢𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 & 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 – Sharp or breakable pieces can injure curious pets

To keep your furry family safe, place décor out of reach, avoid dangling items, and create a calm, cozy space where your pet can relax away from the commotion.
