🦃🐾 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆: 𝗗𝗼’𝘀 & 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁𝘀 🐾🦃

Thanksgiving is a time for family, gratitude, and delicious food — but some holiday favorites can be dangerous for our pets! Here are a few quick tips to help keep everyone safe and happy this season:

✅ 𝗗𝗢:
• Share the love — not the leftovers! Offer pet-safe treats or a small portion of plain turkey (no bones or seasoning).
• Keep trash secure — pets are clever when it comes to sniffing out scraps!
• Provide a quiet space for pets who get stressed by guests or noise.
• Stick to your pet’s regular feeding and walking schedule to keep routines calm.

🚫 𝗗𝗢𝗡’𝗧:
• Give turkey bones, skin, or gravy — they can cause digestive upset or serious injury.
• Share foods with onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, chocolate, or xylitol — all are toxic to pets.
• Leave alcoholic drinks or raw dough unattended.
• Forget that holiday decorations and candles can be tempting (and hazardous) for curious pets!

💚 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 — 𝗢𝗣𝗩𝗠𝗖 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴.

If your pet gets into any of the “don’ts” or you need extra pet safety advice, give us a call at (𝟳𝟭𝟲) 𝟲𝟲𝟮-𝟲𝟲𝟲𝟬. We’re always here to help keep your pets safe and healthy — even during the holidays.

🐾✨ 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗖𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆! ✨🐾

Today we celebrate our sleek, mysterious, and utterly lovable black cats! 🖤

For centuries, black cats have carried a mix of myths and magic — in some cultures, they were symbols of good luck and prosperity, while in others, they were unfairly linked to superstition. Thankfully, times have changed, and we now know black cats are just as loving, playful, and full of personality as any other feline friend.

Sadly, black cats are still less likely to be adopted — so today’s the perfect reminder that every color of cat deserves love and a forever home.

If you share your life with a black cat, post a photo below — we’d love to see those shiny coats and golden eyes! 🐈‍⬛💛

🐾 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆! 🐾

Today we’re celebrating all the ways we help our pets live fuller, happier lives — through play, exploration, and mental stimulation! 🎾🧩

Enrichment isn’t just for the zoo — it’s for every pet at home too! Activities like puzzle feeders, snuffle mats, scent games, or even a new walking route can keep your furry friend’s mind and body active.

At OPVMC, we believe enrichment is an essential part of compassionate care — helping pets stay curious, confident, and content. 💚
