🥶❄️ Extreme Cold Weather Warning ❄️🥶
From Tawas Animal Hospital
🚨 With dangerously cold temperatures expected, we want to remind pet owners that cold weather can be just as dangerous as extreme heat. 🚨
🐾 Watch for these cold-weather warning signs in pets:
• Shivering or trembling
• Lethargy or weakness
• Whining or anxiety
• Cold ears, paws, or tail
• Limping or lifting paws
• Pale gums
• Slowed breathing
⚠️ Pets most at risk include puppies, seniors, small breeds, short-haired pets, and those with medical conditions.
🏡 How to keep your pets safe:
✔️ Bring pets indoors whenever possible
✔️ Limit outdoor time and walks
✔️ Wipe paws after going outside (ice, salt & chemicals can burn)
✔️ Provide warm bedding away from drafts
✔️ Ensure outdoor pets have proper shelter, dry bedding, and fresh (unfrozen) water
If your pet is showing any signs of distress, please contact us right away. Cold exposure can become serious very quickly.
🐶🐱 When in doubt — bring them inside.
Your pets depend on you to keep them safe. ❤️

🐾 January Pet of the Month – Meet Tucker! 🐾

Say hello to Tucker, our January Pet of the Month here at Tawas Animal Hospital! This handsome 14-year-old golden retriever is as sweet as they come—sugar face and all—and truly proves that age only adds to the charm. 🤍

When Tucker isn’t melting hearts with his frosted muzzle, you can find him enjoying his favorite pastimes: playing ball, swimming, and even diving for hidden treasures in the sand of our beautiful Great Lakes! 🌊🎾

Tucker absolutely loves his visits to Tawas Animal Hospital, especially when it means soaking up attention, hugs, and plenty of love from all his favorite ladies. Sweet as sugar and always smiling, he never misses a chance to make a new friend (or collect a few extra pets along the way!).

Congratulations to this golden boy—January is better with you, Tucker! 🐶✨

🐾 Loyalty has its perks at Tawas Animal Hospital! 🐾

Sweet Bailey and her mom earned so many Fetch Loyalty Points just by being a loyal client that Bailey received a FREE dental cleaning today! 🎉🦷
That’s a $275 service — completely free — just for being a loyal customer.

Bailey’s mom chooses to purchase her pet’s medications and services right here at Tawas Animal Hospital, knowing that her Fetch points will save her money over time — and today, they really paid off!

We know it can be tempting to shop with big online pet stores, but please remember:
🐾 We are a small, local business
🐾 We employ your neighbors and friends
🐾 And we are doing everything we can to give back to our amazing clients

We may never be able to compete with big online companies — but they will never move into our community or take care of your pets like we do. 💙

Thank you for supporting local and for being part of the TAH family, Bailey’s mom — we loved celebrating this with you today!

Indoor cats are just as prone to dental disease, obesity, arthritis, kidney issues, and diabetes as outdoor cats.

Annual wellness exams help catch problems early and keep them healthier for years to come.

Schedule your cat’s checkup today. 🐾

🎉 HAPPY NEW YEAR from Tawas Animal Hospital! 🎉

As we step into a brand-new year, we can’t help but smile at this simple thought:
If we all lived a little more like our pets… how happy would we be?

They don’t dwell on yesterday.
They don’t stress about tomorrow.
They show up every day ready to love, rest, play, forgive, and enjoy the moment.

So this year, we’re taking notes from the real experts 🐶🐱

Here are some Pet-Approved New Year’s Resolutions we can all get behind (From our Manager Brittany):

🐕 Walk more. Sniff everything.
Because fresh air fixes a lot of problems.

🐈 Take naps like it’s your job.
Sunbeams encouraged. Guilt not allowed.

💦 Drink more water (even if you complain about it).
Hydration = good human.

🍽️ Get excited about meals again.
Every meal deserves tail wags or happy dances.

🎾 Move your body every day.
Zoomies count. Stretching counts. Chasing imaginary squirrels optional.

❤️ Love hard. Forgive fast.
Pets don’t hold grudges—and neither should we.

🦴 Take care of your health.
Preventive care now means more adventures later.

🌟 Find joy in the small stuff.
A favorite toy. A warm lap. A really good scratch behind the ears.

🛋️ Rest when you’re tired.
Your pet has never powered through burnout—and neither should you.

🐾 Be present.
Right here. Right now. Just like they are.

If we all followed our pets’ New Year’s resolutions, the world might be a little calmer… a lot happier… and filled with so much more love 💙

Here’s to a New Year full of health, happiness, wagging tails, loud purrs, and moments that truly matter—for you and the pets who make life better every single day.

🐾 Happy New Year!
