I couldnt find a bag to scoop the litter so I left it for tomorrow and Ill bring one with me. All is good with him hope your having a great vacation.

Thanksgiving is upon us

As you know Thanksgiving is upon us. With all of the yummy food we're about to eat we may be tempted to give our furry friends a plate to celebrate with us. But according to one of the top pet health insurance companies in America that plate of rich food can cause a lot more than cheer and a full belly. The rate of pancreatitis in dogs goes up 78% in just the month of November. Other gastrointestinal issues goes up 27%. Pancreatitis is an extremely painful condition that can cause a painful distended abdomen, vomiting, loss of appetite, a hunched back and sometimes diarrhea. Pancreatitis can be caused by ingesting greasy high fat food as in table scraps or getting into the trash. Obese or overweight dogs seem to be at a higher risk. This disease can range from a one time mild incidence to a chronic disease that can increase in severity and can even cause death. So if you're celebrating this holiday season and don't want to leave your furry friends out of the festivities make sure they only get low fat, low calorie, vet approved treats. If you're leaving for the holidays give us a call anytime. Have a happy and safe holiday season!!!
