Events
Keep pets safe and comfortable this Independence Day
Many of us look forward to the Fourth of July for the food, fireworks, and fun, but while these activities can be fun for people, they can be less so for our pets. Many animals are startled and frightened by fireworks, and summer heat can be deadly for pets. When planning your Independence Day celebration, please take precautions to keep pets safe and comfortable.
What to do if your pet is bitten by a snake
As the temperatures rise, so does the activity of our slithery neighbors. Between April and October, venomous snakes are notably more active, increasing the risk of snake bites, especially for our curious pets.
