Keep Your Pets Safe and Happy this Holiday Season.

As with any purchase you make for your pet, be sure to follow directions and carefully read safety precautions. When purchasing a gift for your pet, keep in mind whether the product is appropriate for your pet’s age, health status, lifestyle, breed and activity level. What is an excellent product for a dog may not be useful for a cat; what fits a German Shepherd won’t fit a Chihuahua.

If you are ever concerned about a product you have been using or are considering purchasing, reach out to your regular veterinarian for advice. Making sure your pet is happy and healthy is our top priority.
