October – Animal Safety & Protection
This month (and every month) is a time to recognize safety measures you should take to protect your pet and ensure they are healthy. Check out the below safety tips:
- Be proactive. Keep all your pets up to date on immunizations.
- Pet-proof your home. Remove or secure choking hazards and toxic chemicals. Make your home pet-friendly and safe.
- Identify your animals. Place tags securely on collars and even label collars with your contact information. If you have more uncommon pets, take pictures in the event they get loose.
- In a disaster, have a plan. Who will be responsible for locating each animal in the house? How will you transport them? If it is a fire, human life takes priority. However, place decals on windows and doors with the number of humans and each kind and number of pets residing in the home. Keep them up to date.
- Learn basic first aid. Caring for your animal at home will prevent a minor injury from becoming severe. Always call your veterinarian if you are unsure.
- Know your animal. If your animal’s behavior changes, watch for signs of illness. Is he injured or spent too much time in the heat? Contact your veterinarian before giving human over-the-counter medications.

Our Clients Love Us!

I made an appointment for my chihuahua after 1.5 months of disappointing treatment at another clinic. I cold called University Vet Hospital, and they got me in as a first-time client relatively quickly, and promised that I wouldn't need to wait long for a follow-up since my dog was in pain with a swollen foot. There was barely any wait, and I could go inside (vaxxed, masked) to chat with the vet. Dr. Landman seemed very smart, had a diagnostic approach, and then pulled a big old thorn out of my pup's foot. The dog is doing well and I am thrilled to have found a great vet in the area. Thanks!
