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.

A 'real' veterinary clinic. Not the sterile, stiff, expensive type that is only a money maker. This vet cares and is very aware of cost. They do not overcharge. For a single mom that wants to take care of her pets without feeling robbed, this is a breath of fresh air... so to speak. Hehehe

Daisy mountain veterinary is a great family veterinarian. My old English bull dog is extremely sensitive to most foods. He developed smell and was scratching his fur off. After a shot and an explanation on a bacterial yeast infection our puppy was good. I now have to take our dog to maintain a shot to keep him from scratch, but it is as needed and we are not pressured in to any BS blood work or stool samples.
