The holidays are quickly approaching!

This is a special time for everyone, including your furry family members. When preparing for the festivities, it is always important to consider your pets because we often don't realize that they can get sick from the things we take for granted...like the plants that we bring in for the holidays! Mistletoe, Poinsettias and Holly are a few that can be dangerous if consumed. Protect your pet as you start to decorate for the holiday season.

 

 

Missing a turkey wing?

Missing a turkey wing? To make sure your dinner doesn't fly away, we want to remind you to have plenty of food and treats for your four-legged friend on Thanksgiving. Remind your guests to please “do not” feed the pets. Those tasty turkey bones can splinter and perforate the stomach and other major organs. Ingesting a ...bone is a common holiday hazard. Cooked poultry bones may seem like the perfect gift for your pet, but do him a favor and save them for the soup. Even large cooked bones are prone to splintering, which can pierce through the animal’s intestines. Keep pets safe this Thanksgiving holiday.

Thanksgiving Pet Safety Tips

Celebrating the holidays at your house this year?

We want to remind you to keep an eye on the foods your pet eats during this time. Some foods like chocolate or onions can be toxic to your pet, while other fatty foods such as meats and cheeses can cause pancreatitis, a painful GI condition that often requires hospitalization.  To keep your pet safe and healthy, keep hard to resist items out of reach and feed only foods and treats made specifically for him or her. Just a fall reminder from the staff at Crescenta Canada Pet Hospital.

Bring your pet for picture day with Santa!

Don't forget to bring you pet in for picture day with Santa on Friday November 26th from 1pm to 6pm.

November Seasonal Tip from Crescenta Canada Pet Hospital

While people love the sights and smells of the Thanksgiving season, this can be a dangerous time for your pet. Their sense of smell is hundreds of times better than ours…and can get them into trouble! Be sure to keep rich foods and gifts of food out of reach of your pet. For a special holiday treat, pour sodium-free broth over your pet’s regular food.

 

 

November Employee of the Month

Crescenta Canada Pet Hospital would like to honor Valerie Martinez, better known as Valie, as Employee of the Month for November.

Valerie Martinez (Valie) joined Crescenta Cañada Pet Hospital in 2006 and began her veterinary career as a kennel technician. Valie chose to work in the veterinary profession as a result of her lifelong love of animals. In 2007 Valie was appointed our Kennel Manager and has revolutionized the kennel department. She takes great pride in her work and her goal is always to make every pet feel like this is their home away from home.
When Valie is not working she enjoys baseball, music, traveling and taking care of her own 4 legged babies, Madison, Morgan and Stripe.

We thank her for all her contributions to the practice as part of our Management Team!
