Cats & Car Engines

Have you heard about the danger of car engines for outdoor cats? Our car engines often stay warm for hours after our cars have been shut off, making the perfect warm place for an outdoor cat to sleep. If a car is started while a cat is lying on the engine, the cat could be injured or killed! Always knock on the hood of your car before you start it…you could save a life!

Halloween Safety

Is your pet dressed in their costume and ready to go trick-or-treating? Before you go, be sure to consider a few safety tips. First, ensure that your pet is dressed in a costume that they can comfortably walk in. Second, make sure your pet is wearing something reflective on their costume, or a lighted pet collar. Third, bring pet-safe treats and make sure your kids and neighbors know NOT to give your pet any candy!
