☀️🍔 4 Tips for a Pet-Friendly July 4th Pawty! 🎇🐾

The 4th of July is all about backyard BBQs and celebration, but it can also present some hidden hazards for our four-legged family members. To help keep your pets safe, happy, and healthy this holiday, keep these 4 key safety tips in mind:

😎 Make It Shady: High heat brings risks of dehydration and heat stroke. Ensure your pets have access to cool, shady spots and plenty of fresh water.

🚧 Fence It In: July 4th is a peak time for pets to go missing. Keep outdoor activities contained to a secure, fenced yard and cover any escape routes.

🚫 Skip Party Favors: Sparklers, glow sticks, streamers, and fireworks can easily injure, scare, or harm your pet.

🍗 Watch Over Food & Leftovers: Keep prying paws away from the BBQ table! Fatty meats, onions, garlic, chocolate, and even corn on the cob can be toxic or dangerous choking hazards.

💊 Is your pet terrified of fireworks? Loud booms can cause severe panic and stress. We have safe, effective pet anxiety medications and calming solutions available right here at Ada Veterinary Clinic to help them peacefully through the noise. Give us a call ahead of time so we can find the right option for your furry friend!

🚨 What to do in an emergency: If you suspect your pet has eaten something toxic or needs urgent medical attention, please seek help immediately. Take them to the nearest vet, or reach out to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Helpline at (888) 426-4435.

From all of us at Ada Veterinary Clinic, have a wonderful, safe, and happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸✨

Happy National Insurance Awareness Day! 🐾❤️

We never want to think about our fur babies getting sick or injured, but life happens. Whether it's an unexpected swallowed sock, a sudden illness, or managing a chronic condition, the last thing you want to worry about in a medical emergency is the bill.

That’s why we love telling our clients about providers like Pumpkin Pet Insurance. Pumpkin helps take the financial stress out of veterinary care by offering plans with a high 90% reimbursement rate for eligible vet bills. It means you can focus 100% on what matters most—helping your pet get better—rather than worrying about the cost.

Thinking about protecting your pet? Here is why look into a plan today:
1️⃣ Enroll early: It’s best to sign up while your pet is young and healthy to avoid "pre-existing condition" exclusions.
2️⃣ Extensive coverage: Pumpkin plans cover accidents, illnesses, hereditary conditions, and even behavioral issues.
3️⃣ Keep us in the loop: If you sign up, let us know at your next visit so we can help you with anything you need for your claims!
