PetVet Care Centers’ Post

As summer temperatures rise, it's crucial to remember that our pets feel the heat just as much as we do. Ensure your furry friends stay hydrated, avoid walking them during peak heat hours, and never leave them in a parked car. Let's keep our pets safe and comfortable during these hotter days. 🐾💧 #PetCare #HeatSafety #ResponsiblePetOwnership #PetVetCareCenters #VetMed #SummerHeat

FREE Professional Development Opportunity📣 Please join us TODAY (May 22) for a presentation by Dr. Cary Brown on 'Older adults and the experience of disenfranchised grief following companion animal death This presentation will take place from 12:00-1:30 EST Continuing education credits are available! Emerging research suggests that grief over companion animal death is often discounted or even unrecognized (disenfranchised) by others. The extent and consequences of disenfranchised grief are poorly understood. This presentation will share the results of a recent study to deepen understanding of older adults’ experiences of disenfranchised grief in relation to companion animal death.  Participants will learn how to best support older adults who have experienced pet loss and mitigate the impact of disenfranchised grief.

Puppy/kitten farms are where pet shops and 3rd party sellers often get their "products". If you buy a puppy/kitten and don't see the mother and how they are kept, you are likely unwittingly contributing to the cruelty. SO-CALLED "GOOD" BREEDERS ARE A PART OF THE PROBLEM. Healthy dogs/cats who've been abandoned and/or abused and babies from dogs/cats that weren't neutered/spayed by irresponsible guardians, desperate for a home, are KILLED, as shelters are full of unwanted "surplus" animals. Animals are treated like products, commodities that are bred and sold. People go to breeders and pet shops to buy a certain breed they want. If you love animals, help a poor little fur baby who needs a second chance at a happy life and a forever home. Of course you'll love any animal you'll give a home to, it's not their choice to come from a breeder. But we can choose to stop adding to the demand and be a part of the solution instead. When you give a home to a shelter or rescue dog, it will feel a thousand times better to save this fur baby, than going to a breeder. Knowing your new fur baby has been given a second chance and you've given them the happy life they deserve, will make you happier than buying any particular breed. #adoptdontshop It's like a SILENT ATROCITY, that nobody wants to think about.😞 Until it's government policy and legislation to ADOPT NOT SHOP and spay and neuter, the animal overpopulation problem and animal cruelty will continue. Too many people still consider this a "CONSUMER CHOICE" issue (where instead of a life, an animal is a PRODUCT, a commodity to be BOUGHT), rather than an ANIMAL CRUELTY issue, where we continue BREEDING domestic animals, knowing healthy, animals are PUT DOWN everyday like they are "waste product" because they are passed over for a shiny "new" animal of a designer breed. 😢😔 There is no justification for this. We cannot BUY, whilst healthy animals DIE! #EndTheDemandEndTheCruelty 🙏 #adoptdontshop ❤ #rescueanimals ❤ #fosteranimals ❤ #spayandneuter 👍 #banpuppymills 🤬 #bankittenmills 🤬 #banbreeders 🤬 #banpetshops 🤬 https://lnkd.in/exT6eHWN For anyone who thinks we don't kill shelter animals in the UK, YES WE DO, this happens everywhere: https://lnkd.in/e7hgwcZx https://lnkd.in/e9A-kHCt There is no justification, ZERO, for breeding more domesticated companion animals, whilst healthy animals are killed in shelters. We cannot BUY, whilst healthy animals DIE! End the DEMAND, end the CRUELTY. The only solution is to stem the flow and stop breeding more.

#DidYouKnow: Cats are crepuscular, which means that they're most active at dawn and dusk. Other than that, cats typically sleep for 12 to 16 hours a day. They deserve to have this cozy lifestyle. Oregon Coast Small Animal Rescue helps cats and other small animals get the healthy and happy life they all should have. https://bit.ly/3lfTKrI #ReelTimeAnimalRescue #CatRescue #OregonCoastSmallAnimalRescue

There are many health benefits of owning a pet. They can increase opportunities to exercise, get outside, and socialize. Regular walking or playing with pets can decrease blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and triglyceride levels. Pets can help manage loneliness and depression by giving us companionship. Most households in the United States have at least one pet. Studies have shown that the bond between people and their pets is linked to several health benefits, including: Decreased blood pressure, cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels, feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and symptoms of PTSD. Increased opportunities for exercise and outdoor activities; better cognitive function in older adults; and more opportunities to socialize
