Infographic on Hanukkah Pet Safety
Hanukkah brings its own sights, smells, and traditions—many of which are extremely tempting to pets. The warm glow of the menorah, the aroma of sizzling latkes, the shimmer of chocolate gelt, and the spinning motion of dreidels can all attract curious noses and paws. To help keep the Festival of Lights joyful, bright, and safe for everyone, follow these simple tips.

Upcoming Online Event

Graphic for the webinar titled "Thyroid Disease in Dogs and Cats: From Hypo to Hyper"
Thyroid disease in pets usually takes one of two forms: hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid). Since the thyroid helps regulate metabolism, an imbalance in thyroid hormones can affect your pet’s energy, weight, growth, and overall health. While many species can develop thyroid disease, some are more likely to develop one type over the other, leading to different challenges and treatment options.

Join us Wednesday, January 21st at 6PM ET on Zoom as Dr. Mariel Covo, Senior Veterinarian and Specialist in Internal Medicine, discusses thyroid disease in dogs and cats. She will review the signs to watch for, explain how these conditions are diagnosed, and highlight the latest treatment options to support your pet’s health and quality of life.

Please email UsdanIn...@amcny.org with any questions.
