 | Parties, visitors, and a change in routine can be stressful for pets. A little planning ahead can help keep them safe and comfortable as you ring in the new year.
š¾Ā Burn energy early Help your pet get plenty of physical and mental exercise earlier in the day with a long walk, play session, or enrichment activity.
šĀ Check ID & microchip registration Make sure your pet is wearing an ID tag, is microchipped, and that all registration and contact information is up to date.
š«Ā Keep pets away from party food and substances Many common party foods, alcohol, and other substances can be harmful to pets. Store items securely and remind guests not to share.
šļøĀ Create a calm, quiet space Set up a comfortable area away from guests where your pet can relax, with familiar bedding, toys, and soothing sounds if needed.
Wishing you and your pets a happy and safe start to the new year! š |
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 petās 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 usĀ Wednesday, January 21st at 6PM ETĀ 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 petās health and quality of life. Please emailĀ UsdanIn...@amcny.orgĀ with any questions. |
