The holidays are quickly approaching!

This is a special time for everyone, including your furry family members. When preparing for the festivities, it is always important to consider your pets because we often don't realize that they can get sick from the things we take for granted...like the plants that we bring in for the holiday! Mistletoe, Poinsettias and Holly are a few that can be dangerous if consumed. Protect your pet as you start to decorate for the holiday season.

 

We found a cute store in Portsmouth, NH with an excellent reminder for pet owners...

 

 

Missing a turkey wing?

Missing a turkey wing? To make sure your dinner doesn't fly away, we want to remind you to have plenty of food and treats for your four-legged friend on Thanksgiving. Remind your guests to please “do not” feed the pets. Those tasty turkey bones can splinter and perforate the stomach and other major organs. Ingesting a ...bone is a common holiday hazard. Cooked poultry bones may seem like the perfect gift for your pet, but do him a favor and save them for the soup. Even large cooked bones are prone to splintering, which can pierce through the animal’s intestines. Keep pets safe this Thanksgiving holiday.

 

 

Thanksgiving Pet Safety Tips

Celebrating the holidays at your house this year?

We want to remind you to keep an eye on the foods your pet eats during this time. Some foods like chocolate or onions can be toxic to your pet, while other fatty foods such as meats and cheeses can cause pancreatitis, a painful GI condition that often requires hospitalization. To keep your pet safe and healthy, keep hard to resist items out of reach and feed only foods and treats made specifically for him or her. Just a fall reminder from the staff at Cambridge Veterinary Care.

Rocky is Cambridge Veterinary Care's Pet of the Month!

Cambridge Veterinary Care would like to honor ROCKY as Pet of the Month! He is a three year old Dachshund who thinks that he is Top Dog and boy is he right!
He will never get lost or stolen because his mom Robyn, had him microchipped for total protection.

Rocky has a complete wardrobe for all occasions. Check him out in this Santa costume!

Protect pets from the colder weather this season

If your pet enjoys playing outdoors this time of year, be sure to provide them with appropriate shelter from the cold, windy weather we can experience. Nobody likes to be stuck outside in the wind and cold. Be sure to keep an eye on your pets and let them inside if you notice the weather taking a turn for the worse. Just a fall tip from your friends at Cambridge Veterinary Care.

November Seasonal Tips from Cambridge Veterinary Care

Just because the leaves are falling doesn’t mean the fleas and ticks have gone.  Falling leaves bring jumping fleas that will make your pet’s life miserable until a hard freeze wipes them out.  We can recommend remedies to alleviate your pet’s suffering from these pesky critters. Just a fall tip from the staff at Cambridge Veterinary Care.

November's Employee of the Month

Cambridge Veterinary Care would like to honor Cindy, a Veterinary Technician, as Novembers Employee of the Month.

Growing up, Cindy's dad always watched animal shows on television. We suspect that's how her love for animals started. Throughout her life she worked various jobs including retail and administrative but always had an interest in working with animals. She has worked with guard dogs, race horses, and at a few kennels. It was while working at a kennel located in a veterinarian's office that she decided she would take a new path in her career with animals. She then started training to be a veterinary technician. Cindy joined our team in April, 2009. She loves her work and makes time to continue her education even with 2 cats and 2 dogs at home.

 We thank her for her contributions to our practice.
