🐾🐾❤️👨‍✈️🧕🏼FIREWORKS WARNING

Please keep your pets safe inside commencing tonight and for the next few nights, in order for some residents who will celebrate.

Please consider not using fireworks... many wildlife suffer as well as folks with anxiety or ptsd.

Team Chelsea has historically had an increase in missing dogs during this time due to fireworks and pets who are normally calm and not fearful, have escaped.

This trend is also very common throughout Canada during this time, many dogs go missing as a result of fireworks and some sadly have lost their lives as a result of being hit by cars. Take all necessary precautions and remember there is always a first time for your pet, thus play it safe, KEEP OUR DOGS SECURED AND SAFE.

To help keep your pets’ safety and comfort in mind.
.. 7 tips to help you keep pets at ease:

1) Keep pets indoors
Walking dogs before dusk or keeping outdoor cats inside will help them feel safer in the comfort of their home.

2) Close your blinds and curtains
Your pet will be more at ease if they can’t see the parties or fireworks. Placing a blanket over your dogs’ crate is also a good way to keep them feeling safe and secure.

3) Close windows and doors
Dogs and cats have acute hearing and can hear far better than we can. Many dogs and cats will try and escape when they feel panicked, so limiting noise levels can help protect them from getting out and getting lost.

4) Offer a distraction
Giving your dog a bone or a peanut butter-filled Kong will keep them happily distracted. The same can be said for cats; provide a catnip toy or a game of laser tag to keep your feline friend preoccupied

5) Fit your dog with an anti-anxiety shirt
Scientifically designed and used by professionals, Swaddleshirts are specially designed to apply gentle, constant pressure on nervous pets to calm anxiety and fear during fireworks, thunder, separation, travel, vet visits, and much more.

6) Microchip your pet
Microchipping your pet and/or ensuring their identification is up to date in the occurrence of a panicked escape is an important preventative measure to have in place.

7) Stay at home
If your dog or cat is extra susceptible to noise-related anxiety, consider skipping fireworks this year and keeping your furkids company instead of leaving them alone.

Help keep your pets safe. Happy weekend.

It’s been three months since we lost our greeter, the wonderful boy, Winston. He is missed with every movement. He was such a brave boy known to save squirrels from eagles, pull people up steep hills and of course save us from any leftovers... 🙃❤️🍝. Red, the activity coordinator, will carry Winston’s torch and be happy to greet.... be it with a little less calm energy. We will plough through.... literally. 💔👣♥️🐾🐾🙏

Make sure the KIDS have put away all of their toxic food ie. Gum, sugarless gum, chocolate, raisins, and so many others. Take care of of the FURRY babies...

Sweet little August here would like to remind all of her canine friends about the dangers of ingesting gum! She needed to stay several nights in our hospital this week to protect her liver and maintain her blood sugar since she was a naughty girl and ate some xylitol. 🍬 She thankfully responded very well to treatment and is back home recovering with her family. No more gum for you, little lady! ❤️

It is better to have eaten something and thrown it up
and eaten it again,
then to have never eaten it at all....
