Thanksgiving foods are a No-No for Your Pets
It is very tempting to give your pet a sampling of the Thanksgiving feast under the table, but before you do, you must know that it is not good for them. If you do not want to go to the animal hospital, do not feed your pet human food during the holidays. And if your food drops off of the table, or your plate, be sure to clean it up right away so your pet doesn’t get to it first. Various foods that your pets are not accustomed to can be hazardous to their digestive track. Some of the consequences are vomiting, and diarrhea.
Humans love holiday chow like turkey and buttery vegetables, but your pet should not like all of the different holiday foods! These foods can cause pancreatitis in pets, which is life-threatening to your furry friend.
And the thing with turkey is, there are always bones! Bones can be extremely harmful to your pet because they can get caught in their throats, or lodged in their intestinal track. The carcass of the cooked turkey may also have bacteria growing in it, and if your pet attempts to eat it—they can get extremely ill.
When throwing away the bones and carcass of the turkey, be sure that you put them into a bag, tie it very tight and make sure you position and arrange it into a trash can where your pet cannot get into.
Make sure this is a holiday season to remember, and hopefully not because your pet got sick due to eating holiday foods!

Halloween Hazards for Your Pet!
Halloween is all about dressing up your pet in a cute costume and parading them around the neighborhood, but there are many things you need to be aware of as a pet owner to make sure your pet does not get hurt.
While walking around the neighborhood beware of candy that has fallen on the ground—for many reasons. Your pet could try and eat the candy and choke on the wrapper because they cannot chew them up and digest them. Also, your pet could try and eat some candy that is harmful to them. All types of chocolate are extremely harmful to pets. The chocolate can poison your pet or cause them to have pancreatic inflammation.
Along with chocolate being very harmful to pets, a natural sweetener called xylitol is dangerous too. Xylitol can be found in numerous popular candies and gums. If a dog ingests candy with xylitol in it, it can result in low-blood sugar—and potential death. In addition to the low blood sugar, xylitol can cause liver failure, which also can lead to potential death.
Everyone at Center Pet hopes that you and your pets have a safe and healthy Halloween! If your pet eats anything candy related that is questionable please call your vet right away.

New Metacam Warning Information: For Cats
There will be a new warning that will now appear on the label for Metacam (solution for injection and oral suspension) that includes feline safety information. The warning will read, “Warning: Repeated use of Meloxicam in cats has been associated with acute renal failure and death. Do not administer additional doses of injectable or oral Meloxicam to cats. See Contraindications, Warnings and Precautions for detailed information.”
In non-vet lingo: You can give your cat one injection after surgery, but it should not be used for daily maintenance. It should be used once in a blue moon- not all the time!
