A Special Thanksgiving Message From Your Pets

It’s Thanksgiving, and we are most thankful for our clients and their wonderful pets. We wouldn’t be here without your support. To express our gratitude, we’re giving our clients $10 off any treatment or service priced $25 or more. We also asked some pets what they’re thankful for this year.

“Walks! Oh, my gosh, I love walks so much! There is nothing more fun than going outside with my best friend and exploring our neighborhood. We find so many interesting smells! And just yesterday, I barked at a squirrel.” –Olive, chiweenie, 10 months

“My family has recently claimed a new territory, and I am quite thankful for the perch at the top of the stairs at the new house. From there, I can swipe at the humans as they head up. Claws sheathed, mind you. I’m not trying to hurt them, just remind them who is really in charge.” –Olive, domestic shorthair, 5 years

“I don’t spend much time on social media, but I am thankful for the Instagram account @catxplorer. Seeing all the internet cats climbing mountains and strolling through town inspired my human to let me go outside — while wearing a leash and harness, of course. It turns out that walks aren’t just for dogs anymore.”

“This year, I am most thankful for the fact that I don’t have to live at the shelter anymore. I’m an older cat, and after seeing kitten after kitten find their new home, I started to think I was never going to leave. Then Adeline came in, and I knew I had found my new best friend. Sleeping on a bed at night is way better than sleeping in the kennel.”

–Hiro, tabby cat, 8 years “Goodness, what am I not thankful for this year? I am thankful for treats and new toys and long walks! But most of all, I’m thankful that when my humans are watching a movie on the couch, I get to climb under the blanket for cuddles. Couch cuddles are the best kind of cuddles.” –Ginger, pitbull-Lab mix, 12 years

–Checkers, tuxedo cat, 10 years
