October – Animal Safety & Protection
This month (and every month) is a time to recognize safety measures you should take to protect your pet and ensure they are healthy. Check out the below safety tips:
- Be proactive. Keep all your pets up to date on immunizations.
- Pet-proof your home. Remove or secure choking hazards and toxic chemicals. Make your home pet-friendly and safe.
- Identify your animals. Place tags securely on collars and even label collars with your contact information. If you have more uncommon pets, take pictures in the event they get loose.
- In a disaster, have a plan. Who will be responsible for locating each animal in the house? How will you transport them? If it is a fire, human life takes priority. However, place decals on windows and doors with the number of humans and each kind and number of pets residing in the home. Keep them up to date.
- Learn basic first aid. Caring for your animal at home will prevent a minor injury from becoming severe. Always call your veterinarian if you are unsure.
- Know your animal. If your animal’s behavior changes, watch for signs of illness. Is he injured or spent too much time in the heat? Contact your veterinarian before giving human over-the-counter medications.

We have taken our dogs to Columbia Veterinary for years beginning wirh Dr. Middle, whom we loved! We were a little apprehensive when Dr. Middle retired and sold his practice. However, that apprehension was short-lived. We have come to greatly appreciate and respect Dr. Housley and Dr. Reiger for their caring, professional and thorough care of our "girls!" Sadly, we have moved out of state and have had to start over with a new veterinarian. For a small town, there are several choices here for veterinary care, but we can wholeheartedly recommend Columbia Veterinary Clinic!
