Pets & Lawn Fertilizer

People use fertilizer to make their lawns and gardens grow healthy and green. We would like to remind you to keep your pet off of the lawn for at least three days, or thoroughly water the lawn and let it dry before letting your pet out. Dogs and cats will eat grass sometimes, and if they eat fertilizer, it could have deadly results. Signs of fertilizer poisoning are vomiting and lethargy.

Pets of the Month

Cherokee Animal Clinic is proud to honor Sarah and Tarby as Pets of the Month! They are the "children" of receptionist Joan Altieri. Sarah is an amiable Labrador mix and Tarby is an active Husky mix, who Joan adopted as an injured puppy. Both dogs are wonderful companions, providing love, laughter, and loyalty to their family. They truly believe they are human! Both dogs enjoy walks, chasing squirrels and rabbits in the backyard, gnawing on their chew toys, and watching the activity on the streets from the comfort of the couch. Joan would be totally lost without her two canine sweethearts!

Congratulations Amy!

Congratulations to Amy who is getting married today! Best wishes to Amy on this special day!

 

Sneezing…watery…running eyes and nose…itchy and scratchy skin. Its allergy time.  Did you know that your pet suffers from seasonal allergies just as you do?  We offer services for your pet to test for allergies, fleas, ticks and other critters to keep your pet looking and feeling their best.

Dogs on Easter

This cat was certainly sporting some 'bling' during its x-ray!

Easter Lilies & Cats

Easter Lilies can be a beautiful decoration in the spring season, but did you know that all parts of the lily plant are considered toxic and dangerous to your cat? If ingested, it can cause severe kidney damage and even death. Please be advised that cat owners should remove lilies out of reach of your cat and consider an alternative to the lily such as Easter Orchids and Easter Daisies.

Happy Birthday Wishes to Joan!

Team Member of the Month

Joan has been working at Cherokee Animal Clinic just over three years.  She has three sons and a one year old granddaughter she loves spending time with.  Sports, camping, reading and cross stitch embroidery are just a few of her favorite activities.

Joan shares her home with her two beloved dogs - Sarah, a Labrador mix, and Tarby, a Husky mix that Joan rescued as an injured puppy.  Spending time outdoors is a favorite family pastime, whether it is at the boys' softball games, or in the yard, where Sarah and Tarby keep an eye out for any invading rabbits and squirrels

Spring is a great time to call in and schedule your pet for their annual vaccinations. After a long winter, pets can’t wait to get outside and get into all sorts of trouble. Make sure they are safe and free from diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus.
