During this long 4th of July weekend, please keep your cats indoors-only, and keep your dogs indoors as much as possible, too.  If you take your dog out, please keep him on a leash.  Firecrackers (the “safe and sane” legal version, or the illegal varieties) make a lot of noise, and most dogs and cats are very stressed by the noise.  So please keep them indoors, so they don’t panic, run away and become lost.

Save the dates!  Saturday 5/31 and Sunday 6/1 from 11 AM to 5 PM, FOSMAS will be at these locations:

Max and Odie have lost their loving home, and desperately need a new home – preferably together.

Dr. Mark Stickney, a clinical associate professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine, was recently mentioned in the article, “Extreme Groomers Give Dogs Dazzle,” regarding creative and eccentric grooming for dogs. Everything from Mohawks, flower designs and temporary paint tattoos are created on the animal for “bonding” between a person and their pooch. Harmless yet extravagant, this extreme grooming fad is becoming increasingly popular among dog owners. While Dr. Stickney admits in the article that this type of grooming is not for him, he does agree that you should always be sure to keep up with your pets’ basic grooming.
