Delightful Pet Menagerie Newsletter – November Edition 🗞️

Greetings! Welcome to the November edition of Dr. Pet Mom’s Delightful Pet Menagerie (DPM) Newsletter. I hope you and your families enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

Celebrating Adopt A Senior Pet Month in November 🥳

The holiday season is a time of celebration. I’m happy to celebrate Adopt A Senior Pet Month in November to help senior pets find their new families.

“To create a pet parent community to encourage adoption of rescue and shelter animals. We want to help pets find their forever homes.”

My mission statement keeps me focused on helping animals. Many shelter and rescue animals are senior pets all looking for a furrever home.

Autumn Pet Safety Tips 🎃

Fall is in the air! Schools are opening and families are getting ready for the holiday season. Fall is a wonderful time of year, but pet parents should be aware of the hidden hazards that come with cooler weather.

Cure College Campus Blues: Try Therapy Dogs 🐶

School can be fun, but stress is a way of life for most college and university students. Long days of classes and studying can challenge your well being. But time spent with a furry friend can turn a frown upside down. And smiles and joy will do wonders for our mental health!

Holiday Fun: Doggy Campgrounds 🏕️

Dogs love the great outdoors! Pet parents and their furry pets can now enjoy the outdoors safely together. Try a doggy campground designed for canines and their human caregivers.

You won’t find a description of a doggy campground in Wikipedia, but these safe doggy spaces are popping up around the country.

Delightful Pet Menagerie Newsletter – September Edition 🗞️

Greetings! Welcome to the September edition of Dr. Pet Mom’s Delightful Pet Menagerie (DPM) Newsletter. This month, I’m reminded about why I created this blog: to encourage people to adopt rescue and shelter animals.

My kitty Oscar who passed away last year, was adopted from a rescue. My latest family member, Mingus, was a feral cat, adopted from a shelter. Homeless animals may have special needs, like senior pets or hard to adopt pets, like a feral cat or dog. Let’s celebrate the joy and happiness of special needs pets. Learn all about them and enjoy!

Planning Ahead: Your Pet Emergency Plan ⚠️

September is National Preparedness Month. And June 1 through November 30 is the Atlantic hurricane season. We are keenly aware of the power of hurricanes like Hurricane Dorian this year, and Hurricanes Florence and Michael in 2018.

The damage from hurricanes is life threatening and devastating, for pet parents and their pets. One way you can prepare for bad weather is to create a pet emergency plan.

Mobile Veterinary Clinics: Pros and Cons 🚚

In 2023 in the United States alone, over 393.3 million pets are living in their forever homes. Worldwide, over 1.1 billion pets live with their pet families. Pets need veterinary care and mobile veterinary clinics are stepping up to fill the gap.

Mobile clinics give veterinarians the benefit of running a business. And pet parents everywhere are taking notice of alternatives to the traditional veterinary clinics as the only source for pet care.
