The Furry Christmas Wish
We are bringing back a fun holiday activity from a few years ago - the Furry Christmas Wish. Don't you think if your pet could grasp the idea of Christmas gifts, they would be completely on board and have lots of wishes.
We do. So take a good look at your pet, think about their personality -- or petsonality and imagine what would be on their gift list - then tell us.
If you pet could have 1 wish this Christmas what would it be? Would they wish for a backyard full of
bones? All the treats they can eat? To
not have other pet friends in the house?
We want to know! Write down your
pet’s name and wish on one of our special ornaments and hang it on our tree.
On December 24th, we will pick 1 dog wish and
1 cat wish to win a special Christmas gift from all of us at All Creatures.

Thanksgiving Food Exchange
The Thanksgiving Food Exchange is a food drive with a twist
we hold each November at All Creatures Veterinary Center (allcreatuesonline.com). We collect human
or pet food from our wonderful clients and friends.
The cans of corn, jars of peanut butter and boxes of cereal are weighed
on the pet scale in our lobby and we keep a chart showing the weight of all the
donations.
We give all the donated food
to Metrocrest Social Services in Carrollton (metrocrestservices.org). And All Creatures matches the weight of our clients donations with Hill’s® Pet Diets and Royal Canin Pet Food and sends that to Metrocrest too.
Last year our clients donated 400 lbs. of food and All Creatures, along with our pet food partners - Hill’s® and Royal Canin® donated 400 lbs of pet food. Metrocrest Social Services has a pet food bank because many of the families they serve have pets. And those pets need a good nutritious meal, too.
We are going to continue the Food Exchange this year and our goal is to
collect and donate 1000 lbs. of food. So
even if you aren’t one of our clients, feel free to bring your human food
donations by our office at 2525 E
Hebron Pkwy. at Marsh Ridge Rd.
A list of commonly needed
items from Metrocrest’s web site: Peanut butter, Canned fruit, Mac &
Cheese, Flavored rice & pasta “helpers” & “ronis”, Breakfast Cereal.

Time to Spay or Neuter Your Present Pet
Is
it Time to Spay or Neuter Your Present Pet?
Limited Time Offer - Free Microchip with
Spay or Neuter Procedure
Did you or a family member receive a
pet as a present about seven months ago? Or perhaps you have just put off
the decision to spay or neuter your pet! Whatever the case, now is the
time to make this important decision for your pet.
At All Creatures, we treat every
surgery seriously, even "routine" spay and neuter procedures.
We follow a 9 step protocol for every spay or neuter procedure and the fee is
$289. See the details here: http://allcreaturesonline.com/preventive-care-prices/spay-and-neuter-surgery.html
Plus now, through August 31st, we
will include a free microchip for your pet. Some local cities are
starting to require microchips as part of their pet registration regulations. http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2017/06/14/microchipping-mandatory-dallas-dogs-cats/
MICROCHIP IDENTIFICATION
If your family pet does not have
microchip identification, consider this sad story. Just last week, a lady
brought in a beautiful, sweet Siamese mix cat she had found that had no collar
or tag on. We scanned this very nice cat but there was no microchip. Sadly, it
is very likely someone has lost their beloved pet for lack of any ID.
But there are happy reunion
stories. Rocco, a beagle from Queens, New York went missing in 2003. Five
years later, Rocco was reunited with his family after animal control officials
in Georgia identified him by his microchip!
Brooke Burke, Season 7 champion of
"Dancing with the Stars", had her chocolate lab, Jake, returned to
her after he was lost for nine months. When the man who found and kept Jake
took him in for a check-up, the veterinarian scanned for a microchip and began
the reunion process.
At All Creatures, we offer Microfindr microchips that use a smaller chip and smaller needle than other brands.

Spay
and Neuter Benefits
Spaying and neutering is safe and
the only permanent, 100% effective birth control for dogs and cats. In addition
to helping control pet over-population, spaying or neutering your pet has been shown to reduce the chance of developing uterine, ovarian and testicular cancers. It also can reduce the risk of
other health problems and can prolong the life of your beloved pet. Hormone-driven
diseases as well as behavioral issues can be eliminated after the surgical
sterilization procedure.
If your pet is intact, schedule a
spay or neuter appointment with us today.

Does Your Pet Need Dental Insurance?
Does Your Pet Need Dental Insurance?
Every pet parent worries about the “big stuff” that can
affect our pets, like a major health problem or knee injuries, but did you know that dental disease
is far more common. Pet insurance covers
those accidents and illnesses, but many plans now include pet dental services.
And here’s the truth about the tooth: 85% of all pets have
signs of periodontal disease by the time they’re 3 years old – and that’s not
the only thing that can wreak havoc on your pet’s pearly whites! Injuries like
tooth fractures are common, too (particularly if your dog is fond of chewing).
Removing teeth cracked or loose teeth can be costly, which is why having pet
insurance that can help pay for unexpected, non-routine dental treatments is a
great idea.
