October is Animal Safety & Protection Month. This month (and every month) is a time to recognize safety measures you should take to protect your pet. Check out the below safety tips:
- Be proactive. Keep all animals up-to-date on immunizations.
- Pet-proof your home. Remove or secure choking hazards and toxic chemicals.
- Identify your animals. Place tags securely on collars and even label collars with your contact information.
- 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. Place decals on windows and doors with the number of humans and each kind and number of pets residing in the home.
- 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 love PCVH! We’ve been taking our 5 year old Pomeranian here since we moved to Frisco (2019)! From our very first appointment, the vet techs and staff have all been so professional, sincere and personable. It’s very clear that the doctors and staff truly love what they do, and will provide excellent care for their patients and families. Dr. Lopez is our vet, and we fully trust him in caring for our furry baby! Highly recommend!Danica Noonan
