The
Texas Coalition for Animal Protection (TCAP) is opening a new clinic location in Burleson in addition to their current Fort Worth and Denton clinics. They are a great resource for low-cost spaying, neutering, vaccinations and more.
Contact them to make an appointment, or suggest them to that neighbor or coworker who just hasn't had the time/money to get their pet fixed. The
Fort Worth and
Denton locations are currently taking appointments, and the Burleson clinic will be open November 23. They also offer twice weekly low-cost vaccination days with no appointment needed.

Halloween Pet-Safety Tips
Keep candy and wrappers out of Fido's reach! Most people know chocolate is harmful for dogs, but other substances in candy, such as Xylitol- an artificial sweetener used in some sugar-free gum, for instance, can be fatal in small doses. So make sure the candy is just for the kids!
DecorationsFake spider webs, stringy wigs and dangly decorations can become an intestinal obstruction if ingested.
General TipsKeep your pet indoors during the Halloween season. Pets, especially black cats, that are left outside can fall prey to Halloween pranks and rituals.
While handing out treats, make sure your pet is confined in a safe area. Some pets will panic when they see children in costumes and may try to sneak out the door, try to run away or may even be aggressive towards children in unfamiliar clothes.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!
