Rennie is a sweet patient of ours who was initially treated in our ER and then by our Internal Medicine service, seeing both Dr. Tam and Dr. Geesaman.
Rennie's mom, Stacey, posted a wonderful update this week: "Rennie is all done with his 5 months of chemo and still acting like a puppy💕! Wearing his 'Avets loves me' bandana!"

Independence Day is almost here! We have prepared a few pet safety tips for you to check out this week ahead of the holiday.
Tip #3: Keep dogs on a leash at all times and make sure they wear identification. For their safety, dogs should be on a short but comfortable leash at all times. Even the best-behaved dogs can get distracted during social gatherings and wander off or jump up on grills and food tables. Fireworks and other loud noises may also cause a nervous pet to run and hide.

Tip #2: Avoid feeding your pet human food. Human foods have the
potential to cause your dog to become sick and require medical
attention. Be aware of:
❌ Barbecued meats with bones, skin, or rubs containing garlic or onion
❌ Chocolate
❌ Any foods containing Xylitol (artificial sweetener), including gum and candy
❌ Melon rinds, grapes, fruit with pits (ex. peaches)
❌ Alcohol
Independence Day is almost here! We have prepared a few pet safety tips for you to check out this week ahead of the holiday.
Tip #1: Keep pets that are sensitive to loud noises and flashes of light away from windows. Play soothing music, or other continuous white noise, throughout the house to help drown out the sound of fireworks.
Prevent burns by keeping pets away from fire. In addition to the burn risk, certain lit objects are also extremely toxic:
❌Charcoal Grills (including the charcoal, lighter fluid, matches)
❌ Sparklers
❌ Fireworks
❌ Citronella candles
