MECHANICVILLE ? For more than 15 years, Homestead Animal Hospital has worked to provide quality veterinary care in a welcoming environment for pets in Mechanicville and the surrounding communities.
The Homestead Animal Hospital staff wants to ensure pets have a healthy and happy holiday season and are offering some tips to help keep everyone safe.
Homestead Animal Hospital Office Manager Kali Kambourelis warns that the holiday season isn't all fun and games when it comes to our furry companions.
"So many of the things we love about the holidays are an accident waiting to happen with our pets," she said. "Christmas lights and electrical cords can be dangerous if chewed. Tinsel and garland if ingested can cause deadly intestinal obstructions, while holiday plant toxicity can quickly cause organ failure. Don't forget about the delicious chocolates, candies and dinners we indulge in. Keep them for yourself and only feed your pets their regular diet."
For those considering a new kitten or puppy under the tree this year, Kambourelis says it's important to remember that the commitment lasts long after the holiday decorations are stored away. "Whenever you are considering adding a pet to your family, you must always take into consideration the long-term commitment that is involved," said Kambourelis. "A puppy under the Christmas tree is adorable, but don't forget they will need veterinary care, training, and daily responsibilities for years to come. They become a lifelong companion that depends on you. If you are ready to make that commitment, adopt a pet."
Homestead Animal Hospital has a long tradition of providing quality pet care to the community.
"Homestead Animal Hospital was established by Dr. Pamela Nelson in 1995. Our goal is to provide the very best veterinary services for your pets in a knowledgeable and caring atmosphere," Kambourelis said. "We are dedicated to preserving and improving the quality of life of your pet, while cultivating long-term client relationships for a lifetime of complete pet care."
The practice is equipped to provide care for pets at any life stage, she said. "We are a full service veterinary hospital offering wellness and preventive health care, surgery and internal medicine including spay and neuter services, radiology, dentistry, laboratory diagnostics, pharmacy and more," she said. "Our patients are cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. We also care for other small 'pocket pets' such as guinea pigs and rabbits. Sorry no exotics, all lizards and snakes will be referred to a great exotic vet."
The hospital also boasts an on-site groomer. "We feel the Grooming Parlor is a great service we can offer to our clients, with the convenience of having their pets looking and feeling good all in one place," Kambourelis said. "It is not uncommon for a groomer to discover an ear infection, a growth, or a condition that may require medical attention. Our groomer, Amy Pechette, has been a professional pet groomer for over thirty years. She keeps our pets looking their best."
Kambourelis says she and the rest of the staff at Homestead Animal Hospital are proud to provide high quality care to area pets. "They are our faithful, furry friends that love us unconditionally," she said. "The least we can do is provide them with the very best health care available. We feel so lucky to have these careers and to be a part of the amazing bond between humans and their pets." Continued...
