The Holiday Season is a wonderful time of year but can also be dangerous for our pets. Keep these simple things in mind and you and your pet will both have a happy holiday. Turkey Bones: Although it may be tempting to give your pet a holiday treat, under no circumstances should they be given turkey bones. The small bones or fragments of the bones from a turkey can become lodged in your pet’s throat, stomach or intestines.

Sadie Mae is even beginning to make friends with the other mares! She has started to trust the staff and seems to enjoy her weekly baths.
