Only 12 more sleeps until Santa Paws arrives! 🎅🏻
Here are some tips to keep in mind to ensure the safest Christmas & New Year for our furry-friends:
🍪 Ensuring toxic treats are out of reach.
This includes; chocolate, grapes/raisin, onion, garlic, macadamia nuts, christmas pudding, fruit cake, etc.
🦴 Whilst bones can be a good stocking filler for your dog, they can cause a host of problems. Ranging from gastrointestinal issues, splinters, blockages and more! Please visit your local vet clinic or pet store to pick up alternative snacks instead.
🎄 Making sure decorations are inaccessible to your pet.
Christmas lights, tinsel, ornaments and holiday plants such as mistletoe, poinsettia and holly’s are all toxic to pets if ingested.
🎉 Fireworks & parties! Loud noises often cause anxiety for our beloved pets. Please ensure your pet has a quiet place to retreat to if needed.
If your pet suffers from anxiety, please contact us on (08) 8249 9999 to have their medication refilled or to make an appointment.
Have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
