As cats grow older, many develop arthritis, a painful joint condition that affects their mobility and wellbeing. Recognising the signs of arthritis early on and getting treatment can help ease discomfort and slow its progression.

To check if your cat might be showing signs of arthritis, we’ve created a simple assessment.

Pets are naturally curious, often exploring their surroundings with their noses and mouths. While some of this curiosity can be harmless, certain plants can pose serious risks to your dog or cat. Many common plants contain toxic substances that can cause a range of symptoms, from mild irritation to severe, life-threatening conditions.

Understanding which plants are dangerous and how to protect your pets is essential for keeping them safe. Here are some of the most common plants that are toxic to pets, along with pet- friendly alternatives.

Many pets can develop a fear of loud fireworks. Create a safe place inside for your pet to retreat, offer treats, and stay with them during fireworks. You can also close windows and curtains and turn up the TV volume to reduce the noise. Also, ensure your backyard and home are secure and your pet’s microchip and identification tag details are up-to-date, as frightened pets can sometimes try to escape.

𝑺𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒙𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒑𝒆𝒕
Excessive barking, howling, or whining
Refusing to eat or drink water
Intense pacing, trembling, panting, or cowering
Urinating or defecating indoors
Digging, scratching, or chewing
Excessive salivating or biting themselves

Cats may also display these particular signs of emotional distress:
Hiding or trying to escape
Holding their tail tightly to their body
Hair standing up or holding their ears back
Urinating outside their litter box
Increased vocalisation

If you notice these signs in your pet, put them in a quiet, safe space. Avoid giving them treats as this can reinforce the behaviour. Pheromone diffusers could help to calm your pet. Talk to your vet about Feliway for cats or Adaptil for dogs.

While including our pets in family occasions is nice, be careful not to feed your dog Christmas leftovers. Cooked and uncooked meat can lead to canine pancreatitis, and cooked bones can splinter and become a choking hazard. Avoid feeding your dog chocolate or Christmas pudding, as both have ingredients that are toxic to dogs.

𝐴d𝑑i𝑡i𝑜n𝑎l f𝑒s𝑡i𝑣e f𝑜o𝑑s y𝑜u𝑟 𝑝e𝑡 𝑠h𝑜u𝑙d a𝑣o𝑖d i𝑛c𝑙u𝑑e:
❌Grapes, sultanas, raisins, and currants
❌Cherry pits (and other stone fruit pits)
❌Macadamias
❌Corn cobs
❌Alcohol
❌Lollies & artificial sweeteners
❌Salty foods (chips, pretzels, crackers, etc.)
❌Cooked bones
❌Chocolate
❌Christmas pudding

✅Opt for dog-friendly treats if you’d like to indulge your furry friend.
