As the temperature rises, so does the likelihood of snake encounters with our pets.
Keeping your pets safe starts with creating a snake-free playing environment, such as a well maintained backyard or designated play area.
Common snake bite symptoms include;
* Sudden collapse or weakness
* Vomiting
* Bleeding or swelling at the bite site
* Dilated pupils
* Difficulty in breathing
If your pet has been bitten by a snake, it's critical to act quickly and calmly. Restrict your pet's movement, and if possible carry your pet instead of allowing them to walk.
If you can safely observe the snake, note its colour and markings.
DO NOT ATTEMT TO CATCH THE SNAKE
Transport your pet to the nearest Veterinarian as quickly as possible and call ahead to let them know you are coming

Use soft cotton pads or gauze to gently clean the ear

Christmas can be a dangerous time for pets with all the festive foods around. Here’s a short breakdown of why these foods are harmful: and why we need to avoid giving them to our pets,

•
Ham: High in fat and salt, which can cause pancreatitis.

•
Bones: Cooked bones can splinter and cause internal injuries.

•
Chocolate: Contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs and cats.

•
Pudding & Christmas cake: Often contain raisins, sultanas, or alcohol, all toxic to pets.

•
Alcohol: Even small amounts can lead to poisoning.

•
Grapes and raisins: Can cause kidney failure, even in tiny quantities.

Keep these treats well out of reach and make sure guests know not to share! If you’re unsure about a food, always double-check before letting your pet have a nibble.

Have a safe and happy festive season

Pets’ oral health is just as important as ours. Regular dental checkups, toothbrushing, and a proper diet can prevent issues like plaque, tartar buildup, and gum disease.
A Dental clean is a great way to keep our pets teeth healthy.

Lilly visited this week to have a scale and polish so she is ready for Christmas cuddles! Clean teeth mean no smelly kisses, just pure love!

How often do you clean your pet’s teeth? If you need tips or advice on dental care for your furry friend, contact us today
