Halloween is just a few days away and we're here to offer you some tips on keeping your furry friends safe this spooky season.

-Don't feed pets Halloween treats. Raisins can cause your pet’s kidneys to fail, and candy may contain substances toxic to pets, such as chocolate or xylitol.

-Make sure your pets have identification (microchip, collar, and/or ID tag) that will make it easy for someone to contact you and return them home in case they escape through an open door while you're distracted with trick-or-treaters.

-Keep lit candles, jack-o-lanterns, and other Halloween decorations out of reach of pets.

-If your pet is wary of strangers or has a tendency to bite, put them in a room away from the front door during trick-or-treating hours, or provide them with a safe hiding place.

-Keep your pet indoors, especially if they're frightened of fireworks.

We know that those of you with livestock are always seeking the most secure fencing possible, particularly now, when soon the frozen ground and deep snow may prevent necessary fencing repairs or upgrades for a few months.

We have a host of light and medium duty fencing panels, gates with either mesh or pipe, and corral shelters.

Gates starting at just $89.95, and moving fast, so don't miss out!

You can browse our lineup online, or in our Lumby or Vernon locations.

Can chickens eat pumpkin?

Yes!

Pumpkin is a safe and healthy treat for your chickens. It is high in fibre, vitamins, and minerals, plus they love it. Just ensure that you're removing any candle wax or rotten pieces before giving it to your chickens.

While chickens can safely eat the seeds, insides, and shell of the pumpkin, pumpkin is not an effective dewormer for poultry.

If you're looking for a poultry deworming product we stock DVL Piperazine Dihydrochloride, a safe and effective water soluble dewormer.

💥STAFF PICKS💥

Our most recent staff pick comes from Savannah, who raves about the Dynamint Liniment.

Dynamint Liniment is a soothing combination of natural essential oils in a gentle cream base. This topical massage liniment helps to support muscle and joint health after intense exercise or training. The cream formula allows for easy application. Contains peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, tea tree oil and calendula oil.

An added bonus is that it is Canadian made!

Dynamint Liniment has long been one of our most popular items due to it's effectiveness on horses and on people.

In addition to the stock tank heaters that we posted about last week, we also carry heated poultry waters.

Available in either a 2 gallon drinker, or a 3 gallon found, both of these waters are thermostatically controlled to operate only when necessary, suitable for year round use, and have the capacity to be hung to prevent birds from getting the water or unit dirty.

The 2 gallon drinker uses 60 watts of power, has side mounted drip free and freeze free ni***es, features a removable top for easy filling.

The 3 gallon fount uses 100 watts of power, fills from the bottom, and allows birds who aren't accustomed to using poultry ni***es to use the traditional tray to drink from.

Get yours now either in store or on our website.

As the days get shorter and the weather turns nasty it's easy for us to want to hunker down indoors. But how do we meet our pet's exercise and enrichment needs at the same time?

Many pets are suffering from obesity and staying active is vital for them to keep their figure in check.

Using puzzle toys can help by enlongating the time it takes to have your pet eat their meals. You can also encourage your pet to use any stairs in your home. For cats, playing with toys such as a wand catnip can entice them to be more active.

Lastly, be sure that you're accurately measuring their food intake. Avoiding free feeding and using a cup measure will allow you to understand exactly how much your pet is consuming throughout the day.

Thrush is a commonly seen bacterial or fungal infection of a horse's hoof which results in foul smelling, black, and sometimes oily discharge.

It is often caused by horses standing in footing where bacteria have flourished due to muddy, moist, or unhygenic conditions.

If left untreated thrush can spread to sensitive hoof tissues, leading to pain and lameness.

Treatment often starts with a farrier trimming away affected tissue, keeping the hooves clean and dry, and applying topical treatments.

We regularly stock a range of topical options made specifically with thrush treatment in mind, including: NT Dry Thrush Powder, DVL Kopper Kare, White Lightning, Well Horse Thrush Off, and many others.

It's come to the time of year where wild birds will be enjoying suet cakes.

Offering suet during the colder months provides birds with the high calorie and high energy food needed to fuel them, in a feed stuff that is easily digested and metabolized by birds. Suet is particularly attractive to woodpeckers, nuthatches, chickadees, jays, and starlings.

We're proud to offer suet in a wide variety of flavours, including mixed packs, to best suit the preferences of your backyard birds. We also stock feeders that are specifically made for holding suet cakes.

You can browse these in any of our three locations.

Longtime followers know that we often warn about the dangers of Avian Influenza, but all farm animals are at risk of contracting diseases.

Whether you're a farmer on a small scale or a large one, we know that all livestock are susceptible to illness, and it's up to us to do all we can to prevent that.

One of the best things we can do for our animals is to adopt strict biosecurity practices.

The article below has great information on implementing common sense biosecurity that can be applied to any size of farm, and towards almost any species of farmed animal. We hope that you find it as helpful as we did.

We've had a few frosty mornings this past week and it may have you wondering about your stock tank heaters or deicers.

If you already have a deicer, be sure to inspect it thoroughly before use. This includes all working parts and the cord. If there are any signs of damage then it is time to replace the unit.

We occasionally hear from people who are concerned that their deicer stopped working for no reason. This can happen and we recommend resetting your unit.

To reset the deicer or heater simply unplug it, place it in a freezer for an hour, and then try it again. We find that this reset is often all that is needed to have the unit operating once again.

We have a wide variety of stock tank heaters and deicers available now, and will throughout the winter months, to best suit your needs and those of your animals.
