🧣 Brr! Chilly Walks?

A cozy sweater or coat does more than make your pet look adorable. It maintains body temperature, especially for short-haired or small breeds, and protects against wind chill. For older pets or those with arthritis, warm gear keeps joints comfortable, allowing for longer, more enjoyable walks. Plus, it helps keep your furry friend dry in damp fall weather, reducing the risk of skin issues. A well-fitted coat can even make anxious pets feel more secure as the seasons change.

Warm pets are happy, healthy pets! 🐕🍁

🌰 Fall Nut Alert! As autumn leaves fall, so do nuts that can harm your pets:

Acorns: Contain tannins that can cause stomach upset and potentially kidney damage

Walnuts: Risk of intestinal blockage and toxic mould growth

Hickory nuts: Can cause intestinal upset and blockages

Pecans: High-fat content can lead to pancreatitis

Keep your yard clear of nuts, and watch your pet closely on walks. Symptoms to watch for: vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and abdominal pain. 🍁🐕

Fall brings muddy trails and hidden debris that can wreak havoc on your pet's paws.

After walks, give those pads a thorough wipe-down to remove mud, small pebbles, and potentially harmful salt or de-icing chemicals. Check between the toes for any stuck leaves or burrs. The changing weather can also lead to dry, cracked pads, so apply a pet-safe moisturizer regularly. Don't forget to trim the fur between paw pads to prevent ice ball formation as temperatures drop.

Healthy, clean paws mean more tail-wagging adventures! 🍂🐾

Save this post to ensure your pet's feet are safe during the fall season!

This is our sixth year serving as a trauma centre for The Ontario Turtle Conservation. This year we have helped over 25 turtles start their road to recovery. Turtles are on the move, so keep an eye out for them on the roads and if you find an injured turtle give us a call!

Ear mites are mites that live in the ears of animals and humans. We found these mites in the ear of an 8 week old kitten. The most commonly seen species in veterinary medicine is Otodectes cynotis (Gk. oto=ear, dectes=biter, cynotis=of the dog). This species, despite its name, is also responsible for 90% of ear mite infections in felines.

A BIG woof out to Gunner who had his people drop off gift certificates for our fundraiser - Nail Trim for Teens - even though he doesn’t need a nail trim! Paws-itively paw-some!🐾💕
