from Martindale Animal Clinic

🎄 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵:
Avoid placing fragile ornaments, tinsel, or ribbons where pets can access them; they can pose choking hazards or cause intestinal blockages if ingested.
Secure the Christmas tree to prevent tipping if pets bump into or climb it.

🍂𝗕𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀:
Holiday plants like poinsettias, mistletoe, holly, and lilies can be toxic to pets. Opt for pet-safe alternatives or keep these plants well out of reach.

🔌 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀:
Hide or cover cords from holiday lights to prevent chewing, which can lead to burns or electrocution.

Wishing you and your furry friends a safe and happy holiday season.

Tips for your pets in the cold weather

𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙖 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙢 𝙎𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚:
Set up a cozy, draft-free area for your pet with blankets or a pet bed.
Consider a heated pet bed or mat, but ensure it has safety features to prevent overheating.

𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙤𝙧 𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙤𝙧 𝙏𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚:
Keep the home temperature comfortable, especially for short-haired or small pets.

𝙐𝙨𝙚 𝙋𝙚𝙩 𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙧 𝘾𝙤𝙖𝙩𝙨:
Ideal for short-haired, small, or elderly pets.
Make sure the clothing fits well and doesn’t restrict movement.

𝙇𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙩 𝙊𝙪𝙩𝙙𝙤𝙤𝙧 𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚:
Shorten walks during freezing temperatures, especially for pets sensitive to the cold.

𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙋𝙖𝙬𝙨:
Use booties to shield paws from ice, snow, and salt.
Apply paw balm to prevent cracking or irritation.

𝘼𝙫𝙤𝙞𝙙 𝙒𝙚𝙩 𝙁𝙪𝙧:
Dry your pet thoroughly after they’ve been outside. Wet fur can quickly lower body temperature.

𝘼𝙙𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙁𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚:
Pets that spend more time outside may need extra calories, while indoor pets may not. Consult your vet.

𝙃𝙮𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣:
Ensure access to fresh water, as staying hydrated helps regulate body temperature.

𝙍𝙚𝙜𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙧 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠𝙪𝙥𝙨:
Keep up with vet visits to ensure your pet is healthy and better equipped to handle the cold.

Caring for our aging pets

As cat owners, we love our furry companions and often consider them children or extensions of ourselves.

However, if you consider that cats age 4x faster than we do, bringing them in for a physical exam only when they show signs of sickness could mean that they don’t see the veterinarian for 12-24 cat years.
