🎶 It's the most wonderful time of the year 🎶

For many Christmas is a season full of fun, good food and a cheeky tipple or two but for our furry friends these delicious delights can be dangerous.

Below are some commonly seen Christmas toxicities. If you are concerned your pet may have eaten these or anything else they shouldn't have please give us a call.

Everyone deserves a treat at Christmas, just make sure it's the right one 🎄🎅

❄️ As the winter weather is settling in it is really important that we all take extra steps to protect our pets from some of the dangers.

Washing your dog’s paws after every walk, keeping to sensible walks & protecting them from hypothermia & frostbite is essential.

Protect rabbits & small furries by moving them into sheltered areas, providing covers & additional bedding & checking daily that water sources are not frozen.

Cats are very susceptible to antifreeze poisoning which causes irreversible kidney failure when ingested from drinking contaminated puddles or grooming from affected paws. Sadly we see fatal cases every year so be mindful to keep antifreeze secure & wash away any spillage no matter how small. ❄️
