Did you know that dental care is a crucial part of your dog’s overall health? Just like us, dogs need healthy teeth and gums to stay happy and active! 🐶💕

Why is it so important?

🦷 Regular dental care helps prevent painful dental issues and keeps your dog’s teeth happy and healthy.

💚 Poor dental hygiene can lead to other serious health problems, like heart and kidney disease. Keeping your pup’s teeth healthy means a healthier pup!

👃 Dental care doesn’t just keep teeth clean - it also helps freshen up your dog’s breath. No more stinky kisses! 😘

Here’s how you can help:

Brush those teeth! 🪥 Make brushing fun and part of your daily routine.
Chew toys to the rescue! 🦴 Help your dog clean their teeth while they play.

Dental treats: Your dog will love these tasty treats while keeping their mouth healthy! Just be sure not to overfeed, as too many treats can lead to obesity.

Check-ups: Keep an eye on their oral health with regular visits to our practice.

🕯️ Who doesn't love the warm glow of a scented Christmas candle? Not only do candles bring a cosy vibe to any room, but they also help set the festive mood. However, candles can be hazardous if you have a curious cat or a fearless dog at home.

To avoid the risk of accidents, injuries, burns and choking, keep candles at a safe distance from your pets and ensure that lit candles are supervised at all times.

Let’s enjoy the glow - safely! wiln

🎄🐾 Did you know? The biggest cause of a Christmas trip to the vet for dogs is chocolate! 🍫

With so many festive treats on the tree and under it, pets can’t resist sniffing them out. From Advent calendars to shiny chocolate coins, there’s no shortage of temptation.

But remember, chocolate is poisonous to dogs and cats due to the stimulant theobromine, which is toxic, especially in dark chocolate.

Symptoms of chocolate poisoning can include:
🤢 Vomiting and diarrhoea
😳 Muscle tremors
⚡ Seizures
wilbu Irregular heartbeat

If you suspect your dog has eaten chocolate and is showing any of these symptoms, contact us immediately.

🎄🌸 Festive plants like mistletoe, holly, poinsettias, and more. While they add cheer to your decor, many of these plants are toxic to pets, so it's important to keep them out of reach of your pets. 🐱🐶

Here's what you need to know:

Mistletoe: This holiday classic contains compounds that can cause nausea, vomiting, and even a drop in heart rate. The berries are particularly dangerous if ingested.

Ivy: Though beautiful, ivy can cause gastrointestinal upset, including drooling, stomach pain, and vomiting if eaten by pets.

Poinsettias: While not as toxic as some other plants, poinsettias can still cause mild symptoms like irritation to the mouth and stomach upset if chewed or swallowed.

Lilies: Extremely dangerous for cats! All parts of the lily plant—flowers, leaves, and even the pollen - can cause severe kidney failure in cats, even with a small amount of ingestion.

🎁 Here's how you can keep your pet safe...

✅ Place plants in high, out-of-reach areas: Ensure that they are well above where your pets can reach.

✅ Be cautious with decorations: Mistletoe and holly are often hung in doorways, but be mindful of pets who may be able to reach them.
wi Watch for symptoms: If you think your pet may have ingested any part of a harmful plant, symptoms can include drooling, vomiting, loss of appetite, or changes in behaviour.

If you think your pet may have ingested parts of any plant that could harm them, please get in touch with us immediately.

Beware of pesky pine needles... 🎄

Whether real or artificial, pine needles can cause some serious issues for our pets.

While they’re not toxic, they can still be dangerous, causing:

😣 Throat irritation – Sharp needles can scratch or irritate the throat if swallowed.

🦶 Stuck in paws – Pine needles can get lodged in your pet’s paws, causing discomfort or injury.

💩 Gastrointestinal issues – If ingested, they can lead to vomiting, diarrhoea, or abdominal discomfort.

⚠️ Choking hazard – Especially for small pets, pine needles can get stuck in their throat or airways, causing choking.

If you’re going for a real tree this year, choose one with low needle drop to reduce the risk for your pet.

If your pet has been playing with or eating pine needles or is showing signs of vomiting, contact us immediately for advice.

Remember, most Christmas trees aren’t toxic to dogs, but chewing or swallowing branches and needles can cause them harm.

Did you know?

While antifreeze is vital to shield your car's engine from severe winter weather, it can put your pets in danger.

Ethylene glycol is a common ingredient in many de-icing products and is highly poisonous if consumed by dogs, cats, birds and wildlife. To make matters worse, animals can find the taste of antifreeze enjoyable, so they lick areas that have been treated and poison themselves.

Signs of poisoning can include being quiet or lethargic, vomiting, unsteadiness, muscle twitching, seizures and collapse. Urgent attention is very important as the results can often be fatal.

We recommend you switch to a pet-safe, propylene glycol-based antifreeze, which is considered less toxic than ethylene glycol-based antifreeze.

Please get in touch with us immediately if you suspect your pet has ingested something they shouldn't have. Also, please consider sharing this post with other pet owners to help prevent more cases of antifreeze poisoning.

🌍 This Week is World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW), and this week's theme is "Educate. Advocate. Act now." Antibiotic resistance is a serious global issue that affects both humans and animals. It's crucial to protect the effectiveness of antibiotics so they can continue to save lives when truly needed. 💊 You can make a difference... 👉 Check your cupboards and fridge for expired or unused pet medications. 👉 Bring any no-longer-needed veterinary medicines to our practice for safe disposal. Together, we can help combat antibiotic resistance and safeguard the health of pets, people, and the planet. Let's #KeepAntibioticsWorking – it's a collective effort, and every small step counts. #AMR #WAAW2024 #AntibioticAmnesty #PetHealth #ProtectOurFuture
