Halloween dangers to be aware of for your pets!

🎃 Halloween Pet Safety Alert! 🎃

As we head into Halloween, it's important to be mindful of common toxins that can pose risks to our pets. Here are a few to watch out for:

🌟 Glow sticks
Contain a chemical called dibutyl phthalate, which has an unpleasant taste and can cause drooling, vomiting, and skin irritation if ingested or broken open.

🍫 Chocolate
Contains theobromine, which can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, elevated heart rate, tremors, and even seizures. The darker the chocolate, the more toxic it is to pets.

🍇 Raisins
Contain tartaric acid, which can cause acute kidney injury — even small amounts can be dangerous for dogs.

🍬 Chewing gum
Often contains xylitol, a sugar substitute that can trigger a dangerous drop in blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and potentially liver failure.

🎃 Pumpkins
While plain, cooked pumpkin is safe in moderation, ingesting raw or moldy pumpkins can cause gastrointestinal upset or expose pets to tremorgenic mycotoxins, which may lead to tremors or seizures.

🕯️ Candles
Not toxic, but if swallowed, they can cause a gastrointestinal obstruction, and hot wax can lead to burns.

🐾 Tip: Keep Halloween treats and decorations out of your pet’s reach, and contact your vet immediately if you suspect they've eaten something they shouldn’t have.

Stay safe and spooky! 👻🐶🐱

🌙 As the Days Grow Shorter — A Time for Reflection

As autumn deepens and we move into the darker months of the year, many of us find ourselves reflecting more deeply on life, love, and the companions who’ve walked beside us.

Among the most difficult and emotional questions we face as pet owners is this one:
“Should I stay with my pet during euthanasia?”

A recent article written by Dawn Murray BCAh, Founder of the Association of Pet Bereavement Counsellors, revisits this very topic with clarity and compassion.

Viral posts have circulated for years claiming that pets “search for their owners” in their final moments, implying that anyone who couldn’t stay was a coward or unloving.
Dawn reminds us that this is not only untrue; it is deeply harmful.

💬 “No one should ever be made to feel guilt or shame for the choices made in moments of heartbreak.”

As pet bereavement counsellors, we understand there are many reasons why someone might not be present at the end: illness, distance, trauma, or circumstances beyond their control.

Love is not measured by presence in one moment, but by a lifetime of care, companionship, and devotion.

💜 Truths to Remember:

🟣Your pet did not die “looking” for you.
🟣Your pet knew they were loved.
🟣Veterinary teams provide comfort, safety, and compassion in those final moments.
🟣You are not a coward for finding it too painful — you are human.

This reflection is a gentle reminder to treat ourselves and others with kindness.
If you’ve ever faced this decision, please know, you did what you could, with love in your heart.

💜 If you’re struggling with these thoughts or feelings, you don’t have to face them alone.

Our Registered and Accredited Pet Bereavement Counsellors are here to offer understanding, comfort, and guidance.
We know what it means to love deeply, to lose, and to heal.

👉 Visit our page to connect with a counsellor near you, or reach out for confidential support and reassurance.
You deserve to be heard and supported, with compassion.
