It's Christmas Eve! 🎄

As we prepare for Santa's arrival, please be careful when leaving out a special treat plate to ensure your pets don’t tuck in, too!

Say hello to the adorable Ivan! 🐶

This sweet three-year-old has been feeling a little off recently, with some pesky bacteria causing trouble in his ear. But guess what? Ivan was really brave when he came to our Mirfield practice for his ear flush!

The procedure went perfectly, and we sent him home with some special meds to help him bounce back to his playful self.

Our Mirfield team is absolutely smitten with Ivan, especially when he brings along his favourite Watermelon doughnut for some extra comfort. 🍉🍩❤️‍

We can’t wait for his recheck – we’re sure he’ll be back to his happy, wagging self in no time! 🐾✨

🎉🎄 Did you know? Christmas crackers can be dangerous for your pets! 🐾

While the bang of a cracker may be fun for us, most pets find it terrifying. But that’s not the only danger! After the pop, small prizes and debris can end up all over the floor—tempting curious dogs to pick them up and swallow them. 🤔

These tiny treasures may look harmless, but they can be a serious choking hazard or cause dangerous internal blockages. 🚫

🎁 Top tip: If you're cracking open those festive goodies, try to keep them out of reach from your pet and do a quick tidy-up afterwards to prevent any accidents.

🎄🐾 Thinking of sharing your leftovers with your pet? Think again!

The holiday season is all about sharing, but when it comes to food, remember: some treats can be harmful (or even life-threatening) for your pet!

While it’s tempting to give your canine companion or feline friend a taste of your delicious leftovers, certain foods can cause serious health issues.

Here’s what to avoid:
🚫 Toxic foods: Grapes, raisins, sultanas, currants, chocolate, alcohol, and onions can be dangerous (or deadly) to pets. If your pet eats any of these, contact us immediately!

🚫 Fatty foods: Sausages, crisps, and fatty leftovers (like potatoes cooked in duck or goose fat) can cause upset stomachs and digestive problems.

Instead, it's best to stick to your pet’s regular diet. Consider giving them a vet-approved treat to include them in the festive fun—without the risks! 🐾

🎄🐾 Hosting this Christmas?

The holiday season is full of joy, but it can also be a stressful time for your pets. With all the guests, decorations, and changes in routine, your pets may start to feel overwhelmed. 🐶😿

Here are some tips to help keep your pet calm and comfortable while you host:

🛏️ Create a quiet space: Set up a peaceful area away from the hustle and bustle where your pet can retreat to if they feel stressed.

🍽️🚶‍♂️Maintain routines: Try to keep feeding and walking schedules consistent to help your pet feel more secure.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Introduce guests slowly: Some pets can be wary of strangers. If possible, let them meet guests gradually and always supervise interactions.

😰 Watch for signs of stress: Look out for panting, pacing, or hiding. If your pet is showing signs of anxiety, give them a break from the chaos.

🦴 Avoid excessive treats: Too many holiday treats can upset your pet’s stomach and make them feel uncomfortable. Stick to their regular diet.

🕯️ 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! 🎅

🎄🐾 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
💓 Irregular heartbeat

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

🎄🐾 Dog Christmas Jumpers: Trendy, but are they safe?

Christmas jumpers for dogs have become increasingly popular, especially with the influence of social media. While these festive outfits may look charming, it’s important to consider your pet’s safety and comfort.

Although they can be adorable, we do not recommend dressing dogs in jumpers or accessories for the following reasons:

❌ Flammable fabrics
❌ Restrictive and noisy materials
❌ Risk of overheating, particularly for dogs with thick fur
❌ Potential choking hazards, such as antlers, bells, or decorations

For dogs who are not accustomed to wearing clothes, these garments can cause discomfort, stress, and even health risks.

Warning signs that your dog may be uncomfortable in a Christmas jumper include:
💨 Panting
🚶‍♂️ Reluctance to move
🏃‍♂️ Pacing

If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to remove the clothing immediately and allow your dog to cool down.

🎄🌸 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.

✅ 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.
