Chocolate 🍫 (toxic to dogs, cats, and small mammals)
Onions, garlic & chives 🧅
Grapes & raisins 🍇
Rich or fatty human foods 🥓

Stick to pet-safe treats and small portions. Happy, healthy pets make the holidays even brighter!

🖤🐾 Shivering can be your dog’s way of telling you they’re cold, anxious, or unwell. Here’s what to do:

🌡️ Check their temperature: Small, short-haired or elderly dogs get cold faster.
🧥 Dog coats help: Especially for short-haired breeds or during walks in freezing weather.
🏡 Keep them cosy: Warm bedding, blankets and limiting time outside in extreme cold can make a big difference.
⚠️ Watch for illness: Persistent shivering, lethargy or weakness could be a sign of something more serious - contact us on 01372 460107.
