At this time of year, we receive lots of enquiries regarding acorns and oak trees (Quercus species). We have seen an influx in calls this year as 2025 has been declared as a Mast Year. This is when some trees produce a large amount of fruit, seeds and nuts, and happens every few years.

Ingestion of acorns by dogs is common during the autumn months. Following a large, one off ingestion of acorns, vomiting and diarrhoea may occur in dogs, both of which may be bloody. Lethargy, abdominal tenderness and inappetence can also be seen and there is also the risk of gastrointestinal obstruction. There have been reports of kidney and liver damage following substantial or repeat ingestion of both acorns and the plant itself, a scenario more commonly seen in horses and ruminants.

Oak toxicity predominantly affects grazing species such as cattle, horses and sheep, but it can affect dogs and cats too.

📞If you suspect your pet has been exposed to oak, call the Animal PoisonLine on 01202 509000 for advice. Veterinary professionals can call VPIS on 020 7305 5055.

IMPORTANT REMINDER
We know that autumn is definitely here: the nights are arriving earlier, mornings are brisk, the wind cuts through a thin jumper.

But we are still having some beautiful sunny weather in the area like we had this past weekend. Which means excellent days for walks, but when left in direct sunlight, the cars are still HOT!

We've had reports of near misses this weekend of heat stroke from hot cars, so please still be vigilant. If both you and the sun are going to be out, please please please don't leave your dog in the car! Your beautiful autumn day out can still very easily turn into tragedy.

With the heatwave in full swing and set to last over the weekend we wanted to make owners aware of the signs of heatstroke and let you know what to do if you suspect your dog has heatstroke.

⚠️Don't take the risk. A dog has never died from missing a walk, but a dog has died from one walk in the heat ⚠️

Signs of heatstroke include -
🌡 Excessively panting
🌡 Collapse
🌡 Vomiting and/or Diarrhoea
🌡 Lethargy
🌡 Dark red or pale gums
🌡 Staggering/uncoordinated movements
🌡Seizures

If you are worried your pet may have heatstroke, do not place them in a hot car and drive to the vets. Firstly cool your pet by soaking them with cold running water; this does not have to be freezing, as long as it is colder than your pet. Ensure your car is cool before driving to the practice.

*Do not wrap them in wet towels as this can trap heat in*

💧 WET THEN VET 💧

How can heatstroke be avoided ❓
🐾 Only walk your dogs early morning or evening to avoid the high temperatures.
🐾 Always ensure they have access to water and shade.
🐾 Choose to walk in areas where they have access to water to cool off.
🐾 Use cooling matts or vests
🐾 Don't leave your dog in hot cars, even with the windows down!
🐾 Don't let your pet lie in direct sunlight for prolonged periods. This includes indoors!

If you are worried your pet may have heatstroke, please contact your local branch AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!☎️
