With Halloween approaching next week we've put together some tips to help you keep your pet safe. Always keep sweets and treats out of paws' reach, and don't let your pets near pumpkins with lit candles inside. Swap out the real candles for battery operated ones to minimise the risk. 🎃

If your pet gets nervous around unfamiliar visitors, maybe try to leave the treats outside for trick or treaters to help themselves or create a cosy space away from your front door for your pet to relax in.

Kennel cough is a highly infectious disease in dogs, which can be spread by just touching noses or sharing a water bowl with an infected dog. The main symptom is the cough, however they may also be a bit sneezy or have a runny nose.
