As temperatures drop, remember that most dogs feel the cold just like we do—especially puppies, seniors, small breeds, and short-haired dogs.

Keep walks a little shorter, dry their paws after being outside, and watch for shivering or reluctance to move. A cosy coat can make a big difference for sensitive pups! 🐶💙

❄️Winter Safety Notice for Cat Owners ❄️

As de-icing products become more common during cold weather, we want to remind pet owners that many traditional de-icers contain chemicals that can be harmful to cats. Exposure can occur through paw contact, skin irritation, or grooming after walking across treated surfaces.

To reduce risk:
• Use pet-safe de-icing products whenever possible
• Wipe your cat’s paws and coat after outdoor exposure
• Monitor for signs of irritation, vomiting, or lethargy

See below for more information⬇🐱

Learn how to spot and prevent antifreeze poisoning in cats. Always call a vet immediately if you suspect they've been poisoned.

🎆 Fireworks & Your Pets: Keeping Them Calm and Safe 🎇

Here are some tips to help your pets feel more comfortable during fireworks season:
🐾 Create a safe space – Set up a cosy area with their favourite blanket, bed, and toys. Close curtains and windows to muffle noise and flashes.
🔊 Soothing sounds – Play calming music, white noise, or keep the TV on to help mask the bangs.
🏠 Keep them indoors– Walk dogs before dark and ensure cats are inside well before fireworks start.
🆔 Double-check ID – Make sure microchips and ID tags are up to date, just in case your pet gets spooked and runs off.

🍂 Beware of Acorns! They’re Not Safe for Dogs 🍂

As the leaves fall, many of our walks are filled with crunchy acorns — but did you know these little nuts can be toxic to dogs? Acorns contain tannins, which can cause serious tummy upset, vomiting, diarrhoea, and even kidney or liver damage if eaten in large amounts. The hard shells can also pose a choking hazard or cause intestinal blockages, especially in smaller dogs.

If your dog eats an acorn, call us right away — even a small amount can be risky. Watch for signs like vomiting, drooling, loss of appetite, or abdominal pain.

Stay safe this fall and enjoy the season without the acorn worries!

🍁🐾 📞 If you’re concerned your dog might’ve eaten an acorn, contact us on 1606 333450. We’re here to help!
