🎅🏻 Christmas tip🎄

Christmas presents lying under the tree can be too tempting for our four legged friends - especially if the gift is edible!
It’s best to keep wrapped gifts out of paws reach, as wrapping paper can cause a blockage in your dogs tummy if too much is eaten. 🎁

🎅🏻 Christmas tip🎄

The most common types of Christmas trees including pine, fir and spruce are NOT highly toxic to dogs, BUT oils they produce and the pine needles that drop from the tree can pose a risk. Not only can the sharp pine needles get stuck in your animals paws, they can also cause a mild stomach upset or blockage if eaten. 🎄

🎅🏻 Christmas tip🎄

At this time of year we know it isn’t always possible to walk your dog when it is light. The days seem short and the sun sets earlier. 🌙

Luckily there are things we can do when it’s dark to maximise safety for both us and our pets.

These things include:

🐾 Wearing reflectives (both you and your pet).
🐾 Stick to familiar or well lit routes.
🐾 Wear bright, glow in the dark or fluorescent clothing.
🐾 Ensure your pets microchip details are up to date.
🐾 Plan your route before leaving.
🐾 Stay alert.
🐾 Take a torch with you.
🐾 Ensure you have a mobile phone with charge.
🐾 Let someone know where you are going and if possible don’t go alone.

🌟 We now have a selection of reflective products for sale available in the practice 🌟
