It’s that time of the year again…….🎄🥂

At last the festive season is here and many of our houses will be full with festive food, drinks , decorations and gifts. Our dogs will be enjoying the festive season with us but there can be lots of hidden dangers for them.

🍇 Christmas pudding/cake and mince pies: Did you know that grapes are toxic to dogs and if eaten, even in a small quantity, can cause severe kidney failure. Grapes include raisins, sultanas and currants and are contained in lots of our festive goodies.

🍫 Chocolate : who doesn't love chocolate......... This contains a chemical called THEOBROMINE which is toxic to dogs and can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, hyperactivity, tremors and seizures. The darker the chocolate the more potent the theobromine becomes so make sure you keep all chocolate well out of your dogs reach

🧄 Onions, garlic, shallots, leeks and chives are all found in our Christmas food. Whether cooked or uncooked these can cause toxicity which can cause vomiting and diarrhoea. This can also cause damage to the red blood cells causing anaemia, this may not be apparent for several days

🥂 Alcohol will be enjoyed by everyone over the festive period but it must be kept out of your dogs reach. They can become wobbly and disorientated and in severe cases there is a risk of low body temperature, low blood sugar and coma.

🍭 Sweets are plentiful during the Christmas period but many of them will contain Xylitol which is an artificial sweetener and highly poisonous to dogs. This can cause the release of insulin in the body resulting in low blood sugar and liver damage. Signs can be rapid or delayed and include vomiting, lethargy, convulsions and coma. It is worth noting that Xylitol can also be found in chewing gum, toothpaste, mouthwash and plenty of our everyday food items

There will be lots of toys, plastic bits and bobs and decorations around the house and your dog will want to investigate and join in the fun. Remember things like this can be swallowed and cause an obstruction.

There are many other food hazards including blue cheese, mushrooms, fatty foods, avocado and some nuts. Some Christmas plants are also toxic to dogs such as Poinsietta, mistletoe, holly and Christmas trees

If your dog has eaten something it shouldn't or is showing any of the above signs it is essential that you seek veterinary help immediately. It is worth making a note of your vets telephone number and the emergency cover so if the worse does happen you are prepared and can make contact with the vets quickly.

Keep an eye on your dog and keep them safe during the festive period

!! URGENT NOTICE !!

There appears to be a scam targeting pet owners and their microchips!

If you receive an email from a company claiming to be Petchip.network - https://petchip.network/petchip-network advising that your pet’s microchip registration has expired and you need to pay for it to be updated then THIS IS A SCAM. PLEASE IGNORE.

The email comes with a link taking you to a page showing your pet’s name, microchip number, your contact phone number and looks very convincing, but please be advised you will never usually have to pay to update your pets details. Charges to register a microchip often only come when you first register your pet.

If you are unsure there is a list of approved databases on gov.uk: Get your dog or cat microchipped - GOV.UK

While we agree keeping microchip details up to date is a vital part of pet ownership, please only use a recognised service to do so.

If your dog shows any signs of gastroenteritis please cancel your appointment and take your dog to the vets once the vet has decided if your dog has gastroenteritis or not we can reschedule your appointment

⚠️⚠️CANINE GASTROENTERITIS OUTBREAK WEST MIDLANDS⚠️⚠️

⚠️We have been made aware that there is Gastroenteritis sweeping the West Midlands area, particularly Coventry. This is a severe stomach bug with main symptoms being diarrhea, lethargic, not eating, vomitting.

⚠️To prevent your dog catching this, please avoid areas where many dogs will have been such as parks, vets, daycares and groomers. Be mindful of what your dog is sniffing and licking as Gastroenteritis is spread via urine, saliva and faeces.

⚠️Be aware of the consistency and frequency of your dogs poo 💩 A small amount of fresh bright red blood might be visible due to straining. If you suspect your dog may have gastroenteritis you will need to see a vet for probiotics and possibly IV fluids. Keep your dog at home to contain the spread. Wash hands thoroughly as well as anywhere they have been such as the car and home with disenfectant. Your dogs Toilet areas outdoors may also need sloshing down with disenfectant. Disenfect shoes that may have walked in areas that could be contaminated by other dogs.

⚠️Please be aware SOME strains of gastroenteritis can be zoonotic meaning they can spread between other species of animal including humans!

NB⚠️⚠️⚠️ WE WERE INFORMED BY A VETERINARY CENTRE WHO HAVE SEEN A HUGE WAVE OF CASES THIS WEEK! Not google.

Unfortunately it's foxtail season again 😞 Foxtail plants are a weed-type grass that can cause serious problems for animals!
Ear infections, nosebleeds/rhinitis, pyothorax, abscesses and tetanus are just SOME of the serious issues that can come from these little guys! If you notice your pet repeatedly sneezing, pawing at their ears, coughing or acting uncomfortable, these could be signs of a possible foxtail and should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Remember, if it’s too hot for your hands or your bare feet, then it’s too hot for their paw pads! ⚠️

If you’re unsure whether it’s okay to let your pet go for a walk on pavements, a simple way to test the temperature is by holding your bare skin on the tarmac for five seconds ⏱️

If you find it painful, then your pet will find it painful to walk on!

To protect your pet, it’s best to avoid walks during the hottest part of the day, which is usually between 8am and 6pm. If you can't safely exercise your dog, missing a day won't hurt.
