Halloween pet safety tips! 👻

🎃No sweeties for your sweetie! Ensure any Halloween treats or chocolate are kept out of reach of your pet
🎃Beware of any Halloween decorations or lights, if ingested could cause intestinal blockages
🎃Do not leave pets unsupervised around candles/jack o lanterns
🎃Do not force your pets to wear costumes if they don't want to, this can be stressful for pets no matter not cute it may be
🎃Walk your dog early in the day as fireworks or bangers could cause them to bolt. Make sure your pet is wearing a collor with up to date tag and keep on a lead
🎃 Create a safe space! Make sure pets have a quiet calm area to retreat to when fireworks start. You can create a den with blankets or your pets crate/carrier. Classical music/TV can help to drown out the noise

We wish all our clients and their gorgeous pets a spooktacular bank holiday weekend 👻🦇🎃

Has your dog been vaccinated against canine cough? 🐶🐾 What is canine cough? Canine cough is the most common infectious disease affecting dogs in Ireland. It is a highly contagious disease and dogs of all ages can be affected. What are the signs of canine cough? As the name suggests, the key sign is a harsh, dry cough – very much like whooping cough in humans. The coughing can last for several weeks and during this time more serious complications, such as pneumonia, may arise. In puppies or older dogs, or where there are other health problems, such complications can occasionally prove fatal. What causes canine cough? The disease can be caused by a number of bacterial and viral agents including Bordetella bronchiseptica and canine parainfluenza virus. How can dogs catch canine cough? It is passed from dog to dog via airborne droplets – a case of ‘coughs and sneezes spreading diseases’ - and by direct nose to nose contact. Any dog that comes into contact with other dogs is potentially at risk. Every dog is at risk, however healthy Canine cough is sometimes referred to as kennel cough, but your pet is equally likely to encounter the disease whenever and wherever dogs gather together. This can include places like parks, grooming parlours, housing estates, walkways and beaches in addition to boarding kennels, shows or training classes. What treatments are available? Little can be done to cure the disease once it’s started; you simply make the dog as comfortable as possible and try to control the cough. In more severe cases, other drugs (e.g., antibiotics) may be needed to control secondary complications. The disease normally subsides after a few weeks, but it will have been an extremely unpleasant experience for both dog and owner. Prevention is better than cure If your dog is likely to be in close contact with other dogs, vaccination against canine cough is recommended. Different types of vaccine are available, including intranasal, oral and injecta
