🌸Foxgloves look pretty but can be deadly. The most commonly affected animals we see with foxglove poisoning are calves, probably due to their curious nature.
🌸All parts of the plants are toxic and spraying the plant kills it but does not make it any less toxic.
🌸Symptoms of poisonings in calves are rapid, labored breathing, diarrhoea and/or sudden death. Fence off the plants or pull them out.
🚨🚨If you have animals affected, it is important to carefully shift them out of the paddock where the foxgloves are. Do not run them or stress them and call the vets

Keep Your Pets Safe in the Summer Heat! 🌞🐾

As temperatures rise, it’s important to keep your furry friends cool and protected. Heatstroke, hot cars, and burnt paws are real dangers during the warmer months. Here’s how to keep your pets safe:

🚗 Never leave pets in a hot car – even for a few minutes! Cars can heat up quickly and become life-threatening for pets.
👣 Watch out for hot pavement – streets and sidewalks can burn sensitive paws. Stick to walking in the early morning or late evening when it’s cooler.
🌡️ Hydration is key – always provide fresh water and a shady spot to rest.

Let’s make this summer fun and safe for our pets! 🐶🐱
