Holiday cheer is in the air—but let’s keep it safe for our pets!
Festive decorations, twinkling lights, and shiny ornaments can all be hazards for curious pets. Think climbing cats and toppled trees, or a pup chewing on light cords.
Decorations aren’t the only concern. Holiday plants like mistletoe, holly, and poinsettias are toxic to cats and dogs. Stick to faux greenery or keep them out of reach.
Holiday treats can be tempting for pets, but many seasonal foods like chocolate, raisins, and latke are dangerous.
Check out this full guide on holiday pet safety—because festive fun is better without an emergency vet visit! 🐶❤️ https://pbxx.it/Ta0oxY

Sharing this again…

Locally in the next couple days we have a forecast of LOTS of rain and wind. One forecast we have seen is talking about the possibility of up to 6 inches of rain in 36 hours!! Although it won’t be a particularly cold system, the rain and the amount of rain can be dangerous for your pets.

If your pups MUST remain outside during this time, create a safe and dry place for them to take cover, especially at night. Don’t assume that because your dog has a nice thick undercoat that it can’t get wet or cold. If you don’t already have one, get a doghouse or some kind of shelter. Turn the opening away from the wind and DO NOT put blankets or beds in the doghouse. They can get wet and freeze, and there won’t be any warmth there. Instead get a bale of STRAW, not hay, and stuff the shelter full. Don’t worry, your dog can push its way into the straw and snuggle up. Straw is hollow and will help your dog maintain body heat in the cold. It also won’t mold as easily or quickly as hay.

There are also some hard plastic heating pads that work great and are waterproof. Check Amazon or Chewy for these.

Stay warm, stay dry, stay safe and keep your pets the same.

Advice for this colder, wet weather we are having….

🚨🚨 It’s wet and it’s cold out there. As the rain continues please be mindful that horses can become hypothermic.

We see this in senior and underweight horses and in horses not fed enough forage to fight the cold. Using rain sheets and feeding additional hay through the night can help prevent hypothermia. The stress of hypothermia can induce colic. (Do not blanket a wet horse, make sure they are dry first).

Heat loss greater than heat production equals hypothermia. The normal body (core) temperature in a mature horse is 99.5-101.5° F. Any temperature below 97° F. is considered hypothermia in horses. In humans, hypothermia is defined as a drop in core temperature below 35° C (95° F).

We often see horses lying down and or shivering when they are suffering from hypothermia. Sometimes an older horse cannot get up.

An effective warming method is non-strenuous exercise, like hand walking. Surface (convective) rewarming can be used as an adjunct to core rewarming through the use of forced hot air, heat lamps, heating pads, blankets and protecting the the horse from the wind. If possible, take the horse to a small barn/building and heat it with a forced-air heater. The warm air will help dry the coat without touching it, and the horse will inhale warm air to help in core rewarming. Vigorous rubbing should never be used for surface rewarming because it can damage frozen cells.

Careful handling of a hypothermic horse is extremely important to help prevent cell damage and heart dysfunction (arrhythmia/heart attack). Please call us if you suspect your horse is hypothermic. 541-636-1191
