As the weather cools down and we embrace all the cozy autumn vibes, it's important to remember that Fall can present some unique hazards for our furry friends. Here are a few tips to keep your pets safe and healthy during the season! 🍂🐶🐱

Keep Them Warm: While we love those crisp autumn days, the drop in temperature can be tough on our pets—especially senior pets or those with thin coats. Consider a cozy sweater or blanket to keep them comfortable.

Beware of Toxic Plants: Mums, acorns, and some other fall plants are toxic to pets. Keep them out of reach to avoid any accidental poisoning.

Paw Care: Falling leaves, wet conditions, and cold pavement can irritate your pet’s paws. Check their paws regularly for debris, and wipe them down after walks to prevent any buildup.

Pumpkin Precautions: While pumpkin is great for your pet's digestion (in moderation!), beware of sugary or spiced pumpkin treats meant for humans—they can be harmful!

Football Parties and Halloween leftovers: Keep human foods and Halloween candy away from pets! Fatty foods and chocolate can be dangerous and cause GI upset, and some candy can contain artificial sweeteners like xylitol that is toxic to pets.

Increased Wildlife Activity: Autumn is the time when wildlife (like skunks and raccoons) is more active. Keep your pet on a leash to avoid any encounters with wild animals or dangerous plants.

Check Your Heating System: If you're turning on your furnace for the first time, make sure it's pet-safe and free of any dust or allergens that could affect your furry friend's respiratory system. Change the filter beforehand for everyone's comfort and safety.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns about your pet’s health this fall, don’t hesitate to give us a call! We’re here to help keep your pet safe and happy all season long. 🐾❤️
