January is 'Walk Your Pet Month' and what a perfect time to start the habit of taking your furry family members out for fresh air and exercise!
AVMA shares fantastic tips on how to keep walks with your pet fun, safe, and productive.

Something to keep in mind when taking your pet on a walk is having an understanding of their vaccination status and the potential environmental risks they may encounter on those walks.
🐾 Dogs can contract diseases from other dogs but also other wildlife or the bodily fluids or f***l matter of animals that have walked the same path as you all. Some diseases have airborne transmission generated when a dog coughs, sneezes, or barks
🐾 They can contract illness from contaminated objects that you may come across on your walk.
If you are concerned your pet may be overdue or not have a vaccination that they need for the environments they are commonly in, give our office a call and one of our team members can discuss this with you and get your pet scheduled.

What better time than the New Year to start the fun, healthy, bonding habit of taking your dog on a walk?! January is 'Walk Your Pet Month'.
AVMA gives great tips on how to safely enjoy this activity. https://www.avma.org/resources-tools/pet-owners/petcare/walking-your-pet
Since we are in the cold weather season, there are certain things to keep in mind before heading out into the chilly weather.
🐾 Different dogs respond to cool and cold temperatures differently. Pay attention to your pet's needs to see if a sweater or jacket may be best for keeping them comfortable and safe. Some pets may be best suited for short walks when we are in colder seasons.
🐾 If you choose to get a sweater or jacket for your pet, make sure it fits them well and is not restrictive to their movement or breathing.
🐾 During the frigid conditions, dog boots can be a great way to protect their feet.
🐾 If your pet shows signs of hypothermia (muscle stiffness, shallow & slow breathing, collapse, etc.), seek veterinary care immediately.

During these cold winter days, make sure you are keeping an eye on your furry family members.
There are many things to keep in mind before taking your pet outside for more than just a bathroom break.
❄ How severe are the weather conditions?
❄ How old is your pet?
❄ Are they fully vaccinated?
❄ What breed are they and can their breed handle cold weather conditions well?
All of these questions can help determine if it is safe for your pet to be outside during winter weather and for how long.

January is 'Walk your Pet Month'. Looking for a New Year's Resolution that you can do with your pet?! Getting them out for some fresh air and exercise can be a great way to bond with your pet and start healthy habits!
The AVMA provides some great tips on getting started with taking your dog out on walks. For their full list of tips on how to keep everyone safe and happy on these adventures, check out this resource: https://www.avma.org/resources-tools/pet-owners/petcare/walking-your-pet.
Here are some highlights:
🐾 Practice training your dog for how to behave and respond on leash
🐾 Start small- If your pet is not used to long walks or new environments, take short walks in these new places to give your pet time to acclimate.
🐾 Take cues from your pet on how they are responding. Especially if this is all new to them, pay attention to how they are interacting with their environment and the exercise. If you worry your pet may be having a medical issue during or after one of your walks, call your local vet right away.
🐾 Obey local leash laws and always be a kind citizen and pick up after your dog and dispose of waste properly.

It's hard to believe that 2025 is just a couple days away!
In preparation for all of the excitement and celebration, make sure to keep your furry family members in mind. The celebrations can involve foods, drinks, and party supplies that are hazards for them as well as anxiety inducing circumstances and noises. If your pet gets anxiety when fireworks happen, they could be a good candidate for some calming medications.
If your pet is current on their exam with one of our doctors and you feel that some calming medications would be best for them as the celebrations kick off, give our office a call TODAY!
Our team can assist you and see if your pet is able to receive these calming medications.
Enjoy the celebrations! We are so grateful for another year with you all as a part of the Candler Veterinary Clinic Family!
