👻 Halloween is fun for us, but it can be a bit scary for our pets!🎃
Here are some safety tips to keep your furry friends safe this spooky season:

👻 Choose pet-friendly costumes – Make sure costumes aren’t too tight, and avoid anything that covers their eyes or restricts movement.
🎃 No Candy for Pets!!! – Keep candy and holiday foods out of reach. Several common candy ingredients and packaging products can be dangerous to pets.
💀 Secure decorations – Make sure decorations are safe and out of reach. Curious pets might chew on cords or knock over candles.
🧙‍♀️ Keep them indoors – With all the excitement, pets can get spooked. Make sure they’re in a quiet, secure space if trick-or-treaters are visiting.

The WesVet Team is wishing you and your pets a safe and happy Halloween! 🎃🐾

Teams that learn together, deworm together! 🪱👨‍🏫 Dr. Hays led a Lunch & Learn on intestinal parasites, helping our team stay sharp and up to date so every patient gets the best care possible! At WesVet, we’re always expanding our knowledge to tackle whatever challenges come our way 🩺📚

Intestinal parasites are more common than many people think! Some of the most frequent ones we see in dogs and cats include:

🪱Roundworms: Can cause bloating, diarrhea, and weight loss—especially in puppies and kittens.
🪱Hookworms: These blood-sucking parasites can lead to anemia, weakness, and dark stools.
🪱Tapeworms: Often transmitted by fleas, they show up as small, white segments near the tail or in stool.
🪱 Whipworms: These worms live in the large intestine and can cause chronic diarrhea and weight loss.
🪱 Coccidia: Tiny parasites that infect the intestines, leading to diarrhea, especially in young or immunocompromised pets.
🏞️ Giardia: A microscopic parasite that causes diarrhea, often picked up from contaminated water.

The best way to protect your pets? Monthly parasite prevention! Regular deworming and f***l testing also help us catch any sneaky infections early on. With continuous learning and a focus on preventive care, we’re proud to keep your pets happy and healthy all year round! 💙🐾
