Scratching is a natural behavior for our feline friends but where they choose to scratch can be frustrating. While surgery can seem like the only option there are some alternatives you can try to decrease the less desirable behaviors.

Alternatives:

-Keeping the nails trimmed

-Applying nail caps (such as soft paws)

-Making scratching posts available and attractive by placing catnip or treats around them

-Covering corners of furniture with plastic, aluminum foil or sticky tape temporarily

🎃🍫❌With Halloween right around the corner let’s talk about Chocolate Toxicity! ❌🍫🎃

As Halloween approaches, it's essential for all dog owners to be aware of the potential dangers lurking in those tempting bags of sweets. Chocolate, a Halloween staple, can be highly toxic to our furry friends. Here's what you need to know to keep your dog safe:

🚫 No Chocolate Treats for Fido: Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which are toxic to dogs. Even small amounts can lead to symptoms of chocolate poisoning, including vomiting, diarrhea, rapid breathing, and even seizures.

👁️ Keep Candy Out of Reach: Dogs have a knack for finding treats, so make sure all Halloween candy is stored securely, far away from your dog's access.

🏡 Secure the Trash: After your Halloween festivities, dispose of candy wrappers and leftovers securely. Dogs may be attracted to the scent, and ingesting wrappers can lead to blockages.

🐾 Know the Signs: Be vigilant for any signs of chocolate toxicity, such as restlessness, increased heart rate, panting, trembling, or excessive thirst.

If you suspect your dog has ingested chocolate, call the office at (336)-667-2463.
