A dog not eating can be a serious concern and is something we can help with at Hillview Veterinary Clinic/ Bed & Biscuit.

As the temperatures are dropping, please keep your pets inside!

⛄️Avoid walking early in the morning or late in the evening as temperatures are too low and their little paws will get cold! Wipe them after walks.

⛄️If they are outdoor dogs, make sure there is plenty of shelter and warmth.

⛄️ Check on water bowls as they might freeze.

⛄️ For cats, check your engines before driving as they tend to go in for heat. Tapping the car or making any bit of noise will hopefully get them out.

⛄️ Anti-freeze is poisonous so avoid using around them.

⛄️ Purchase a coat or jumper for your pets during these cold months.

Stay warm!
