Only a week away from Halloween! 👻 Here are a few tips to keep from having a spooky night (or next day) with your furry friends!

1. Keep all candy, especially chocolate and anything with xylitol (sugar substitute), out of reach! These are toxic to pets. 🍫

2. Black Cat Protection: Thinking of letting your black cat roam free? Consider keeping them inside for a few days around Halloween. They can be targeted for mischief. 🐈‍⬛

3.Costume Caution: Skip costumes with small choking hazards or that restrict movement and vision. Opt for comfy bandanas or tags instead! 🤡

4.Pumpkins: While pumpkins aren't poisonous, large chunks can cause blockages. Keep them out of playful paws' reach. 🎃

5.Avoid frantic escapes! Keep your pet away from the door when
answering for trick-or-treaters. 🏡

Let's make Halloween a happy and safe time for everyone!
And don't forget to spread the word by sharing this post to raise awareness about Halloween safety tips.

WE WILL BE OPEN 8AM-5PM ON 10/31 AND 11/1 SHOULD YOUR PET NEED TO BE SEEN! Please call (207)324-4683

As we near the end of the week, we owe a huge shout out to a very special group of people at Down Maine.

A few have seen many of our patients grow from puppies and kittens to the elderly critters that stroll in with gray on their face, and we hope the rest get to experience that as well!

We quite literally, could not do it without them.

Happy National Veterinary Technicians Week 🐾 ❤️

Summer fun awaits! At Down Maine Veterinary Clinic, we want to ensure our furry friends stay cool and beat the heat.
➡️ Hydration: Always ensure your dog has access to fresh, cool water.
➡️ Exercise: Walk your dog during cooler parts of the day, usually early morning or late evening.
➡️ Paw Care: Hot surfaces can burn paws. Test surfaces with your hand; if it's too hot for you, it's too hot for them. 🐾
➡️ Sun Protection: Dogs, especially those with short hair, white fur, and pink skin, can get sunburned. Consult with us about pet-safe sunscreen!

Remember, the warmth of summer can be deceiving. What feels like a comfortable day to us can be dangerously hot for our pets, especially inside a car. On a sunny day, even at just 72°F outside, a car's interior can heat up to 90°F within 20 minutes, putting pets at risk of heatstroke. Symptoms to watch for include heavy panting, lethargy, excessive drooling, and dark-colored gums.

If you ever suspect your dog is suffering from heat-related distress, contact us immediately at (207) 324-4683. Stay cool and have a paw-some summer!
