Post-Holiday Reminder: Watch for Hidden Hazards

After the holidays, keep an eye out for leftovers and decorations your pet might find “interesting.” Chocolate, grapes, and even snow globes can be toxic!

Clean up early so your furry friend starts the new year healthy and safe.

If your pet’s skin seems flaky or itchy this winter, it could be the low humidity. A humidifier, omega-3 supplements, or a moisturizing shampoo (vet-approved, of course) can make all the difference.

Great information!

Sidewalk salt, snowmelt chemicals, and ice buildup can cause painful burns and cracks. 🧊 Ouch! Protect those paws with booties, pet-safe de-icers, and a post-walk paw wipe. 🧦🐾
Their feet carry them everywhere. Let’s take care of them.

The holiday season is full of light, warmth, and time with family - and for many of us, that includes our pets. At Haarstad Veterinary Dermatology, we know that pets are family, whether they’re curling up under your tree at home or greeting visitors at your office. But the same festive decorations...

The holidays can be rough on pets with allergies - think scented candles, pine needles, and new treats. If your dog or cat gets itchy or red-eyed this time of year, it might not be the weather -it could be the decorations!

Ever catch your dog staring at you and wonder what’s going on in their head? It’s not just love… it’s science

When dogs make eye contact with their humans, both of you get a boost of oxytocin - the same hormone that bonds parents to babies.

So the next time your pup locks eyes with you? They’re saying “I love you” in their own, undeniable way.

Drop a 🐾 if your dog gives the best staring affection!

The holidays can be hectic for pets! Guests, new foods, and dry indoor air can lead to stress-related skin flare-ups. Keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible -and their treats simple and safe.

Pets can get frostbite, too!

Ears, paws, and tails are most at risk - especially for short-haired breeds. Limit outdoor time, dry them off after walks, and always watch for pale or cold skin.
