Halloween's creeping up fast, and between candy bowls, costumes, and a steady stream of trick-or-treaters at the door, it's a lot for pets to take in. A few simple precautions go a long way toward keeping the night fun instead of stressful. 🎃

Swipe through for some quick safety reminders before the spooky season kicks off! 👻🐾

🌡As temperatures drop, rodents start looking for a way indoors, and so do the poisons meant to keep them out. Here's the catch: whatever makes rodenticide appealing to a mouse or rat often makes it appealing to pets too, so accidental ingestion is more common than people think.

There's also a secondary risk: a pet that catches and eats a rodent that's ingested poison but hasn't succumbed yet can become poisoned themselves, even if they never touched the bait directly. 🐀

If you ever suspect your pet got into some (directly or otherwise), don't wait it out, call us or an emergency clinic right away.

It's Adopt a Dog Month! If you've been thinking about adding a dog to your household, this is a good nudge to stop by your local shelter or rescue. There are plenty of dogs out there use waiting for someone to notice them. 🐾

Adopting doesn't just add a pet to your life, it gives a dog a real shot at a good one.

🎉This week is all about our vet techs. They're the ones running labs, calming nervous patients, remembering the little details that make a visit easier, and somehow keeping the whole day moving.

If there's a Waconia Veterinary Clinic tech who's made a difference for you or your pet, give them a shout-out in the comments. They deserve to hear it.
