Holiday Foods Your Dog Should Never Eat! 🚫🐾

Some festive treats are a no-go for your pup! Here’s what to keep off their plate:

🍫 Chocolate, Coffee & Caffeine: Can cause vomiting, seizures, or worse. The darker the chocolate, the more dangerous!

🍬 Xylitol (in sugar-free gum & candy): Can lead to liver failure and dangerously low blood sugar.

🥜 Macadamia Nuts: Even a few can cause weakness, vomiting, and tremors.

🍇 Grapes & Raisins: Toxic to dogs and can cause kidney failure.

🧄 Garlic, Onions & Chives: Harmful to red blood cells, leading to anemia.

🍺 Alcohol: Just a little can cause serious issues like breathing trouble or coma.

🍞 Yeast Dough: Can cause painful gas or even life-threatening bloat.

👩‍⚕ If your dog accidentally ingested any of these snacks, call the vet immediately if there are signs of distress.

Keep your furry friend safe and stick to dog-friendly treats this holiday season! 🎄🐶✨

What’s the Deal with Catnip? 🐱🌿

Catnip (aka Nepeta cataria) is an herb from the mint family that can send your kitty into a playful frenzy - or a blissful nap! 😻

🧠 Why Do Cats Love It?
Catnip releases nepetalactone, an oil that mimics feline pheromones. This triggers behaviors like affection, playfulness, or pure relaxation.

🍼 Kittens & Catnip
Kittens under 6 months usually don’t react. Once they’re older, let the fun begin!

🍽️ Is It Safe to Eat?
Yep! Cats can munch on small amounts, but too much can upset their tummy.

🌱 Fresh vs. Dried
Fresh catnip is stronger than dried, so a little goes a long way!

Keep it fun and safe - catnip is a treat, not a feast! 🐾

Holiday Treats: What’s Safe for Your Cat? 🐱🎄

Sharing holiday food with your kitty? Think twice! Here's a quick guide to keep them safe and happy:

🍗 Skip the Meat Scraps: Table meats are packed with spices and salt. Instead, treat your cat to plain, protein-rich cat treats!

🎃 No Pumpkin Pie: Spices in pie fillings are a no-go. Mix a little pure pumpkin puree into their kibble instead for a tummy-friendly snack.

🍖 Pass on Gravy: Gravy = onions, garlic, and flour (yikes!). Opt for homemade bone broth - hydrating and nutritious!

🧀 Say No to Cheese: Cats are usually lactose intolerant. Try grain- and dairy-free “cheesy” cat treats instead.

Keep your cat’s holidays safe, healthy, and purr-fectly festive! And ALWAYS chat to your vet before considering ANY new treats or foods for your pets! 🧡🐾

⁉ Should you feed your dog before or after exercise?

Recently one of the Cat&Dogsure team members saw a dog lose their breakfast on an early morning exercise walk.

This posed an important topic to broach: Feeding dogs before or after walks.

❗👉 First Step: ALWAYS talk to your vet about your pet’s health, feeding and exercise routine.

The general consensus is that it’s best to feed your dog after their walk but not immediately afterward. Waiting 30-45 minutes allows them to cool down and prevents digestive issues.

Feeding your dog right before exercise can increase the risk of bloat or GDV (Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus), a serious, life-threatening condition more common in large breeds.

If you need to feed them before a walk, allow at least an hour for digestion before heading out. Keeping a consistent feeding schedule - typically twice a day, 10-12 hours apart - helps maintain their digestive health and energy levels.

🐶 Every dog is different, so consider their size, age, activity level, and health needs.

👩‍⚕ And again: ALWAYS consult your vet if you're unsure about the best approach for your furry friend’s feeding and exercise habits! 🐾

Meet the "adventure cat" lifestyle! 🐱😺

Cats aren’t just for lounging - some cats are open to exploring the outdoors safely with a harness and leash, and even specially designed carriers (that you can glam up to fit your cat's cool look).

Training your cat to go for walks is a great way to give them exercise, mental stimulation, and a taste of the wild! 🐾

Why are leashes a good idea?

🐱 Keeps cats safe from injuries, fights, and outdoor risks.
🌳 Provides the mental and physical benefits of exploration.
🙀 Helps avoid indoor life issues like boredom and obesity.

With the right gear (think snug harnesses, leashes, and yummy rewards) and some patience, any cat with the right temperament can become an adventure cat! 🧡

Start slow, indoors first, and let your feline friend build confidence. Always chat to your vet and ask for the best possible advice during this journey. 👩‍⚕

Then, when all is in order and training at home is successful, you can head outside for safe, fun adventures with your feline explorer! 🐈⛰

Also, be sure your cat has Pet Cover BEFORE hitting the adventure trail with your feline buddy. We invite you to view our Google 5-Star rated Pet Cover plans right over here 👉 https://catanddogsure.co.za

How Do Cats Keep Cool in Hot Weather? ☀🐱

Cats have clever ways of staying cool. They groom themselves more often in the heat, using evaporating saliva to create a cooling effect.

🥵 But when temperatures soar, your feline may need extra help staying comfortable.

Here are some tips to keep your cat cool and happy this summer:

#1. Switch Their Bed
Provide a summer-friendly bed made of lightweight materials or a cooling mat to help them stay comfy.

#2. Use Cat-Friendly Sun Cream
Cats, especially those with short or white fur, can get sunburned. Apply cat-specific sun cream to sensitive areas like their ears and nose.

#3. Circulate Cool Air
Set up fans or air conditioning, and keep blinds closed to minimize indoor heat. Just ensure fans and cords are out of your cat’s reach.

#4. Keep Them Hydrated
Encourage your cat to drink more by offering fresh water in multiple spots, using running taps, or even flavoring their water.

#5. Create Ice Packs
Wrap a frozen water bottle in a towel and place it in their favorite lounging spot for a refreshing cool-down.

#6. Provide Shady Outdoor Spots
If your cat loves the garden, set up shaded areas with trees, bushes, or a makeshift hideout for them to relax.

#7. Monitor Self-Grooming
Extra grooming is normal in the heat. However, if you notice signs of overheating like drooling or lethargy, consult your vet.

#8. Remove Uneaten Food
Only serve wet food at feeding times and promptly remove leftovers to prevent bacteria growth in hot weather.

#9. Limit Outdoor Time During Heatwaves
Keep outdoor cats inside during the hottest hours (12-2 pm) to protect their paw pads from hot surfaces.

#10. Avoid Hot Areas
Ensure your cat isn’t accidentally trapped in warm areas like conservatories or sheds, as they can overheat quickly.

Keep your cats safe, cool, and comfy this summer! ALWAYS speak to your vet about any health and wellness topics or questions regarding your pets during summer. ☀🐈💛
