Winter is Coming

People think dogs don’t need grooming as much during winter — but regular grooming is actually MORE important in the colder months! 🛁✨

Here’s why:

• Thick winter coats can become matted, trapping moisture and causing skin irritation
• Regular brushing helps remove loose fur and keeps the coat healthy and insulating properly
• Grooming helps spot skin issues, lumps, fleas, or ticks early
• Long fur around paws can collect mud, burrs, and moisture
• Clean, trimmed coats dry faster after rainy walks and help keep your home cleaner too 🐾

We have spots available this week

⚠️ Rat Bait Poisoning Awareness ⚠️

With the current rise in mice and rats, many households are using traps and rat baits around the home. Unfortunately, we are also seeing an increase in pets accidentally ingesting these toxic products, especially our curious furry friends who like to investigate everything! 🐾

What happens if a pet eats rat/mice bait? 🐀
If ingestion has occurred within the last 4 hours, inducing vomiting may help remove the bait before it is absorbed. After this time, vomiting is often no longer effective.

Your veterinarian may recommend blood tests to check your pet’s clotting ability (prothrombin time), as many rat baits interfere with normal blood clotting. If clotting times are affected, treatment may include Vitamin K therapy and ongoing monitoring.

Information your vet will need:
- The product used
- Active ingredient name
- Approximate amount ingested
- Time since ingestion
- Whether other pets may also have had access

Signs to watch for:
- Lethargy
- Weakness
- Coughing or difficulty breathing
- Vomiting
- Pale gums
- Unexplained bruising or bleeding

Without treatment, rat bait poisoning can cause internal bleeding anywhere in the body, which can become life-threatening. Sadly, many pets are not brought to the vet until they are already showing serious clinical signs.

How to keep pets safe:
✔️ Check bait stations regularly
✔️ Keep all baits well out of reach
✔️ Place baits only in areas inaccessible to pets
✔️ Contact your veterinarian immediately if you suspect ingestion

If you think your pet may have eaten rat bait, please don’t wait for symptoms to appear, early treatment can make all the difference. 🐶🐱
