🎃👻 Halloween is Creeping Up!🐾🍬

With Halloween just around the corner next weekend, we wanted to share a few spooky reminders to keep your furry family members safe! 🧡

While Halloween treats are delicious for us, some can be downright frightening for our pets!

🍫 Chocolate – Toxic to dogs and cats, especially dark chocolate and baking chocolate.

🍬 Sugar-Free Candy & Gum– Some contain xylitol (also called birch sugar), which can be extremely dangerous for dogs.

🍇 Raisins– Even small amounts can cause serious kidney damage in dogs.

🍭 Candy Wrappers*– Foil and plastic wrappers can cause choking or intestinal blockages if swallowed.

🎃 Keep the Candy Bowl Out of Paw's Reach! Curious noses and sneaky paws can get into trouble faster than you think!

And don't forget, Halloween can be a little overwhelming for some pets. With doorbells ringing, costumes everywhere, and excited trick-or-treaters, make sure your pets have a quiet, comfortable place to relax.

If you suspect your pet has eaten something toxic, contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary hospital right away. Don't wait for symptoms to appear!

From all of us at Tamarack Veterinary Clinic, we wish you and your furry little monsters a safe, happy, and wonderfully spooky Halloween! 🐈‍⬛🐶🧡

Happy Howl-o-ween! 🎃🐾
