Remember winter safety, a sweater maybe needed with our older pets as many have less muscle to keep them warm. And many are walking instead of running around.

Winter Tips for Happy, Safe Paws! 🐾❄️

Winter can be tough on our pets’ paws! Here are some simple ways to keep them safe and comfortable this season:
• Use pet-safe salt on walkways.
• Protect paws with boots, pad covers, or balms.
• Wash their feet after walks to remove salt and ice.
• Keep nails trimmed to improve traction.
• Help them navigate slippery stairs with a harness.

Let’s keep our furry friends happy, healthy, and injury-free all winter long!

Holiday Tips for Senior Pets

The holiday season often brings gatherings and celebrations, but not all pets—especially seniors—enjoy the hustle and bustle. To keep your senior pet happy and safe, make sure they have a quiet, comfortable space to retreat to when things get noisy. Whether it’s a cozy room or a tucked-away corner, this safe spot should be away from loud music, crowds, and tempting foods that could be harmful to them.

Many senior pets prefer a calm environment over the excitement of a big party. Respect their comfort by letting them choose whether to join the festivities or relax in their safe space. This way, your furry friend can enjoy the holidays stress-free, and you can have peace of mind knowing they’re safe and content.

I wanted to send a huge thank you to the Halifax Kennel Club for allowing me time to speak to there members about Pet Hospice and end of life care. Halifax Kennel Club
The picture below is of Jake my first Italian greyhound who I was highly involved with in the Halifax Kennel Club. We did obedience,
Rally and the drill team visiting local seniors around HRM. This group was definitely a help in making me the vet I am today.

To help your furry friend boots can help but not every dog will like them. Alternatives: runner mats or yoga mats, toe grips, stick on pads.
