📢 UPDATE, FRI 21ST NOVEMBER- FLOKI IS HOME ❤️

📢 LOST CAT - 📍HENLEY-ON-THAMES
PLEASE SHARE 💚

In Floki's owner's words ❤️:

'Hi our beloved cat Floki hasn’t been home for 2 weeks. He wears a collar, name tag with number and AirTag. We can see he is still moving around, largely around 20-41 Valley Road so the tag hasn’t come off. I’m worried someone’s been feeding him. He's my daughters cat and despite calling him and looking for him at the locations a few times we can’t find him. If anyone is feeding him pls stop, he is our cat and loved. He is all Grey with a purple collar and silver name tag and AirTag holder. My name and number is on the collar. Thanks Natalie'

🎃 Halloween Pet Safety Alert! 🎃

As we head into Halloween, it's important to be mindful of common toxins that can pose risks to our pets. Here are a few to watch out for:

🌟 Glow sticks
Contain a chemical called dibutyl phthalate, which has an unpleasant taste and can cause drooling, vomiting, and skin irritation if ingested or broken open.

🍫 Chocolate
Contains theobromine, which can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, elevated heart rate, tremors, and even seizures. The darker the chocolate, the more toxic it is to pets.

🍇 Raisins
Contain tartaric acid, which can cause acute kidney injury — even small amounts can be dangerous for dogs.

🍬 Chewing gum
Often contains xylitol, a sugar substitute that can trigger a dangerous drop in blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and potentially liver failure.

🎃 Pumpkins
While plain, cooked pumpkin is safe in moderation, ingesting raw or moldy pumpkins can cause gastrointestinal upset or expose pets to tremorgenic mycotoxins, which may lead to tremors or seizures.

🕯️ Candles
Not toxic, but if swallowed, they can cause a gastrointestinal obstruction, and hot wax can lead to burns.

🐾 Tip: Keep Halloween treats and decorations out of your pet’s reach, and contact your vet immediately if you suspect they've eaten something they shouldn’t have.

Stay safe and spooky! 👻🐶🐱
