🕷🕸Happy Halloween 🕸🕷

Top Tips for Keeping Your Pet Happy and Safe This Halloween

🎃Ensure you walk your dog before it gets dark or consider engaging activities that can tire them out safely indoors, such as food toys, training sessions, or search games.
🎃Stick to your pets usual routine and prepare distractions to keep them content. Consider using a door or stair gate to separate your pet from the door if they are comfortable with this.
🎃It’s best to prevent your pet from greeting visitors, as trick-or-treaters are often unfamiliar children in costumes which can be confusing or frightening.
🎃If your pet is particularly anxious about visitors, consider placing a sign on your door that says, “Nervous pet. Please do not knock. Take treats from the box.” You can leave a box of sweets in your front garden for the children.
🎃Keep sweets and chocolate out of reach from your pets as these can be harmful if consumed.
🎃Ensure your pet has a comfortable and secure space to retreat to if they feel anxious. This could be their bed or crate, situated away from windows and the front door.

A busy Friday afternoon made better by a box of sleeping puppies 🥰

Our vet Tom recently visited Prickleback’s new kennel space, used to care for their rescued hedgehogs receiving rehabilitation 🦔🤎

Tonight vet Tom got a sneaky peek at our newly installed Poltec limited enclosures when he drove all the way here to deliver a rather poorly patient. I think he was a little envious! 😂🙈

He’s our first veterinary professional to visit since the cages have been installed … before we’ve even moved the 🦔 in (which we hope will be this Sunday).

Tom and the team from Kings Veterinary Centre - Melton Mowbray have been caring for a hedgehog with a nasty constriction injury but it’s now in need of some long term care with us.

Tom, like so many of our local vets, is dedicated to supporting wildlife.

Tonight he gave up his evening to join us while we conducted microscopy on 💩 samples, administered medication and observed our handling
techniques.

Wildlife rehabilitation is only ever successful with dedicated veterinary support and we are so grateful for Tom’s interest in the work we do.
