🧠 Caring for your pet helps to provide a daily routine.
🧠 Helps you meet new people; whether that’s during walks or via pet related groups/classes.

Watch Out for These Common Autumn Hazards! 🍂🐾

There’s lots to sniff and explore during autumn walks but not everything is pet-safe. Here are three things to be cautious of:

🌰 Acorns – Contain tannins that can cause stomach upset, vomiting, and in some cases be toxic in large amounts. They’re also a choking risk

🍄 Wild mushrooms – Some types are harmless, but others are extremely toxic to pets and can cause everything from drooling and diarrhoea to seizures or organ failure. Always err on the side of caution

🌼 Chrysanthemums – These bright autumn flowers can cause drooling, vomiting, and skin irritation if chewed or eaten.

If you’re ever unsure what your pet has eaten, or they seem unwell after a walk, don’t wait — give your vet a ring.

🐾🍂 It’s National Walk Your Dog Week… the perfect excuse to get outside and enjoy autumn strolls with your four-legged friend!

To keep every walk safe and happy this season, here are a few top tips:

🧥 Stay Warm: Ensure your pet is comfortable and warm with appropriate clothing, especially if they have short fur

⚠️ Watch Out for Hazards: Be mindful of fallen leaves, which can hide potential dangers like sharp objects or holes

🦌 Stay on Leash: With wildlife more active, keep your pet on a leash to prevent unexpected chases

💧 Hydrate: Bring water for your pet, as they can still get thirsty even in cooler weather

✔️ Check for Ticks: Ticks may still be active in October so keep up your tick checks after each walk

Enjoy the beautiful season safely with your pet! 🐾🍂

Spoiler alert… Yes, neutering is important. Here’s why:

Neutering cats can lower the risk of certain cancers and illnesses. It also helps reduce unwanted behaviours like spraying and roaming, making for a calmer, happier pet.

Most importantly, it helps prevent overpopulation, easing the burden on shelters and reducing the number of homeless animals.

If you would like to discuss neutering your pet please ring us on 01743 362556
