🎃 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! 👻🐶🐱

When you've got wet from a walk and need a towel off. This chap goes all silly when I dry his face 🐕❤️

I think he was enjoying it what do you think? 🤣

There's something very calm and relaxing about watching a cat wash themselves 👅😺❤️

⭐️⭐️Remember to wash your dogs feet, legs and tummy after a walk in a wooded area/ muddy walk.
Also check for sores and wounds. If in any doubt, seek veterinary attention⭐️⭐️ 🐕🐾❤️

Its part of my post walk routine 🙂

Dog owners, if you notice any of these signs and have recently walked in a wooded area, your pet could be showing signs of Alabama Rot.

Whilst we don’t know the exact cause, Alabama Rot is prevalent between November and May and can be fatal. It appears to affect dogs which have been walked in muddy or wooded areas, damaging blood vessels and kidneys.

Be vigilant and regularly check your dog during their post-walk washes for wounds or skin sores, and if in doubt, give us a call! Above all, enjoy your walks and keep exploring - Alabama Rot isn’t common and if spotted early, can be treated.

These two were a joy to look after. The black one quite outgoing and the black and white more reserved. A few visits in and the reserved chap was won round for abit of fuss 🐈‍⬛️🐈‍⬛️❤️

I cared for these three stick insects recently. It was interesting looking for them in their enclosure. They are called stick insects for a reason 🤣
Talk about camouflage 🌿
