🎇Lets ease cat firework anxiety with these 5 top tips
👇

🐾Create a cosy hideaway: Set up a snug space for your cat to retreat to during the fireworks. A quiet corner with their favourite blanket or a covered cat bed can provide comfort and security.
🍽💧Food & water access: Make sure your cat has access to food and water throughout the night. If you know fireworks are coming, consider feeding them a little earlier to reduce stress during mealtimes.
🔐 Secure your home: Close all windows and doors to prevent your frightened kitty from darting outside. Use curtains or blinds to block out flashes of light from the fireworks.
🎶 Play soothing sounds: Use soft music or turn on the TV to help mask the sound of fireworks. Cats often find comfort in familiar noises, which help ease their anxiety.
📦 Provide hiding spots: Cats love to hide! Leave boxes or tunnels around for your cat to explore and retreat to when they feel scared. These spaces can make them feel safer.

🎇Lets ease Firework anxiety with these 5 top tips
👇

🚻 Toilet Time: Try to get your dog to go to the toilet before the fireworks start and keep them indoors during the displays
🍽💧Food & Water access: for dogs that struggle to eat when stressed, ensure they have access to food and water all night. If you know when the worst nights for fireworks will be, feed your dog late afternoon or early evening before the noise begins
🔐 Secure your home: Make sure your home is secure by closing all doors and windows, as scared pets can sometimes bolt. Close curtains and blinds to minimise flashes
🎶 Create background noise: Play moderately loud rhythmic music with a good beat to help mask the sound of fireworks. Alternatively, familiar sounds like the TV might also comfort your dog.
🐕‍🦺 Prevent trapping: Ensure your dog cannot get trapped, as this may worsen their phobias. Avoid shutting them in thought spaces

A massive congratulations to Wendy and Jean on their recent visit to Áras an Uachtaráin to meet the President! 🇮🇪

It’s wonderful to see the amazing work Wendy and Jean do receiving the recognition it truly deserves.

As the main charity partner to Animal Help Net for nearly 20 years, we are so grateful for everything they do. Their kindness, compassion, and dedication make such a difference to animals both close to home and farther afield.

Wendy, Jean, and all the incredible volunteers are a true credit to the charity — we can’t thank them enough for their continued hard work and care. 💚

✨ Don’t forget! The 2026 calendars are now available to purchase in the practice. They make a thoughtful gift and help support the fantastic work Animal Help Kerry does every day. 🐾

Help your cat stay stress - free during Halloween!

🏠 Provide hiding spots where they can retreat from noise and guests
🌃 Keep them indoors, especially on Halloween night to avoid spooks or accidents.
👻 Avoid costumes as wearing them can be stressful for pets
🎃 Secure decorations that dangle or sparkle - cats love to pounce!
🎇 Minimise loud noises like fireworks or doorbells that can cause anxiety.

If you have any doubt and need advice, please don't hesitate to contact us.

In the lead up to Halloween this week here are a few tips to keep your dog calm and secure.

🏠 Create a safe space away from noise and visitors
👻 Avoid costumes unless your dog is comfortable wearing one.
🍬 Keep sweets out of reach - especially chocolate and xylitol (found in sugar free sweets) which are toxic.
🎃 Watch out for decorations that could be chewed or swallowed.
😀 Stick to your everyday routine where possible to help reduce stress and anxiety.

If in doubt please contact us immediately on 066-7123098

⚠️ Antifreeze: Sweet-tasting but deadly

As the temperatures drop this time of the years, many of us may start using antifreeze in our cars.... but did you know it's one of the most dangerous autumn toxins for our pets? ☠️

Antifreeze (which contains ethylene glycol) is often sweet - tasting to cats and dogs, but cats are more sensitive meaning even one teaspoon can be fatal.

📌 Key Precautions:
- Store antifreeze well out of reach
- Clean up any spills immediately
- Don't let your pet drink from puddles or driveways
- Use pet - safe antifreeze and screen wash wherever possible

⏱ If you suspect your pet has licked or ingested antifreeze or screen wash, call us immediately. Time is really critical with this one.
