🎃🐾 HALLOWEEN PET SAFETY TIPS! 🐾🎃

Halloween is full of spooky fun for us, but it can be a little scary (and even dangerous!) for our furry family members! 👻🐶🐱 Here are a few tips to keep your pets safe this Halloween! 🧡

🍫 KEEP THE TREATS OUT OF REACH!
Chocolate, sugar-free candy containing xylitol, raisins, and candy wrappers can all be dangerous for pets. Keep trick-or-treat bags and candy bowls somewhere your pets can’t reach!

🎃 BE CAREFUL WITH DECORATIONS!
Keep lit candles, jack-o’-lanterns, electrical cords, and small decorations away from curious noses and paws. Wagging tails and chewing pets can quickly turn spooky decorations into hazards!

👻 COSTUMES SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE!
If your pet dresses up for Halloween, make sure their costume fits properly, doesn’t restrict breathing or movement, and has no small pieces they could chew or swallow. If they seem stressed, skip the costume!

🚪 WATCH OUT FOR ESCAPE ARTISTS!
Constantly opening the door for trick-or-treaters can make it easy for pets to slip outside. Keep them in a secure, quiet room and make sure their ID tags and microchip information are up to date.

🐕 TRICK-OR-TREATING ISN’T FOR EVERY PET!
Loud noises, unfamiliar people, masks, and spooky decorations can frighten even the friendliest animals. Keep anxious pets somewhere comfortable and away from the commotion.

🍬 NEVER SHARE YOUR HALLOWEEN CANDY!
Even a small amount of certain treats can cause serious problems. If your pet gets into something they shouldn’t, contact your veterinarian or a pet poison helpline right away. Don’t wait for symptoms to appear!

🧡 From all of us at Canandaigua Veterinary Hospital, we hope you and your furry family members have a safe, happy, and SPOOKTACULAR Halloween! 🎃🐾

Does your cat hesitate before jumping onto the bed, sofa, or windowsill?

Cats rarely show pain in obvious ways. Instead, they quietly stop doing the things they once loved.

If you've noticed changes in your cat's mobility or activity, we'd love to talk with you.

Ask our team whether your cat may qualify for the advoCATes Feline Pain Study.

🐾 October is National Pet Obesity Awareness Month! 🐾
A little extra fluff might look cute, but maintaining a healthy weight is one of the best gifts we can give our furry companions. Extra pounds can put unnecessary strain on joints, reduce energy levels, and increase the risk of serious health conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
Here are three simple ways to support your pet’s wellness journey:
🥣 Measure Meals: Use an accurate measuring cup or kitchen scale rather than eyeballing portions.
🥕 Mind the Treats: Swap calorie-dense table scraps for pet-safe crunchy veggies like carrots or green beans.
🐕 Keep Moving: Consistent daily walks and active play make a world of difference!
🌟 Patient Spotlight: Chippsy’s Inspiring Journey! 🌟
Healthy lifestyle changes take dedication, and we want to give a massive shoutout to one of our own team members and their sweet pup, Chippsy!
Since being adopted, Chippsy and his owner have been teaming up to help him reach a healthier, happier weight. When he started his journey in June, Chippsy weighed in at 23 lbs—and thanks to consistent portion control, daily exercise, and lots of love, he was down to 19 lbs by August!
That’s over a 17% weight loss in just two months—an incredible milestone for a smaller pup. Chippsy has more pep in his step, and we couldn’t be prouder. Great job, Chippsy! 🎉🐶
If you’re wondering where your pet stands on the Body Condition Score (BCS) chart or need help designing a safe, gradual weight loss plan, give us a call or ask at your next wellness visit!

🦇🐶🐱 World Rabies Day – September 28 🌍💜

Rabies is one of the deadliest diseases in the world—but it’s also 100% preventable through vaccination.

This World Rabies Day, let’s work together to protect our pets, our families, and our community by staying up to date on rabies vaccinations.

Did you know?
🐾 Rabies is a viral disease that affects the brain and nervous system of mammals, including dogs, cats, wildlife, and humans.
🐾 It is most commonly spread through the bite of an infected animal.
🐾 Once clinical signs appear, rabies is almost always fatal.
🐾 Vaccination is the best and most effective way to prevent the disease.

How you can help:
✔️ Keep your pet’s rabies vaccine current.
✔️ Avoid contact with wild animals, especially bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes.
✔️ Never approach a wild animal that appears sick, injured, unusually friendly, or is acting strangely.
✔️ If your pet has an encounter with wildlife, contact your veterinarian immediately—even if you don’t see a bite wound.

Rabies prevention isn’t just about protecting our pets—it’s about protecting our entire community.

If your pet is due for a rabies vaccine or you have questions about your pet’s vaccination status, give us a call. We’re happy to help keep your furry family members safe and healthy.

❤️🐾 Vaccinate. Educate. Protect. Together, we can help end rabies.

🚌🍎 Back to School Means Sharing the Road! 🍎🚌

As students head back to school, our roads and neighborhoods become much busier. Let’s all do our part to keep our community safe!

🚸 Slow down in school zones and obey posted speed limits.
🛑 Always stop for school buses when their red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended—children may be crossing the street unexpectedly.
👀 Stay alert for children walking, biking, or crossing the road, especially during the morning and afternoon hours.
📵 Put distractions away and keep your eyes on the road.

And don’t forget our four-legged family members! 🐾 Keep dogs on a leash during walks near schools and bus stops, and be mindful of increased traffic during pickup and drop-off times.

A few extra seconds of caution can make all the difference. Let’s work together to keep our students, families, pets, and neighbors safe this school year.

Have a safe, fun, and successful school year! 🍎📚❤️

🍂🐾 Happy First Day of Fall! 🐾🍂

As the leaves begin to change and the temperatures start to cool, it’s the perfect time to enjoy crisp walks, hiking trails, and outdoor adventures with your pets. 🍁🐶

But don’t let the cooler weather fool you—ticks are still active throughout the fall! In fact, they often hide in leaf litter, tall grass, and wooded areas, waiting for a passing host. Many tick species remain active anytime temperatures are above freezing, and some can even survive during mild winter days.

Here’s how to help protect your pet this season:
🍁 Keep your pet on veterinarian-recommended flea and tick prevention year-round.
🍁 Check your pet thoroughly after spending time outdoors, paying close attention to the ears, neck, armpits, between the toes, and around the tail.
🍁 Be cautious when walking through piles of leaves, wooded trails, and areas with tall grass.

Fall is a beautiful season to make memories with your furry family members—let’s keep them safe and healthy while enjoying everything autumn has to offer! ❤️🍂

If you have questions about which flea and tick prevention is best for your pet, our team is always happy to help!

🐾 What Every Dog Owner Should Know About Scabies (Sarcoptic Mange) 🐾

Did you know that dogs can get scabies, also known as sarcoptic mange? This highly contagious skin condition is caused by microscopic mites that burrow into the skin, leading to intense itching and discomfort.

Common signs of scabies include:
🔹 Severe itching (often nonstop!)
🔹 Red, inflamed skin
🔹 Hair loss, especially around the ears, elbows, hocks, chest, and belly
🔹 Scabs and crusty skin
🔹 Restlessness due to constant scratching

How do dogs get it?
Scabies spreads through direct contact with an infected dog or fox, but it can also be picked up from contaminated bedding, collars, or other objects. Dogs of any age or breed can become infected.

Can people catch it?
Yes—but only temporarily. The mites can cause an itchy rash on people, but they cannot complete their life cycle on human skin and typically resolve once the infected pet is treated.

The good news?
✅ Scabies is treatable! Your veterinarian can diagnose the condition and prescribe effective medications to eliminate the mites and relieve your dog’s discomfort. Other pets in the household may also need treatment, and bedding should be washed to help prevent reinfection.

If your dog is scratching excessively or developing unexplained hair loss or skin irritation, don’t wait—schedule an appointment with your veterinarian. Early treatment can help your pet feel better sooner and reduce the risk of spreading the mites to other animals.

Healthy skin means a happier pup! 🐶❤️

🐾💙 September is National Service Dog Month! 💙🐾

This month, we proudly recognize and celebrate the incredible service dogs who dedicate their lives to helping others live more independently.

Service dogs are specially trained to perform essential tasks for people with disabilities, providing not only assistance but also confidence, safety, and companionship. From guiding individuals with vision loss to alerting to medical conditions, assisting with mobility, and supporting those with other disabilities, these remarkable dogs make a life-changing difference every single day.

As we celebrate these hardworking heroes, here’s how you can show your support:
🐾 Never pet, feed, or distract a working service dog without the handler’s permission.
🐾 Give service dog teams the space they need to work safely.
🐾 Remember that service dogs are working—even when they’re quietly lying beside their handler.

To all the amazing service dogs and their handlers—thank you for your dedication, partnership, and the incredible bond you share.

Happy National Service Dog Month! ❤️🐕
