🎃 October Pet Safety Alert! 🐾
Fall is full of fun — pumpkin spice, cozy sweaters, and Halloween treats — but some things can be dangerous for your pets. Here are a few things your dog should avoid this month:
🚫 Chocolate & Candy – Especially Halloween candy containing xylitol or chocolate. Even small amounts can be toxic.
🚫 Seasonal Decorations & Plants – Pumpkins (the seeds/stems/outer layering), gourds, and decorative plants (like chrysanthemums and poinsettias) can upset tummies, cause intestinal blockages, or be poisonous if ingested.
🚫 Rodent & Insect Baits – These can be fatal if your pet gets into them.
🚫 Alcohol & Human Foods – Apple cider, wine, raisins, and some fall treats may be harmful.
Keep all toxic items out of reach and supervise your pets around seasonal decorations and trick-or-treaters! 😽
Your pet’s safety is our priority! If you suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, call us immediately at 731-364-3115.
