🎃⚠️ Halloween Hazards for Pets ⚠️🎃

Halloween fun for us can spell trouble for our pets. Keep your furry friends safe by watching out for these spooky-season hazards:

✅ Candy & chocolate – Chocolate and sugar-free sweets (xylitol) are toxic to dogs and cats.
✅ Wrappers & decorations – Foil, plastic, fake webs, and small décor pieces can cause choking or blockages if swallowed.
✅ Candles & cords – Curious paws can knock them over or chew on wires, leading to burns or shocks.
✅ Costumes & crowds – Unfamiliar sights, sounds, and visitors can cause stress or anxiety.

A little caution means your pet can enjoy a safe and calm Halloween night. 👻

At Lenity Vet Specialists, we’re here 24/7 for emergencies, but we’d rather your pets avoid the ER and spend the night snoozing safely. 💙

🐾👻 A Spooky Season Spotlight: Brave Unity Blood Bank 👻🐾

This Halloween, our blood bank doesn’t serve vampires—it saves pets. 🐶🐱🦇 Through the Brave Unity Blood Bank, a division of Lenity Vet Specialists, our donor pets are real-life heroes who provide lifesaving blood for dogs and cats in critical need.

Just like people, pets sometimes require transfusions after trauma, surgery, or illness. Having a dedicated blood bank on site means we can act quickly when every second matters.

So while Dracula (or Bunnicula) might make for a good costume, the blood bank customers we celebrate are the brave pets who give the gift of life. 💙

🎃🐾 Halloween Pet Safety 🎃

Halloween is fun for people, but it can be tricky for pets. With costumes, candy, and decorations everywhere, a little planning helps keep your furry friends safe.

✅ Keep chocolate, sugar-free candy, and wrappers far out of reach—they’re toxic to pets.
✅ Make sure costumes fit comfortably and don’t block breathing, vision, or movement.
✅ Watch out for lit candles, cords, and small decorations that pets may chew or swallow.
✅ Keep pets indoors and away from the front door to avoid escapes during trick-or-treating.
✅ Provide a quiet, safe space for pets who may be nervous about the noise and visitors.

At Lenity Vet Specialists, we hope your Halloween is filled with treats, not tricks. But if an emergency does happen, our emergency and urgent care team is here 24/7 to help. 💙

Doogie is, in fact, a 100% good dog. He’s been coming to see us for a few weeks and we all light up when we see his adorable little body trotting down the hallway.

We ❤️ building those bonds with our patients and watching their progress as time goes on.

✅ Severe vomiting or diarrhea, especially with blood
✅ Trauma from a fall, accident, or fight
