MYTH: It’s fine to leave companion outside because some wild animals survive in the cold.

FACT: Freezing weather puts and at risk of painful conditions like hypothermia – which may be fatal. Companion animals left outdoors are also at risk of being poisoned by antifreeze, attacked by coyotes or other , hit by cars, and more. Don’t let them suffer. .

Why it is so important to keep your cats and dogs vaccinated against rabies

Raccoon Alert! Last week a raccoon went into a resident's yard in Christianstead, and got into a brawl with their dogs. That raccoon later tested positive for rabies. Residents are reminded of the importance of having a current rabies' vaccination for their pets.
Remember, just because it happened on the west side of town, doesn’t mean that it can’t happen elsewhere. Be careful and keep your pets safe from trash pandas and other wild animals!

For chuckles. Animals are creative and love to play.

An important message, please use nontoxic antifreeze and dispose of antifreeze where it is environmentally safe and animals can't ingest any.

Antifreeze (ethylene glycol) is found in products such as car screen wash, brake and radiator fluid. If it’s swallowed (even in small amounts), it’s extremely toxic and causes fatal damage to the kidneys and nervous system. Unfortunately, ethylene glycol is naturally sweet which, is why our pets are often tempted to drink it from leaky car radiators or driveway spillages.

Should your pet ingest this, the ASPA Pet Poison Control Hotline should be called at (888) 426-4435 and the Veterinary Emergency Center of Manchester on Brown Avenue can be reached at (603) 666-6677. If you are not located in Manchester, we would recommend calling the nearest Emergency Hospital.

Be on the lookout for this. Avoid products labeled birch sugar or xylitol. Both are toxic for our pets

Xylitol can be found in a lot of products and it's now being labeled as Birch Sugar because it's extracted from Birch bark. It's toxic to dogs, cats and ferrets. Check your peanut butter ingredients before you give your animals any and if they get into something they shouldn't have, read the ingredients to know if you should get them to the vet right away!
