How can you reduce cat shedding?
Most shedding is normal, and a few simple habits can cut down on the fur around your home and help keep your cat’s skin and coat healthy.

1️⃣ Support a healthy coat. A balanced diet and plenty of fresh water help your cat grow strong fur and keep their skin healthy, which can mean less loose hair.
2️⃣ Brush regularly. Brushing on a set schedule pulls out loose fur before it lands on your couch. It also reduces hairballs and gives you a chance to bond with your cat.
3️⃣ Watch for changes. When is cat shedding a concern? If you notice bald patches, constant itching, or red or irritated skin, talk to your veterinarian. These can signal allergies, parasites, or other health problems.

How do you stop a cat from scratching the carpet? Redirect the scratching; don’t punish it. Scratching is natural: it keeps claws healthy, marks territory, and stretches muscles.

- Offer a better place to scratch. Put sturdy sisal posts or cardboard scratchers right next to your cat’s favorite carpet spots. Choose a post that’s stable and tall enough for a full stretch.
- Protect problem areas. Doorways, rugs, and carpet edges are common targets. Cover them with secure mats, carpet protectors, or double-sided tape.
- Reward good scratching habits. When your cat starts on the carpet, gently guide them to a scratcher. Reward them right away with treats or praise.

Is the scratching new, excessive, or not stopping even with consistent training? Talk to us! It can sometimes point to stress, anxiety, or another underlying issue.

Whether it’s a quick trip to the park or a weekend road trip, your dog deserves the same protection you do. A few simple steps can make every ride safer:

- Use a harness, never a collar. A collar puts all the force on your dog’s neck. A well-fitted harness spreads it across the chest.
- Choose a crash-tested restraint. Look for a harness or carrier certified by the Center for Pet Safety.
- Keep your dog in the back seat. Front airbags are designed for adult humans and can seriously injure a pet.

New to car restraints? Start with short drives so your dog gets used to the gear before your next big adventure.

Which fall plants are toxic to dogs and cats?

Fall decor is fun, but some seasonal plants can make pets sick. Here are six to watch for:

- Pumpkins & gourds: Fresh, plain pumpkin is generally safe, but mold on a rotting pumpkin can be toxic.
- Oak leaves & acorns: They contain tannins that can cause vomiting and diarrhea. Acorns can also be a choking or blockage risk.
- Autumn crocus: Every part of the plant is toxic and can cause severe illness.
- Tulips: All parts are toxic, and the bulbs are the most dangerous.
- Chrysanthemums (mums): The flowers, leaves and stems can cause drooling, vomiting and skin irritation.
- Lilies: Every part of a true lily, including the pollen and vase water, can cause kidney failure in cats.

What should you do if your pet eats a toxic plant? Don’t wait for symptoms. Call us or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 right away, and bring a photo of the plant if you can.
