October Tip

No Tricks or Treats For Your Pet

By Dr. Michael Windley DVM

 There are numerous ways to keep your pet safe throughout the Holiday. Your pet can safely be a part of your fun if you keep these few tips in mind: 

1.     Keep your pet safe from loud noises (music) and strangers that may make them nervous

2.   Be cautious of any candy or especially chocolate since it can be toxic to the animals and can add extra calories

3.   Use pet friendly costumes and make sure they don’t fit too tight on the animal

4.   Don’t leave your pet unattended at night, especially black cats, since they are known to be victims of cruelty 

Have a great month and enjoy the fun your pet can have with you.
