🍂🐶 AUTUMN ADVENTURES: KEEPING OUR PETS SAFE!💙🐾

Autumn is a lovely time to enjoy the outdoors with our four-legged friends, but the changing season brings a few things for pet owners to look our for! 💙

🍂 Watch what they sniff and eat - Fallen leaves can hide things your pet shouldn't eat, including discarded food and potentially harmful objects.

🍄 Be careful around fungi - Some wild mushrooms and toadstools are poisonous to pets, so discourage curious noses from investigating them.

🌧️ Dry off after walks - Wet fur and muddy paws can leave pets uncomfortable, so give them a gentle towel dry when you get home.

🌙 Be visible - As evenings get darker, consider reflective accessories or lights to help your dog be seen on walks.

🐾 Check paws and coats - Look out for mud, debris and anything caught in their fur after outdoor adventures.

💙 A little extra care can help make autumn walks safer and more enjoyable for everyone!

🎆🐾Fireworks & Pets: Week 4
Think about outdoor time before the bangs begin.

If you have a dog, try to get walks and toilet trips done while it's still light and before fireworks are likely to start.

If you have a cat, start getting into the habit of keeping them safely indoors after dark.

And for ALL pets:
🔒Check doors, windows, gates and fences
🐾 Make sure your pet's microchip details are up to date
🚪Keep escape routes secure
🌙 Don't assume fireworks will only happen on the main celebration night

A frightened pet may react very differently from normal, so a little extra preparation can make a big difference.

❄️🐾 Winter care: keeping our animals safe and healthy 💙

As the colder weather arrives, it’s important to give our animals a little extra care to keep them safe, warm and healthy.

Here are some Winter Welfare Tips:

🐕 Dogs: Keep walks safe in icy weather, use reflective equipment during darker evenings and wipe paws after a walks to remove grit and road salt.

🐈‍⬛ Cats: Provide a warm, dry place to rest and always check under your car before starting the engine, as cats may shelter near warm engines.

🐇 Rabbits & Guinea Pigs: Ensure outdoor housing is waterproof, dry, well insulated and protected from wind and rain. Provide extra bedding and check drinking water regularly to make sure it hasn’t frozen.

🐄 Farm Animals: Make sure they have suitable shelter, access to fresh, unfrozen water and appropriate food throughout the winter.

🏡 All pets: Keep an eye on changes in behaviour, appetite or activity, as these can be signs that something isn’t right.

💙 A little extra care can make a big difference to animal welfare this winter!
