🍂⚠️ AUTUMN HAZARDS – WHAT SHOULD PET OWNERS WATCH OUT FOR? 🐾

Autumn walks are one of the best things about the changing season, but there are a few hazards hiding amongst those fallen leaves! 🍁

Keep an eye out for:

🌰 Conkers – can cause illness if eaten and may cause more serious problems.

🌳 Acorns – can cause illness and may also pose a choking or blockage risk.

🍄 Mushrooms & fungi – some can be toxic, and it can be difficult to tell which are safe.

🚗 Antifreeze – extremely toxic to cats and dogs, even in small amounts.

🍂 Mouldy food & compost – can contain toxins that can make pets very unwell.

🌿 Plants, berries & bulbs – some can be harmful if eaten.

🐾 Keep curious noses away from anything they shouldn't eat!

If you think your pet has eaten something potentially harmful, contact your veterinary practice as soon as possible. Don't wait for symptoms to appear.

🚫 Never make your pet vomit unless a veterinary professional specifically advises you to.

🍂 Let's keep those autumn adventures safe! 🐶🐱💚

🍂🐾 HELLO OCTOBER! 🐾🍂

The nights are getting darker, the leaves are falling and autumn is officially here! 🍁

As the seasons change, there are a few simple things you can do to help keep your pets safe:

🌙 Be seen on darker walks – reflective or high-visibility leads, collars, harnesses and coats can help keep you and your dog visible.

🏷️ Check your microchip details – make sure your contact details are correct and up to date.

🦟 Keep parasite protection up to date – fleas and ticks can still be a problem during the cooler months.

🍂 Watch out for autumn hazards – conkers, acorns, mushrooms and antifreeze can all pose risks to pets.

🐾 Check paws after walks – look out for mud, grass seeds, cuts or anything unusual.

🏠 Give them somewhere cosy – make sure your pet has a warm, comfortable place to relax.

🎃 Prepare for Halloween – keep chocolate, sweets, candles and decorations safely out of reach.

🎆 Start preparing for fireworks – don't leave it until Bonfire Night. There are things you can do now to help your pet cope.

💚 A little preparation can make a big difference!

What are you doing to get your pet autumn-ready? 🍂🐶🐱

Do you know which vaccinations your cat needs, and when they need them?

Vaccinations help protect cats against serious infectious diseases and are an important part of routine preventative care. Keeping them up to date also gives your veterinary team a chance to review your cat’s health and make sure their vaccination schedule is right for them.

Our helpful vaccination guide explains what to expect and when your cat may need their vaccinations.
