โš ๏ธ๐Ÿฑ Curious Cats + Hidden Hazards

Garages, sheds, and storage areas can hide serious dangers for curious cats.

๐Ÿšซ Antifreeze
๐Ÿšซ Pesticides and rodenticides
๐Ÿšซ Fertilizers and other chemicals
๐Ÿšซ Paints, solvents, and automotive products

Keep potentially toxic products securely stored and out of reach, and clean up spills immediately.

๐Ÿพ If you think your pet has been exposed to something potentially toxic, don't wait for symptomsโ€”contact your veterinarian or an animal poison control service right away.

๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ Cooler Weather Doesn't Mean Tick Season Is Over!

Think ticks disappear when summer ends? Think again. They can stay active well into the fall, and those leaf piles your pet loves to dive into are exactly where they hide, along with mold that can cause problems of its own.

A few ways to keep your pet safe this season:
โœ… Keep flea and tick prevention consistent year-round
๐Ÿ”Ž Check your pet after outdoor adventures, especially the ears, neck, between the toes, and around the collar
๐Ÿ Keep pets out of leaf piles while you work
๐Ÿงฐ Store tools and lawn products safely out of reach

A little extra caution goes a long way while you tidy up the yard for the season. ๐Ÿพ

Not sure if your pet's prevention is up to date? Give Fanwood Animal Hospital a call!

๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ Do Dogs & Cats Dream?

๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ’ค Ever notice your pet kicking, twitching, moving their paws, or making little sounds while they sleep? They may be dreaming!

Both dogs and cats experience REM sleep, the stage of sleep associated with dreaming. While we canโ€™t know exactly what they dream about, researchers believe their dreams may be connected to experiences from their everyday lives.

So what do you think your pet dreams about? ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’ญ

๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™ National Animal Pain Awareness Month

Our pets canโ€™t tell us when theyโ€™re hurtingโ€”but they can show us.

September is National Animal Pain Awareness Month, a great reminder to pay attention to changes in your petโ€™s behavior and daily routines.

Signs of pain may include:
๐Ÿพ Limping or difficulty getting up
๐Ÿพ Reluctance to jump, climb stairs, or play
๐Ÿพ Changes in appetite or sleep
๐Ÿพ Hiding or withdrawing
๐Ÿพ Excessive licking or chewing of an area
๐Ÿพ Whining, restlessness, or changes in behavior
๐Ÿพ Changes in posture or movement

Sometimes pain can be subtle and may look like your pet is simply โ€œslowing downโ€ with age. Changes in mobility, activity, or behavior deserve attention.

If you notice something different about your pet, donโ€™t wait for their discomfort to become severe. Your veterinarian can help determine what may be causing the change and discuss appropriate pain-management options. โค๏ธ

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor the lives that were taken, the families who lost loved ones, the first responders who ran toward danger, and all those whose lives were forever changed by that day.

We remember their courage, their sacrifice, and the strength of the communities that came together in the aftermath.

25 years later, we will never forget.
