🎃🐾 Halloween Pet Safety Tips!🐾🎃

Halloween is full of costumes, candy, and spooky fun, but we want to make sure our furry friends stay safe, too! 💗

Here are a few ways to keep your pets happy and healthy this Halloween:

🍫 Keep the candy out of reach! Chocolate, sugar-free candy containing xylitol, and other sweets can be dangerous for pets.

🎃 Be careful with decorations. Keep pets away from lit candles, electrical cords, glow sticks, and decorations they might chew or swallow.

🐾 Choose costumes carefully. Make sure your pet’s costume fits comfortably, allows them to move and breathe normally, and doesn’t restrict their vision.

🚪 Watch the front door. Trick-or-treaters can mean lots of opening and closing doors. Keep pets in a secure, quiet room to prevent escapes and reduce stress.

🍗 Skip the table scraps. Halloween treats are for people! Stick to pet-safe treats to avoid an unexpected trip to the vet.

🏷️ Make sure ID tags are current. With doors opening more often, updated ID tags and microchip information can help bring a lost pet home.

👻 Know when to call for help. If your pet eats chocolate, sugar-free candy, or another potentially toxic item, contact your veterinarian promptly.

We hope you and your pets have a spook-tacular and safe Halloween! 🐶🐱

Every surgery starts long before the first incision. It starts with a veterinary technician who has spent years mastering their skills, anticipating needs, monitoring vitals, and showing up fully prepared for every patient who comes through the door.

Vet techs are the heart of every OR team, and their skill and dedication make a difference every single day. At some VCA specialty hospitals, we take surgical collaboration even further. Some of our teams include Certified Surgical Technologists (CSTs) — professionals who earned specialized degrees specifically to support surgeons in the OR.

The result? Less time under anesthesia. Better outcomes. And a team that truly works as one. 💙

Because every patient is somebody's pet — and they deserve nothing less than the best.

🍂🐾 Fall Walk Checklist! 🐾🍂

Cooler temperatures mean more fun fall walks with our furry friends! But before your pet gets too cozy on the couch, take a quick look after outdoor adventures. 👀🐶🐱

🍁 Check for ticks – Ticks can still be active during the fall months!
🌿 Look for burrs & plant material – Check fur, ears, between toes, and around the tail.
🐾 Inspect those paws – Remove mud, leaves, or debris caught between the toes.
😥 Check for irritated paws – Look for redness, tenderness, swelling, or anything unusual.
🔎 Give them a quick once-over – A few extra minutes of checking can help catch little problems before they become bigger ones!

And remember: flea and tick prevention is still important in the fall! 🍂🕷️ These pesky parasites don't necessarily disappear just because summer is over.

How does your pet feel about fall walks? 🍁🐕 Share a photo of your favorite walking buddy in the comments!

🍂🐾 Happy First Day of Fall! 🐾🍂

Pumpkin spice, cozy blankets, colorful leaves, and cooler days are here! 🎃🍁 As we welcome fall, it’s a great time to remember that the season brings a few changes for our pets, too.

🐶 Cooler weather means walks may be more enjoyable, but keep an eye out for chilly temperatures as the season progresses.

🍂 Fallen leaves, acorns, mushrooms, and other outdoor items can be tempting for curious pets. Keep an eye on what your pet sniffs, chews, and eats!

🕷️ Don’t forget about flea, tick, and heartworm prevention! Parasites are still active during the fall months, so staying consistent with prevention is important.

🎃 And with Halloween right around the corner, keep candy, decorations, and other seasonal goodies safely out of paw's reach.

Vision loss can be surprisingly tricky to spot in pets. Thanks to their impressive hearing and sense of smell—not to mention an excellent memory for the layouts of their homes—dogs and cats can compensate fairly well to early changes in their eyesight. Following these tips can be a great way to help your pet manage vision loss.
