🍂🐾 HAPPY FIRST DAY OF FALL! 🐾🍂
Pumpkin spice, crisp leaves, cozy blankets… and happy pets! 🧡🐶🐱
Who else is excited for FALL?! 🙋♀️🍁 We sure are! As you and your furry family members enjoy everything this beautiful season has to offer, here are a few fall pet-safety tips to keep everyone happy, healthy, and having fun:
🎃 Keep pumpkins pet-safe! Plain, fresh pumpkin can be a tasty treat, but skip the candles and keep carved pumpkins where curious noses and paws can’t reach them.
🍂 Watch those leaves! A big pile of leaves looks like the perfect place to play, but mold, mushrooms, sticks, and hidden debris can cause trouble.
🦔 Keep an eye out for wildlife. Cooler weather means more critters may be on the move. Give wildlife plenty of space and supervise outdoor adventures.
🌙 Shorter days = more visibility! Reflective collars, leashes, or lights can help keep evening walks safer.
🌰 Skip the seasonal snacks. Keep chocolate, candy, grapes/raisins, and other foods that can be harmful to pets safely out of reach.
🧥 Think cozy! Some pets love the cooler temperatures, while others may need an extra layer on chilly walks.
🍁 Most importantly… get outside, sniff ALL the leaves, enjoy the cooler weather, and make some wonderful fall memories together! 🐾🧡
From all of us at Meredith Animal Hospital, we wish you and your furry family a happy, healthy, and FUN first day of fall! 🍂🐕🐈
