Fall Safety for Dogs

Fall Safety for Dogs

With fall right around the corner, it’s important that we know how to keep our pups safe during the upcoming season.

1. Beware of anti-freeze 

Ingesting anti-freeze can be lethal for both dogs and cats. Unfortunately, animals have been known to lick this sweet tasting substance. Make sure to check your car for leaks and make sure all bottles are stored far away from your pets.

2. Don’t leave your pets outside for long periods of time

It doesn’t have to be Winter for it to get cold–especially for puppies, senior pets and smaller animals.

3. Beware of ticks 

It’s still tick season and playing in the leaves is one of the many ways your pup could get them. Consider using a natural tick repellent to help protect your pet. 

4. Be careful with holiday treats 

Aside from known hazards such as chocolate, cooked bones, raw bread dough and
many fruits and vegetables can also be life threatening to pets.
5. Be careful with decorations
New decorations look like really fun toys to your pets. Make sure decorations are out of reach because many of them contain toxic metals and can become choking hazards.
