🍂We've got a 'Tuesday Tip' for fall pet safety!
Watch out for those pesky ticks!
Just because fall is here doesn’t mean that ticks aren’t still lurking. In fact, according to the University of Rhode Island, many species of ticks are active even into the winter and can survive the first frost. Here are some tips to keep your pet tick-free this fall:
👉Don’t let ticks cozy up. Eliminate their favorite environments, such as leaf and garden litter, where ticks can sometimes survive even into winter.
👉Check for ticks frequently.
👉Continue using tick control and repellent products, especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors with your pet enjoying activities like hiking, camping, or hunting.
👉Ask us about regular screening for tick-borne infections. (The Companion Animal Parasite Council recommends screening annually for tick-borne infections.)

🍂We've got a 'Tuesday Tip' for fall pet safety!
⚠️Watch out for antifreeze toxicity
In preparing for the winter months ahead, people tend to use fall to winterize their cars. This often involves changing fluids such as antifreeze, which can be deadly for pets. Consider this: one to two teaspoons of the stuff can kill a 10-pound dog! Less can kill a 10-pound cat.1
Part of the problem is ethylene glycol, a substance in antifreeze that has a sickly-sweet smell that entices pets to lap it up. That’s why it’s important to clean up spills immediately and make sure your pets steer clear of the garage while you’re working on your vehicle. Read Pet Health Network's in-depth article to learn more about the dangers of antifreeze and other automotive fluids: https://www.pethealthnetwork.com/dog-health/dog-toxins-poisons/keeping-your-pets-safe-garage-hazards

📣 Did you know October is National Pet Wellness Month?
👉 By age two, most dogs and cats have already reached adulthood. By the time they reach age four, they're considered middle-aged. At age seven, many dogs and cats have already started their senior years. Because dogs and cats age five to seven times faster than people, an annual visit to the veterinarian every year is equivalent to people seeing their physician or dentist every five to seven years!
📞 People want the best healthcare for themselves and for their pets, and for dogs and cats, this means regular wellness exams. We can tell you how often you're pet should be seen, just give us a call at 914-764-4644 to schedule an exam and we'll work together to create wellness plan specifically for your pet!

📣 November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month!
If you’ve been thinking about adding a four-legged-friend to your family, consider opening your home and your heart to an older dog or cat in need.💙
While small kittens and puppies may be adorable, older pets are just as loving and loyal as their younger counterparts. Not to mention, adopting a senior animal companion comes with some cool advantages:
🐾 Grown-up pets don’t require the constant monitoring and training that puppies and kittens do.
🐾 Many are already house-trained.
🐾 Since senior pets are fully grown, you’ll be immediately aware of important information like personality type and grooming requirements, making it easier to choose the perfect pet for your family.

❗Be careful with decorations
🎃🎄🎉Holidays mean decorations! But be careful about leaving irregularly shaped objects and trinkets around the house. While you might like to get into the seasonal spirit, dogs and cats do too – in the form of sampling, say, decorative gourds or other fall props. Eating strange objects can be dangerous and lead to foreign body obstruction. Learn what to watch for, including symptoms, in our in-depth article about foreign body ingestion.
If you have any questions or concerns, you should always visit or call your veterinarian – they are your best resource to ensure the health and well-being of your pets.
