🍂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 718-783-5500 to schedule an exam and we'll work together to create wellness plan specifically for your pet!

📣 It's National Senior Pet Month!
Thanks to better care, pets are living longer now than they ever have before – but as pets get older, they need extra care and attention. Regular veterinary examinations can detect problems in older pets before they become advanced or life-threatening, and improve the chances of a longer and healthier life for your pet.
If you have a senior pet (typically 7 years of age for cats and small dogs, 5-6 years of age for larger dog breeds), be sure they're having routine wellness exams - just give us a call at 718-783-5500 to schedule an appointment for your sweet senior pet today!
