🍂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! 🍂
👉Beware rat poison and other rodenticides❗
Fall is the time of year when 🐁,🐀, and other rodents start to scurry for warmth. And where do they find it? You guessed it – your home!
Be careful when it comes to mouse traps and rodenticides like rat and mouse poison. Nobody wants an infestation of mice, but many poisons that are currently on the market can be very harmful to dogs and cats. Direct ingestion can be deadly. Make sure you talk to your veterinarian about methods of pest control that are safe for your pets.
Even if you don’t have a rodent problem or choose to deal with mice and rats humanely using live traps 💙, you never know what methods your neighbors are using. The carcasses of rodents that have been killed by rodenticides can also be dangerous, so if you see the telltale tail dangling from your pet’s mouth, make sure he drops it and keep an eye on him, and if you think your pet has eaten any of the rodent, contact your us or your local animal ER immediately.
Our pets can't tell us when something is wrong, but they may show it. Do you know how to recognize signs of pain in your pet?

Hello Three Trails Animal Hospital Family,
🥳It's National Veterinary Technician Week, and we hope you'll join us in celebrating by giving a shout-out to a technician you appreciate in the comments below 👇We'd love to hear how they've made a difference for you and your pet, or an experience you had that really meant a lot 💛

It's estimated that over half of all cats and dogs in the United States are overweight or obese. What can you do to help combat this problem?
PETOBESITYPREVENTION.ORG
Association for Pet Obesity Prevention
📣 Today is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day!
A rotund Rover or Felix can be a cute, but just like humans, that extra layer for lovin’ can have some serious consequences.
Obesity leads to reduced life expectancy, diminished quality of life, chronic inflammation, orthopedic disease, kidney dysfunction, respiratory disorders, cancer, and more.
To give our pets the best life possible, we have to help them avoid packing a few extra pounds. If you have questions or concerns about your pet's weight, give us a call at (816) 252-5105 to schedule an exam. We're here to help you determine how much food to feed, how much exercise to give, and keep your pet healthy!
Hello Three Trails Animal Hospital family!
Did you know? Veterinary technicians are animal nurses 🐾 🏥
Animal nurses perform all of the same duties of human nurses - scratch that - they perform the same duties as several human nurses! They're X-ray technicians, anesthesiology nurses, surgery assistants, post-op and ICU nurses, and pharmacy technicians, just to name a few (and sometimes that's all before lunch!)

🍄There is a fungus amongus!
In some regions of the country, fall is just as wet as spring. That means that more mushrooms dot backyards and forest floors. While most mushrooms are perfectly safe, there’s a small percentage that are highly toxic to our furry friends (and to us!). If you think your pet has gobbled up a toxic mushroom, contact the Pet Poison Helpline immediately at (855) 764-7661 or https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/

⚠️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 (816) 252-5105 to schedule an exam and we'll work together to create wellness plan specifically for your pet!

🍫Beware chocolate and hearty foods
The fall and winter parallel our holiday seasons, when we ramp up our intake of hearty, heavy foods and sweets. It’s important to make sure your pets don’t get into any foods that can make them sick; for dogs, this means chocolate, grapes, and raisins are off-limits because they are toxic.
🍗Just because some foods aren’t technically considered toxic to pets doesn’t mean they’re safe. Rich, high-fat foods can cause stomach problems such as diarrhea and gastroenteritis and even more serious conditions like pancreatitis. Also, think about small food items that can be choking hazards, like turkey bones around Thanksgiving. Talk to your us to make sure you know what’s safe and what’s not.

❗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.

📣 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.

Happy National Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day!
Have you ever wondered what your cat is trying to tell you through certain behavior? For example, when your cat pees on your pillow, he’s not trying to get even with you for coming home late. When he scratches your new sofa, he’s not being bad. Because cats have different needs and desires than us and a completely different way of seeing the world, they communicate in ways that we don’t always understand or appreciate.
