Season-specific advice to keep your pet safe and healthy throughout the year.
Keep candy (chocolate, xylitol) away. Avoid restrictive costumes. Quiet room during trick-or-treating. Current ID tags. Glow sticks cause mouth irritation.
New routines cause anxiety. Gradually adjust beforehand. Interactive toys. Consider daycare or walker. Practice short departures.
Fertilizers/pesticides toxic - keep away 48 hrs. Raisins/grapes toxic. Turkey bones and fatty foods cause pancreatitis. Secure trash.
Ragweed and mold allergies. Scratching, licking paws, ear infections. Wipe paws after walks. Hypoallergenic baths. Vet allergy meds for severe cases.
Gradual coat thickening naturally. Warm dry bedding. Watch stiff joints in seniors. Adjust exercise. Sweaters for short-coated below 45F.
