Fall Safety Tips
As the weather cools and the leaves start to change, our team at The Village Animal Hospital wants to remind you that autumn comes with its own set of pet safety considerations. Here are a few ways to keep your furry friends happy and healthy this season:
1. Watch Out for Wildlife Encounters
Fall means critters like snakes, skunks, and rodents are more active as they prepare for winter. Keep a close eye on your pets during walks and in your yard.
2. Be Cautious with Mushrooms
Some wild mushrooms that pop up in the fall can be toxic to pets. Since it’s hard to tell the safe ones from the harmful ones, it’s best to prevent your pet from nibbling on any.
3. Keep Halloween Hazards in Mind
Candy, especially chocolate and sugar-free treats with xylitol, can be dangerous for pets. Costumes should be safe, comfortable, and free of choking hazards.
4. Protect Against Fleas and Ticks
Cooler weather doesn’t mean pests disappear. Continue your pet’s parasite prevention throughout the fall to avoid unwanted hitchhikers.
5. Be Mindful of Antifreeze
This season often brings more use of antifreeze, which is highly toxic to pets. Clean up spills immediately and store containers securely.
6. Keep Them Warm
As temperatures drop, outdoor pets need extra shelter and cozy bedding. Indoor pets with thin coats may also appreciate a sweater on chilly mornings.
At The Village Animal Hospital, Dr. Segarra and her team are here to make sure your pets stay safe and healthy year-round. If you have questions about fall safety, or need to update your pet’s preventive care, give us a call at (770) 754-1234 to schedule a visit!
