Autumn Awareness.

Autumn is a truly beautiful time of year, however there are some things pet owners need to be aware of to keep their pets happy and healthy. Firstly, turning on the central heating means our homes become the ideal environment for fleas! Make sure you continue to treat your pets and protect your home from fleas and ticks. Ticks thrive when the weather id still mild, but moist. They particularly enjoy living in areas with livestock, and where undergrowth is thick, they wait and jump onto any passing pets. Ticks can spread a number of diseases and some can be fatal, learn more about ticks and how to stop them attaching to your pet HERE.

 

Toxic Alert!

Cars often have anti freeze added to their engines around this time of year, unfortunately cats find it highly tasty, despite the fact it is highly toxic!
