Ridgewood Veterinary Hospital : Autumn Pet Tips:
• Enjoy the Fall foliage by hiking with your pet, but remember that fleas and ticks are looking for a warm place as the weather gets colder. Use flea and tick preventative and be sure your dog’s Lyme Disease Vaccine is current.
• Do you have fall allergies? Your pet may too. If you see your pet itching more than usual, check with your veterinarian to identify any possible allergens. Keep leaves raked and grass cut short to eliminate irritation to your pet’s skin.
• Halloween is fast approaching. Please remember that chocolate is toxic to pets! Make sure the kids don’t feed them any candy. If you dress up your pets for Halloween and take them trick-or-treating with the kids, use reflective clothing and keep them close. Some pets are frightened of people in costumes, so be ready to react if they get startled.
