Why is Antifreeze a Winter Hazard for Pets?
Antifreeze may help your car, but it can really harm your pets. Unfortunately, its sweet taste can attract curious pets, leading to serious health risks if ingested.
Even a small amount of antifreeze can cause kidney failure and be fatal.

Symptoms of ingestion may include: vomiting, lethargy, uncoordinated movement, or seizures.

✔️Prevention Tips:
🔸Always clean spills immediately.
🔸Supervise pets outdoors.
🔸Use pet-safe antifreeze products.
🔸Stay alert and act fast if you suspect exposure.

Your vigilance can save your pet’s life! 🐶🐱❄️

🎄Holiday Pet Safety Tips from Your 24/7 Emergency Animal Hospital 🐾
The holidays are full of joy and celebration, but they can also present unexpected dangers for your pets. Here are essential safety tips to help keep your furry family members safe this season:

🍫 Holiday Treats:
Many festive foods are toxic to pets, including chocolate, sugar-free treats (xylitol is poisonous), grapes, raisins, and alcohol.
Avoid sharing fatty or spicy foods to prevent upset stomachs or pancreatitis.
Keep pet-safe treats on hand to include them in the celebration safely.

🎄 Decorations:
Tinsel, ribbons, and ornaments may look like toys but can cause choking or intestinal blockages if swallowed. Secure your Christmas tree to prevent it from tipping over if your pet decides to explore.

🕯️ Candles & Lights:
Pets can knock over candles, causing burns or fires. Always extinguish them when leaving the room. Hide and secure electrical cords to prevent chewing, which can lead to shocks.

🌺 Holiday Plants:
Poinsettias, mistletoe, and holly can be toxic if ingested, causing stomach upset or worse. Choose pet-safe artificial plants or keep real ones out of reach.
