Fall brings cooler days, autumn leaves, Halloween fun and Thanksgiving with family. For our pets, however, it can also bring scary things that can harm them. Watch out for:

• CHRYSANTHEMUMS - These flowers are toxic to dogs and cats. Look for ataxia (stumbling), dermatitis, vomiting, and diarrhea.
• MUSHROOMS - Most types aren't harmful but it's difficult to distinguish which are toxic. It's best to keep pets away from them.
• ANTIFREEZE - Thousands of pets are poisoned each each year by the sweet tasting ethylene glycol found in antifreeze. Keep it away from pets and clean up spills immediately.
• CANDY - Chocolate, raisins and xylitol (a sugar-free sweetener found in candy and gum) are toxic to pets. To be safe, keep all candy out of reach.
• THANKSGIVING FOODS - Fatty foods can lead to acute pancreatitis, and turkey bones can cause serious injury to your pets if swallowed.

If you have any questions about pet safety give us a call at (918) 492-2674.
