Autumn Adventures and Hidden Hazards

Autumn brings crisp walks and golden leaves—but also a few hidden hazards for dogs. Here’s a roundup of seasonal dangers to watch out for:

‍

Things to Avoid on Your Walks

• Acorns & Conkers – Toxic if chewed or swallowed

• Wild Mushrooms – Many are poisonous and hard to identify

• Mouldy Leaf Piles – Can cause skin or respiratory irritation

• Harvest Mites – Tiny orange bugs that cause itchy skin

• Yew Berries & Beechnuts – Toxic and tempting to curious pups

Fireworks Season

Bonfire Night can be stressful for dogs. Create a cosy retreat, play calming music, and ask us about anxiety support options. (Stay tuned on more information about how to keep your pets stress free on Bonfire Night)

‍

Watch Out for Chemicals

Antifreeze and rodent bait are more common in colder months—both are highly toxic. Keep these well out of reach.

Let’s keep tails wagging safely this season!
