3 Fall Pet Safety Tips From Your Chalfont Veterinarian
Fall is in full swing, which means that the weather has turned a bit chillier. With all the fun fall brings, keeping up with your pet’s safety and wellness is essential. Read these tips from your Chalfont veterinarian on how to keep your pet safe and warm this fall!
Keep your Pet Visible!
Because of Daylight savings, the fall days will become shorter, which means that objects and pets will be harder to see.
To ensure your pet is safe, keep your pet visible at all times. Consider getting a reflective leash or collar for your pet while on walks; this will make other people aware of your pet in the evening hours (and will help you see your pet while on walks, too)!
Keep your Pet Warm!
Temperatures can drop quickly, and pets can also feel this change. Investing in dog coats and boots is a wise decision and will help your pet maintain warmth and comfort. Keep your pet indoors to protect them from the weather whenever possible.
When picking out dog coats and boots, check with your Chalfont veterinarian on which material/products might be best for your furry friend; every pet’s needs are different!
Keep your Pet Healthy!
Of course, piles of leaves are super fun for your pet’s playtime, but it is also a perfect place for ticks to hide (not good!).
Be sure to always check your dog before letting them back in the house. Ticks can be present year-round, and it’s important to keep on top of tick prevention year-round, too.
Lastly, using pet brushes and combs will help you stay on top of your pet’s coat health, enabling you to ensure that they aren't harboring any additional passengers.
