“Why is my dog itching and scratching? The two most common reasons are pests and allergies. ALLERGIES- The reactions dogs have to allergens are slightly different from those of humans, itchy skin and recurrent ear infections are the most common signs of seasonal allergies in dogs, but your pet may also experience red, swollen eyes, a clear, runny nose and fits of sneezing.
The itchiness your pet may experience can range from intense to mild. Dogs can scratch themselves raw. So if you notice them scratching or licking themselves more than normal, it's worth bringing them in to see us. This behavior can lead to painful infections — signs of which include unusual odor and discharge — that will require treatment.

Sweater weather 🥰 everyone stay warm and safe

Take your pet with you to help relieve stress!

Watch out for these plants if you have a pet:

Flowers and festive plants can result in an emergency veterinary visit if your pet gets hold of them. Poinsettias, amaryllis, mistletoe,balsam, pine, cedar, and holly are among the common holiday plants that can be dangerous and even poisonous to pets who eat them. Call us with any questions 502-348-9098.

Holiday decorations safety from the AVMA:

Ornaments can cause hazards for pets. Breakable ornaments can cause injuries, and swallowed ornaments can cause intestinal blockage or illness. Keep any ornaments, including those made from salt-based dough or other food-based materials, out of reach of pets.

Tinsel, ribbons, wreaths, and other decorative materials also can be tempting for pets to play with and eat. These items whether swallowed in whole or in part can cause choking or intestinal blockage.
Christmas trees can tip over if pets climb on them or try to play with the lights and ornaments. Consider tying your tree to the ceiling or a doorframe using fishing line to secure it.

Candles and oil lamps are attractive to pets as well as people. Never leave a pet alone in an area with a lit candle or lamp; it could result in a fire.

No people cookies for Fido!
Food safety tips for pets from the AVMA:

Keep people food away from pets, and instruct everyone else to do the same. If you want to share holiday treats with your pets, make or buy treats formulated just for them. The following people foods are especially dangerous for pets:

Chocolate is an essential part of holidays for many people, but it is toxic to dogs and cats. It's safest to consider all chocolate off limits for pets, even though the harm it can cause varies based on the type of chocolate, the size of your pet, and the amount eaten.

Other sweets and baked goods also should be kept out of reach. Not only are they often too rich for pets; they may contain the artificial sweetener xylitol, which has been linked to liver failure and death in dogs.

Table scraps – including gravy, sauces, dressing, and meat or poultry fat or skin – should be kept away from pets. During the holidays, when our own diets tend toward extra-rich foods, table scraps can be especially hard for pets to digest and can cause pancreatitis. Bones can cause choking or intestinal blockage. Plus, many foods that are healthy for people are poisonous to pets, including onions, raisins, and grapes.

Unbaked yeast dough can cause problems for pets, including painful gas and potentially dangerous bloating.
