- Weight loss – Fall is a great time from weight loss! It is cooling off outside and hitting the pavement to burn extra calories may be in order. We can also help with diet recommendations for weight loss. Give us a call to schedule a consult.
- Allergies – Be aware that some patients have worse allergies in the fall then the spring or summer. Ragweed sagebrush, Russian thistle (tumbleweeds), plantain, cocklebur and lamb’s-quarters are all associated with fall time allergies. Allergies present as skin problems in our patients. Do you have an itchy pet? Give us a call.
- Fleas and ticks – This is not a spring and summer problem. Ticks can be more prominent in the fall as the leaves come off the trees and deer are feeding to get ready for winter. We have effective and safe medications to keep your pets pest free.
- Food – Halloween and Thanksgiving are full of treat for humans. But chocolate can make pets very ill and thanksgiving food is too rich for our fur family. Be aware of fall food influx of goodies.
- Antifreeze – Antifreeze is deadly. As we winterize our cars, boats, and yard equipment be aware of where antifreeze is at all times. Pets will drink it as it tastes sweet. If does not take a lot of ingestion for deadly consequences.
- Microchips – Fall is an awesome time to check your pets microchip ID and make sure your information is current. If you pet does not have a microchip we recommend it! Call us to schedule a microchip appointment. Mention this blog and we will give you $10 off a microchip!
