This Tuesday's pet tip focuses on paw care, a crucial aspect of your pet's overall health. As the foundation of their body, your pet's paws require regular monitoring to prevent potential issues. It is essential to inspect their paws frequently, looking for signs of cracks, debris, or irritation. During these routine checks, also examine their nails, ensuring they are kept short. Ideally, their nails should not be audible on hard surface flooring. Additionally, check for split or broken nails, which can cause discomfort for your pet. If your pet has dewclaws, make sure to inspect and trim them regularly. If you are unsure or uncomfortable trimming your pet's nails, schedule an appointment with your veterinarian or groomer. Neglecting foot and nail care can lead to pain and mobility issues, making it essential to prioritize regular checks, ideally monthly and after any strenuous activity.

This Tuesday, we are highlighting the importance of microchips for your pets. The key to maximizing the benefits of microchips lies in regularly verifying and updating your contact information in the microchip registry, thereby ensuring that your pet can be reunited with you in the event of separation, as the microchip contains only an identification number, not your personal contact information. Moreover, it is advisable to have your veterinarian scan the microchip following implantation to confirm its functionality and keep copies of the registration information in a secure or easily accessible online location.

With the onset of fall, it is imperative to be mindful of several critical tips to ensure pet safety:
Fall decorations can be particularly captivating to pets, who may react impulsively. Items such as jack o' lanterns, Halloween lights, animatronic displays, and outdoor decorations can bewilder pets, prompting reactions ranging from fear to playfulness, and potentially resulting in damage or accidental ingestion. As a precautionary measure, it is advisable to use wreathes, garlands, ornamental corn, candles, potpourri, and scarecrows sparingly to safeguard pet safety.
