🎃🐾 Halloween Pet Safety Tips! 🐾🎃

Halloween is a fun and spooky time for families—but it can be frightening or dangerous for pets if we’re not careful. Here are some simple ways to keep your furry friends safe:

🍫 Keep candy out of paws’ reach – Chocolate, xylitol (found in sugar-free candy), and even raisins can be toxic to pets. Store treats high and sealed tight!

🚪 Secure doors, gates, and yards – With trick-or-treaters constantly coming and going, it’s easy for pets to slip out. Make sure your pet has a collar, ID tag, and microchip just in case.

🧙‍♀️ Choose safe costumes – If your pet wears a costume, make sure it’s comfortable, non-restrictive, and doesn’t block their sight or breathing. Never leave them unattended in costume.

💡 Be mindful of decorations – Wires, candles, and glow sticks can look like toys but can cause burns or stomach upset. Keep décor out of reach and use flameless candles when possible.

🎆 Create a quiet space – Loud noises, strange visitors, and flashing lights can stress out pets. Provide a calm room with their favorite bed, toys, and some soothing background noise.

🧡 From all of us at Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Animal Control, we wish you and your pets a safe, happy, and treat-filled Halloween!

One of our workers found a deceased shorthair orange tabby alongside Tuolunme Rd. N. near Knox Rd. this morning. He's around 12lbs and neutered without a notched ear or microchip. We will be holding onto him, if this sounds like one of yours, please feel free to come into the hospital to identify him. ❤️‍🩹

It's National Animal Safety and Protection Month, so let's talk about training!

Training helps build a bond with your dog, allowing them to be confident in you and rely on you for commands during stressful situations to help keep them safe!

♡ Basic training should start around 7-8wks of age - this will be things such as house, crate, and potty training, etc.

♡ Two week after your puppy finishes their last round of puppy vaccines, socialization is their main priority. Getting your puppy into new environments around people and other dogs will help them feel more comfortable ☆ but make sure not to force your puppy through anything they're uncomfortable around since this can make them more anxious than they already are!

♡ Puppies around 3 to 4 months are able to train for longer sessions allowing you to tackle commands.

♡ You may have heard that once puppies reach that one year mark, they may need to be retrained and that's somewhat true. Around this age, puppies tend to be a bit more rebellious and that's why consistency is key in getting your dog to listen to you!

If you have an older dog, don't let that discourage you from training! Training can start at any age and with consistency and positive reinforcement, they'll ultimately improve and alleviate any behavior issues they have and keep them safe!

This week is Vet Tech Week! 🐾
You may encounter our technicians during tech appointments, or you may receive a call from them after a procedure, or maybe they'll bring your furry friend up after their long day at the hospital! But the truth is...these amazing women aren't always the face of our hospital, but they're definitely the backbone!
From blood draws to administering vaccines, medications, aesthesia to surgery prep to inoperative and post-op monitoring to dentals to radiograph imaging to wound care to discharge....you get the idea. The list could go on, we'd like to thank our wonderful Veterinarian Technicians this week and always for all they do! 💙
