Halloween Pet Safety Tips

These tips are provided by VESCONE Animal Hospital in Waltham

Happy Halloween!

Don't let a fun night turn into a scare. Show your pets how much they are appreciated by keeping them safe this Halloween.

Pet Safety Tips

Even if Fido does tricks - no treats! Chocolate, in all forms, is toxic to dogs as well as cats. Symptoms
of significant chocolate ingestion may include vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, increased thirst,
urination and heart rate - and even siezures.

Keep an eye out for foil and cellophane wrappers. If these are ingested by your pet they can become a
choking hazard or cause an intestinal blockage.

Keep cords and wires from decorations out of reach from your pets. A wagging tail or a curious kitty
could knock a jack-o-lantern over causing fire and/or injury to your pet.

Costumes are cute but not meant for all pets. If your pet isn't in love with dressing up let them go "au
natural." With all the trick or treaters and festivities of the night there is no need to add undue
stress on your pet.

Keep nervous or anxious pets away from the front door during peak trick or treat hours. With all the
excitement, various costumes and strangers coming to the door it can be scary, confusing and stressful to your pet.

Be careful when opening the door to give out treats - you do not want your pet running off into the night.

Keep IDs on your pet, even if they are typically removed at night. If, for any reason, your pet escapes
and becomes lost, a collar and tags and/or a microchip can increase the chances that he or she will be
returned to you.

If you are hosting a party make sure all food and alcohol is located out of your pet's reach. Unless
your pet is super friendly it may be better to keep it in a separate room with appropriate treats and ample water.


VESCONE is a 24-hour emergency and specialty hospital providing pet owners comprehensive coverage, advanced veterinary medicine and caring professionals. We are easily accessible from Route 95 and are located at 180 Bear Hill Road in Waltham—directly across from Pizzeria Uno.

Urgent- new home or foster home needed

Good news! Sadie has found a foster home!



Will you give me a second chance?

Sadie is a 9 year old, spayed female Miniature Pinscher looking for someone to give her a second chance at life. Sadie is a loving, loyal little girl who has been my constant companion for the last nine years. Sadly due to unforseen circumstances (losing my job and losing my housing), I am being forced to find her a new forever home. Sadie is a larger-type Min Pin, she weighs 20 lbs and stands 13 inches at the shoulder. She loves sleeping in bed, under the covers, or laying at your feet. She has lived with cats and did quite well, and is living with another dog at the moment. However, typical for her breed, she can be a bit bossy with other dogs and therefore would do best as the only dog in a home, or with another submissive dog. I feel that Sadie would do best in a home with older children or no children as she does not appreciate small inquisitive fingers poking and prodding her.

Sadie is in excellent physical health, and does not act her age! She is up to date on her distemper, bordatella (kennel cough) and rabies vaccines until fall 2012. She had a physical exam and wellness bloodwork (including negative heart-worm test) completed in June and all test results were normal. I have all her medical records, as well as, a 6 month supply of Science Diet dry dog food and 12 months supply of both Frontline topical flea & tick medication and Heartgard chewable heartworm preventative for her. She has completed beginner level agility and was awarded her Canine Good Citizen Title in 2004.

I never thought that I would be forced to give up my best friend, but life is not always kind, as I have sadly realized. I love Sadie with all my heart and want to find someone who will love and cherish her as much as I do. Can you give Sadie a second chance at life?

Pet Emergency Preparedness Tips

From http://www.ready.gov/ :

Preparing Your Pets for Emergencies Makes Sense. Get Ready Now.

1. Get a Kit of pet emergency supplies.
Just as you do with your family’s emergency supply kit, think first about the basics for survival, particularly food and water.
. Food: Keep at least three days of food in an airtight, waterproof container.
. Water: Store at least three days of water specifically for your pets, in addition to water you
need for yourself and your family.
. Medicines and medical records: Keep an extra supply of medicines your pet takes on a
regular basis in a waterproof container.
. First aid kit: Talk to your veterinarian about what is most appropriate for your pet’s
emergency medical needs. Most kits should include cotton bandage rolls, bandage tape
and scissors; antibiotic ointment; flea and tick prevention; latex gloves, isopropyl alcohol
and saline solution. Include a pet first aid reference book.
. Collar with ID tag, harness or leash: Your pet should wear a collar with its rabies tag
and identification at all times. Include a backup leash, collar and ID tag in your pet’s
emergency supply kit.
. Important documents: Place copies of your pet’s registration information, adoption
papers, vaccination documents and medical records in a clean plastic bag or waterproof
container and also add them to your kit.
. Crate or other pet carrier: If you need to evacuate in an emergency situation take your pets
and animals with you, provided that it is practical to do so.
. Sanitation: Include pet litter and litter box if appropriate, newspapers, paper towels, plastic
trash bags and household chlorine bleach to provide for your pet’s sanitation needs. You can
use bleach as a disinfectant (dilute nine parts water to one part bleach), or in an emergency
you can also use it to purify water. Use 8 drops of regular household liquid bleach per gallon
of water, stir well and let it stand for 30 minutes before use. Do not use scented or color safe
bleaches or those with added cleaners.
. A picture of you and your pet together: If you become separated from your pet during an
emergency, a picture of you and your pet together will help you document ownership and
allow others to assist you in identifying your pet. Include detailed information about species,
breed, age, sex, color and distinguishing characteristics.
. Familiar items: Put favorite toys, treats or bedding in your kit. Familiar items can help reduce
stress for your pet.

Consider two kits. In one, put everything your pets will need to stay where you are and make it on your own. The other should be a lightweight, smaller version you can take with you if you and your pets have to get away.

2. Make a Plan for what you will do in an emergency.
Plan in advance what you will do in an emergency. Be prepared to assess the situation. Use common sense and whatever you have on hand to take care of yourself and ensure your pet’s safety during an emergency.

Evacuate. Plan how you will assemble your pets and anticipate where you will go. If you must evacuate, take your pets with you, if practical. If you go to a public shelter, keep in mind your pets may not be allowed inside.

Secure appropriate lodging in advance depending on the number and type of animals in your care. Consider family or friends outside your immediate area who would be willing to take in you and your pets in an emergency.

Other options may include: a hotel or motel that takes pets or some sort of boarding facility, such as a kennel or veterinary hospital that is near an evacuation facility or your family’s meeting place. Find out before an emergency happens if any of these facilities in your area might be viable options for you and your pets.

Develop a buddy system. Plan with neighbors, friends or relatives to make sure that someone is available to care for or evacuate your pets if you are unable to do so. Talk with your pet care buddy about your evacuation plans and show them where you keep your pet’s emergency supply kit. Also designate specific locations, one in your immediate neighborhood and other farther away, where you will meet in an emergency.

Talk to your pet’s veterinarian about emergency planning. Discuss the types of things you should include in your pet’s emergency first aid kit. Get the names of vets or veterinary hospitals in other cities where you might need to seek temporary shelter. Also talk with your veterinarian about microchipping. If you and your pet are separated, this permanent implant for your pet and corresponding enrollment in a recovery database can help a veterinarian or shelter identify your animal. If your pet is microchipped, keeping your emergency contact information up to date and listed with a reliable recovery database is essential to you and your pet being reunited.

Gather contact information for emergency animal treatment. Make a list of contact information and addresses of area animal control agencies including the Humane Society or ASPCA and emergency veterinary hospitals. Keep one copy of these phone numbers with you, and one in your pet’s emergency supply kit.

Obtain “Pets Inside” stickers and place them on your doors or windows, including information on the number and types of pets in your home to alert firefighters and rescue workers. Consider putting a phone number on the sticker where you could be reached in an emergency. And, if time permits, remember to write the words “Evacuated with Pets” across the stickers, should you evacuate your home with your pets.

3. Be Prepared for what might happen.
Some of the things you can do to prepare for the unexpected, such as assembling an emergency supply kit for yourself, your family and your pets, is the same regardless of the type of emergency. However, it’s important to say informed about what might happen and know what types of emergencies are likely to affect your region. Be prepared to adapt this information to your personal circumstances and make every effort to follow instructions received from authorities on the scene. With these simple preparations, you can be ready for the unexpected.

Those who take the time to prepare themselves and their pets will likely encounter less difficulty, stress and worry. Take the time now to get yourself and your pet ready.
