Spring
- Check for ticks after countryside walks
- Keep chocolate Easter treats well out of reach
- Watch out for spring bulbs like daffodils — they're toxic to pets
Rosie's tips
Happy pets, every season.
British weather keeps us on our toes. These simple tips help your dog or cat stay safe and comfy all year round.
Season by season
Summer
- Walk early morning or evening on hot days
- Test pavements with your hand for five seconds
- Never leave pets in cars, even briefly
Autumn
- Avoid conkers, acorns and fallen fruit
- Use a reflective lead as nights draw in
- Plan ahead for fireworks with a cosy hideaway
Winter
- Wipe paws after walks to remove grit and salt
- Keep antifreeze locked away — it's very dangerous
- Older pets love an extra blanket by the radiator
