Fall in San Antonio brings cooler temps, crunchy leaves, and pumpkin-spiced everything, but it also introduces some sneaky dangers for our pets. At Broadway Oaks Animal Hospital<\/a>, we want you and your furry companions to enjoy the season safely. Here\u2019s a quick guide to the most common autumn pet hazards to be aware of this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Poisonous Mushrooms for Dogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fall is the peak season for wild mushrooms, and while not all mushrooms are harmful, some can be highly toxic. Poisonous mushrooms for dogs can cause symptoms ranging from vomiting and diarrhea to seizures and organ failure. Our warm fall weather creates ideal conditions for mushrooms to thrive in parks, yards, and hiking trails. If you see your dog munching on a wild mushroom\u2014or if you suspect your canine companion has sampled the local fungi\u2014contact us immediately. A small taste can have big consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodenticide Poisoning in Pets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cooler temperatures send rodents searching for shelter, leading many homeowners to set out rat and mouse bait. Unfortunately, this increases the risk of rodenticide poisoning in pets. These substances are extremely dangerous to both dogs and cats, even in small amounts. Depending on the type of rodenticide, it can cause internal bleeding, kidney failure, or neurological damage. Always keep pest control products well out of reach, and opt for pet-safe alternatives when possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
