17.01.2022 It's REALLY important for cats to be given optimum litter tray facilities. So what do we need to consider? SIZE - Bigger is better! Many litter trays sold i...n the shops are too small for your average kitty. The ideal size is 1.5 times the length of a cat from its nose to the base of its tail - that's pretty big! NUMBER - The ratio of trays should ideally be one per cat plus one spare. This is because cats like to have the option of using a clean tray if one is dirty (or urinate in one tray and defecate in another) Providing the correct number of trays also means a different tray can be used if access to one is blocked LOCATION - Litter trays should be located in quiet areas with easy access. Thoroughfares and busy areas are best avoided. Litter trays should not be lined up next to each other as cats just see this as one giant tray. Other cats may also block access to the trays if they are all located in the same area LITTER CHOICE - Each cat will have its own preference, but most cats like soft, fine litter (remember the cat's ancestry lies with the African wildcat, so they prefer soft, sandy substrates) Clumping litter is easier to clean out and scented litter and tray liners are best avoided COVERED OR UNCOVERED - Each cat had its own preference, but if covered trays are to be used the flap should be removed and the tray checked regularly. It's really easy to forget about cleaning out a tray if you can't see or smell it! CLEANING - Litter trays should be scooped out twice a day and fully cleaned out each week . Use soap and hot water to clean litter trays and avoid strong smelling products which can unpleasant for cats. NB: older cats may favour shallow or modified trays for easy access Reference: Carney, H., Sadek, T., Curtis, T., Halls, V., Heath, S., & Hutchison, P. et al. (2014). AAFP and ISFM Guidelines for Diagnosing and Solving House-Soiling Behavior in Cats. Journal Of Feline Medicine And Surgery, 16(7), 579-598. doi: 10.1177/1098612x14539092

17.01.2022 **ALERT** As the weather continues to warm up, we have noticed a significant increase in calls regarding pets ingesting compost. But did you know that your ...compost pile could be a serious hazard to your pet? Some pets (particularly dogs) are attracted to compost. Dogs will often put a lot of effort into trying to access compost and will readily eat it if given the chance to do so. So, what is the risk? Not only can compost contain certain discarded human food scraps which may be toxic to your pets, but it also encourages the growth of microorganisms that can result in serious complications when ingested. Mould can flourish in compost, and some strains produce toxins that are potentially life-threatening to our pets if eaten. These toxins, known as tremorgenic mycotoxins, stimulate the central nervous system resulting in profound tremors and convulsions. Clostridium botulinum is another microorganism that can grow in low oxygen environments such as compost. Ingestion of the botulinum toxin produced by these bacteria can result in a severe and persistent paralysis, known as Botulism. In its most severe form, botulism can cause paralysis of the respiratory muscles. Whilst botulism is rare, it is potentially life-threatening. If you are the owner of a mischievous pet and a compost pile, you need to put measures in place to ensure they cannot eat the compost. Compost bins that are secured with locking mechanisms work great. Other options may include fencing off the area or restricting your pets' access to that area of your garden. You should also avoid placing highly attractive food items into the compost, such as meat and dairy products. Please help us raise the awareness of pet poisoning by sharing this post with any pet-owning gardeners you may know, or to any Facebook gardening groups you may belong to. If your pet has ingested any compost, please call the Animal Poisons Helpline immediately on 1300 869 738 (AU) or 0800 869 738 (NZ) for advice, even if your pet looks well. Our service is free for all pet owners. For pet poison updates, sign up to our mailing list at animalpoisons.com.au/stay-up-to-date
