Bee Stings

Spring and Summer are the most common times for bee stings. The flowers out which mean the bees are out. Bee and wasp stings can be very dangerous to out pets.

Signs of a sting:
• Swelling around face and muzzle
• Swollen foot or sore paw
• Breathing problems

If your pet experiences any of these symptoms, seek veterinary attention immediately.

Prevention:
• Keep grass short
• Remove any unwanted weeds with flowers
• Remove bright-coloured objects or old bones in the yard as insects tend to hang around them
• If you see a bee or wasp, call your pet away
