Pets Easily Spooked at Halloween
Vets are offering advice to prevent pets being frightened this autumn.

With Halloween and Bonfire Night coming up, autumn can be action-packed for humans - but frightening for pets.

Pets commonly suffer from noise phobia and Halloween can be a very distressing time. And with up to 80% of pet owners reporting that their pet is afraid of fireworks, Bonfire Night - following closely on the heels of Halloween - only adds to pets' anxiety.

Irish vets are advising pet owners on measures to keep their pets safe this autumn. Animals can react badly to excessive noise and it is a common time of year for pets to go missing or to be injured on the roads.

Veterinary Ireland has come up with tips for owners to keep pets calm. Click here for their advice.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
