Vets have issued a stark warning to dog owners to remain on high alert this autumn following concern about a 'mysterious seasonal illness' affecting dogs after woodland walks. This comes as owners increasingly search for 'Seasonal Canine Illness' (SCI) on Google, whilst others seek answers about their pets ' concerning symptoms on social media platforms. ‌

One worried Reddit user posted: "We have a 14-month-old golden retriever who we have had since he was 12 weeks old. Since October, earliest I've noticed, he has been biting and itching his paws excessively to the point of bleeding sometimes." ‌

The owner was encouraged to take their dog to the vets for a check up - while others urged them to look into 'Seasonal Canine Illness'. ‌
