🚨 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐀𝐈𝐃 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐒𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐃𝐎𝐆’𝐒 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 (𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬!)🚨
Archie’s mum just went through a scary (and expensive!) weekend after he swallowed something he definitely shouldn’t have. 😬
We’ve shared this before — but clearly it’s time for a reminder, because knowing this trick means you can act fast before anything blocks your dog’s bowel.
Here’s exactly what to do if your dog ever eats something they shouldn’t — whether it’s a toy, chocolate, or even slow-release fertiliser 👇
🧂 QUICK ACTION PLAN:
1. Make a Salt Ball – Pour table salt into your palm (around 4 cm wide).
2. Add Honey – Mix in a few drops of honey until it forms a sticky ball.
3. Give It to Your Dog – Pop the salt ball into their mouth, gently close it, and lift their chin so they swallow.
4. Wait 1–2 Minutes – They should start vomiting soon after. The salt reacts with their stomach acid and helps bring up whatever they’ve swallowed.
💡 Why it helps:
This trick can help your dog bring up the object quickly — before it causes a blockage or needs emergency surgery.
And yes… it’s something we’ve done countless times in real situations — it’s quick, simple, and could save you thousands in vet bills.
Archie’s feeling much better now (thankfully!). ❤️
