Keep Your Dog Safe This Easter
Easter is a great time for family, fun...and treats!
But while we're enjoying chocolate eggs and sweet treats, it's important to remember that many of these can be dangerous for our dogs.
🚫 Chocolate is toxic to dogs- even small amounts can cause vomiting, restlessness, or more serious issues. The darker the chocolate, the more dangerous it is🍫
⚠️ Watch out for other hidden risks:
• Raisins and grapes (in hot cross buns)
• Xylitol: a sweetener is sugar free treats
• Foil wrappers and packaging
• Rich fatty foods that can cause an upset tummy
• Lilies: beautiful flowers but toxic to our dogs
👍 Top tips to keep your dog safe:
✅ Keep all treats well out of your dog's reach
✅ Remind children not to share chocolate with dogs
✅ Use safe, dog-friendly treats instead
✅ Provide enrichment (snuffle mats, chews, training games) to keep your dog entertained
💡Remember- your dog doesn't know it's a "special occasion"- they just know that everything smells delicious
If you think your dog has eaten something they shouldn't have, contact your vet immediately
Have a safe and happy Easter
