Preparing for a big New Years Eve party tonight? Parties are a very common time for our pets to get their paws on something they shouldn't. Whether it's rooting through a guests handbag or helping themselves to party snacks or unattended drinks, your pets may be getting up to mischief while you are distracted by the festivities.
Alcohol poisoning can occur in pets that have helped themselves to unattended alcohol and can cause drowsiness, low body temperature, low blood sugar and coma.
Party snacks can contain a variety of hazardous substances including onions, garlic, raisins, xylitol (in some sugar free foods) and chocolate. Keep these treats out of your pets reach and watch out for well-meaning guests handing them to the dog!
Fireworks can also be problematic for pets at this time of year. As well as being frightened by their loud noises, dogs can ingest fireworks found in the garden or parks. Used big display fireworks and unused domestic and display fireworks can contain potentially toxic components if ingested.
Animal PoisonLine and VPIS are here 24/7 for advice should any mishaps occur.
We would like to take the opportunity to wish you and your pets a very Happy (and toxin-free) New Year!
