🎃🍫 HALLOWEEN PET SAFETY: KEEP THE TREATS AWAY FROM PAWS! 🐾👻
Halloween is just around the corner! While we're enjoying delicious treats, it's important to remember that some of our favourite Halloween goodies can be dangerous for our furry family members. 🐶🐱
🚫 🍫CHOCOLATE IS TOXIC TO PETS
Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which dogs and cats cannot safely process. Ingestion can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, restlessness, and even seizures.
🚫 🍬 LOLLIES & SWEETS
Some sugar free lollies and chewing gums contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that can cause liver damage in dogs. Cats can also become unwell from eating inappropriate sweets, and sugary treats are best avoided altogether.
🚫 🍭 DON'T FORGET THE WRAPPERS
Lolly and chocolate wrappers can cause choking or intestinal blockages if swallowed. Keep lolly bowls, treat bags and Halloween goodie bags well out of reach!
🐾 KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE THIS HALLOWEEN 🐾
🎃 Store all sweets and chocolates in sealed containers.
👻 Remind children not to feed treats to pets.
🍬 Keep trick or treat bags off the floor and away from curious paws.
🧡 Make sure your pets have their own pet safe treats to enjoy!
🚨 WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOUR PET EATS CHOCOLATE OR LOLLIES?
Contact your veterinarian immediately. Don't wait for symptoms to develop, If possible keep the packaging so your vet can identify the ingredients and estimate how much was eaten.
Even small amounts of certain ingredients can be dangerous, depending on your pet's size and what they've eaten.
🎃 Let's make sure Halloween is full of tricks, treats and happy tails without an unexpected trip to the vet! 🐾
🧡Have a safe and happy Halloween! 🐶🐱
