There are a ton of matters in the world that just about everyone has to consider. Not dealing with just us as people, though, but our pets too. Keeping your pets safe is just as important as keeping the family safe. Plus, it’s always good to show a little bit of extra love along the way too. I have some information for you that you should consider looking over when it comes to the love and safety of your pets.
Protect Your Pups From It All
As pet parents, our hearts break when our furry loved ones get sick. While most instances of poison result in mild to moderate symptoms like discomfort, diarrhea or vomiting, some foods can cause significant health issues and even death. So, in honor of National Poison Prevention Week (March 18-24), there are some tips you should check out.
It’s been heard of that many household plants can have adverse effects on your beloved pet. Which is why it’s important to be aware of these things. Plus, there are stuff dogs shouldn’t eat like:
- Chocolate – Most pet lovers know that chocolate is a big no-no for Fido. Chocolate is harmful because of a toxic agent called theobromine, which can make your pup extremely ill and even lead to death.
- Grapes – A lesser known fact, grapes can lead to kidney failure in dogs. If you want to give your pup a sweet and healthy treat, opt for blueberries instead.
- Mushrooms – If you have a dog that spends a lot of time outside, it’s crucial to check your yard for mushrooms. There are many species of mushroom that are toxic to pets, such as the Amanita phalloides or ‘Death Cap’ mushroom, a potent poison at only 3 grams. Since there’s a multitude of other species that can harm your pet, it’s best to keep your lawn clean of any mushrooms just to be safe. If you suspect your pet has ingested a poisonous mushroom, take them to the vet and bring the mushroom so the clinic can identify what type of toxin or poison they are dealing with.
