The Easter holidays are a time for being with loved ones and eating delicious foods. However be aware that the things we enjoy are not necessarily safe for our pets:
Easter Lilies - ALL parts of any Lily are EXTREMELY toxic to cats and can cause kidney damage and failure. It's best to not bring lilies into the household if you have cats.
A few common toxic or dangerous foods:
Chocolate - Chocolate is toxic to our pets. The amount required to cause severe signs, and even death, varies depending on the concentration of cocoa, the amount ingested and the size of your pet. Keep your chocolate hoard safely stored! If your pet eats any chocolate it is best to seek immediate veterinary attention.
Onions - Onion ingestion can cause your pet's red blood cells to be damaged and burst, a serious condition called haemolytic anaemia. Watch your dog around the barbecue!
Grapes and Sultanas - Sultanas are commonly found in hot cross buns this time of year. Ingestion of grapes or sultanas can cause kidney damage and failure in dogs. Some dogs are much more sensitive to the toxic effects of ingestion than others.
Macadamia nuts - Ingestion in dogs can cause vomiting, weakness and tremors.
Cooked bones - Never feed cooked bones to cats or dogs. As most of the moisture content has been cooked out of the bone, they are more likely to splinter - causing oral or internal damage, and also the risk of severe constipation or even a blockage.
Fatty, oily or rich foods - Sausages and fatty off-cuts can cause a very bad tummy upset in our pets and even contribute to developing pancreatitis - severe and painful inflammation of the pancreas, which requires prompt treatment at the vet.
Xylitol, (aka Food additive E967 or 967) is an artificial sweetener found in a wide range of low sugar/sugar free products from candies and chocolates to baked goods, yoghurts, juices, chewing gum and more. Ingestion can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) within 30 to 60 minutes of being eaten. This can result in weakness, being uncoordinated, collapse, seizures, and in severe cases jaundice and bruising due to liver failure.
Stay safe, and we wish you a peaceful and relaxing holiday break! ❤️
