Happy Halloween! 🎃
🎃🍫 We felt like today was a good day for a reminder about snacks that are good for humans, but not for our pets! Before your pets get into your trick-or-treat stash, here are a few things to keep in mind!
🚨 Halloween hazards to watch for:
🍫 Chocolate: Dark chocolate and baking chocolate are especially toxic, but ALL chocolate can be dangerous.
🍬 Sugar-free candy: May contain xylitol, which can cause dangerously low blood sugar and liver damage in dogs.
🍇 Raisins: Can cause kidney damage in dogs.
🍭 Candy wrappers: Can cause choking or intestinal blockages.
🐾 While this is not an exhaustive list, if you think your pet has eaten something they shouldn't have, don't wait for symptoms to appear!
Contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary hospital right away.
As always, AAVEC is open 24/7/365 for all your dietary indiscretion needs.
Have a safe and happy Howl-o-ween! 👻❤️
