Happy Easter from all of us at Animal ER of the Western Slope . Here are some tips to help keep your 4-legged friends safe this holiday!

1: SAY NO TO EASTER GRASS

Easter grass can make a basket really pretty but it’s irresistible for dogs and cats. They love to chew on it and if ingested it can be dangerous. Use tissue paper instead or if you do use Easter grass, keep those baskets out of reach of your pets.

2: KEEP CHOCOLATE AWAY FROM PETS

Chocolate contains theobromine and can cause hyperactivity, seizures, and an elevated heart rate in dogs. Keep the Easter stash hidden and away from your dog.

3: SUGAR SUBSTITUTE XYLITOL IS TOXIC TO PETS

Candy that has the sugar substitute xylitol, a sweetener, is toxic to dogs and cats. It’s often found in candy, gum, and some baked goods. If your pet ingests it, a drop in blood sugar can occur and cause problems such as seizures and liver failure. You may have to put your dog in another room while the kids celebrate Easter and dive into that basket of candy and chocolate.

4: EASTER LILIES ARE TOXIC TO CATS

Easter lilies are very pretty but cats have a tendency to chew on them. These flowers are toxic to cats and can cause vomiting and lethargy. Hopefully your cat doesn’t jump on every surface in the house and you’ll be able to find a nice spot for the flowers. But if not, it may be best to avoid having Easter lilies in the house to keep your cat safe.

5: TABLE SCRAPS CAN BE HARMFUL TO PETS

Table scraps from dinner can be bad for your pet. The ingredients, spices, and fat content can make your pet ill, upset their stomach, or cause other problems such as obesity and behavior problems. Remind your family and guests to not give any food to the dog. If your dog does beg, you may need to crate your dog during dinner or have him hang out in another room with a toy or Kong with some treats to distract him.

Raisins
Both raisins and grapes can cause kidney failure in pets. Offer your dog a baby carrot as a treat instead.

6: DON’T LOSE TRACK OF WHERE YOU HIDE EASTER EGGS

Real or fake eggs might be mistaken as a treat or toy by your dog. If your dog eats or chews on a fake plastic egg, it can cause intestinal problems. Real eggs that have been forgotten during an Easter egg hunt can spoil and if your dog finds them a few days later and eats them, expect an upset stomach. Keep track of the number of eggs you hide in your yard and where they are to gather up any undiscovered ones after the hunt is over.

As always, if you need us, we are here 24/7 through the holiday weekend.

Happy National Pet Day🐾🐶

Let's see your furkids! Post them in the comments!

With summer approaching, we wanted to remind people that heartworm and tick season are upon us. We have seen an increase in tick borne illnesses in the state of Colorado, so we are excited to announce we now carry Simparica Trio! If your pet hasn't been tested for heartworm in a couple of years, let's get them in and test them, and you can pick up their meds for the year!

We wanted to reach out and let everyone know we were not notified about save this life's change in status. If you have gotten a microchip through our clinic you will want to register your pet through Find pet, which is a free registry that is in the national database. We are also looking for other alternatives.
