Our pets are curious by nature — but that curiosity can quickly turn dangerous. Kaylah, an Emergency Veterinary Technician from MedVet Vancouver, advises how to keep your pets safe by watching out for common choking hazards, including:
⚠️ Small toys or toy pieces
⚠️ Bones (especially cooked ones!)
⚠️ Rawhide and other chews
⚠️ Household items like socks, hair ties, or bottle caps
⚠️ Fast eating — consider a slow feeder bowl
If your pet is coughing, pawing at their mouth, drooling excessively, or struggling to breathe, they may be choking and need immediate care. ⏱️
