Lots to remember but very important to not forget!

🏡 KEEPING YOUR PETS SAFE AT HOME 🏡

Most pet owners know that chocolate is highly dangerous, even fatal to your beloved cat or dog.
But there are many other common household items which can also pose a hazard to your pets!

🍫 🌱 🧄 🧅 💊

Here are just some of the many items which can be found around your home which can be toxic to your pet:

🛑 Food - Onions, garlic, chives, leeks, tomatoes, nuts, raisins, grapes and sultanas, products with caffeine, fat trimmings, raw fish, fruit stones (can cause intestinal blockages) and xylitol sugar substitute which can be found in some chewing gums, lollies, drinks, toothpastes and baked goods are all toxic to our pets and all efforts to prevent them accessing these items should be made.

🛑 Medication - while we would never intentionally feed our pets medication intended for human use, we should also ensure they do not have access to these by accident. Some common household medication which is toxic to our pets are: Panadol (Paracetamol- particularly cats!) and Nurofen (ibuprofen). Additionally, pet medication should only be used as advised by your vet or the packages instructions e.g. some flea prevention treatments for dogs are highly toxic to cats.

🛑 Plants - there are a large number of common household plants which are highly toxic to pets, causing acute and potentially fatal kidney failure or other issues. A few examples of these common household plants are: lily's, aloe, devils ivy or wild mushrooms

🛑 Fertiliser - active steps to keep pets safe from fertilisers should be made as some types of fertiliser (like bone and blood meal) can cause significant gastrointestinal upset in your pet

🛑 Poisons & Insecticides - whenever using poisons & insecticides, such as rat or snail baits, all efforts should be made to ensure they are stored and used in areas where your pet cannot gain access at any time. Please also keep in mind that your pets can become poisoned if they eat a rodent who has been poisoned.

🛑 Other Items - some other items which can commonly be found around the home and are toxic to your pets are: coolant/antifreeze, ni****ne or mothballs

Our pets don't always know what they can and can't eat. So it's important that we keep toxic items locked away where our pets can't access them. Please be aware that the above list is not exhaustive, if you are unsure about whether an item is ok for a pet to consume, check with your local vet before feeding it to them. If poisoning or suspected poisoning does occur, it's always best to contact your local vet as soon as possible.

We hope the above tips will help keep your pet safe and sound at home!
