🎄Christmas Tip 🎄
Did You Know Silica Gel Can Be Dangerous for Dogs?
With Christmas gifts arriving, it’s common to find those little silica gel packets tucked into packaging. While they’re great at keeping items dry, they can pose serious risks to your dog if swallowed.
Here’s why:
⚠️Toxicity: Some silica gel packets contain additives that can be harmful to dogs.
⚠️Choking hazard: The small packets can easily block a dog’s airway.
⚠️Dehydration: Silica gel absorbs moisture, which could lead to dehydration if consumed.
If your dog does manage to eat silica gel, contact your vet straight away for advice.
Be sure to safely dispose of any packets you find when unpacking or preparing gifts for wrapping, and keep them well out of reach of curious noses. Let’s keep our dogs safe this Christmas! 🐶❤️
