A common use of the leftovers carcass is putting it out for the wildlife.

First of all its not good for them but lets look at what can happen if your dog gets hold of it.

CHOKING

Bone fragments are a choking hazard, potentially blocking the dog's oesophagus and restricting their breathing. Especially when a dog tries to eat quickly.
If your dog is choking, gagging, retching, drinking a lot of water, licking their lips, pacing anxiously or is unable to sit or lie down comfortably, call your Vet 🚑

GASTROINTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION

These fragments can get stuck and cause dangerous gastrointestinal blockages requiring surgery 🚑

PERFORATIONS AND TEARS

Turkey bones break easily into shards that can puncture the stomach and intestines leading to peritonitis and can be life threatening.🚑

PANCREATITIS

High fat foods like the turkey skin etc can cause inflammation of the Pancreas causing Pancreatitis.
Most cases need immediate medical attention. Acute pancreatitis symptoms can include distended, painful abdomen, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhoea , dehydration, and yellow greasy or foamy stool.
It can be life threatening 🚑

SALMONELLA

The carcass can also create dangers as it may harbor salmonella, an organism that lives in the turkey’s intestinal tract.
If the carcass sits out at room temperature for too long, the bacteria will multiply, and pets can become violently ill from eating it. This can happen feeding the giblets too if not fresh 🦠

CONSTIPATION OR DIARRHOEA

Eating too much bone can cause digestive issues including constipation or the opposite, diarrhoea which may need Veterinary intervention.
If your dog produces black faeces, call your Vet as this can be a symptom of internal bleeding

BONE BROTH

You could use the carcass and make a great healthy bone broth for your dog 🐶

Quick update!

Firstly, I’ve started cutting back some of the overhanging branches, these will be cut/moved as/when possible, so you may see some around the perimeters from time to time.

Secondly, I’m taking quite a few phone calls regarding bookings (or lack of available bookings!) so I’ve updated our ‘How to book’ information in the hope this helps everyone.

Thirdly, we have 9am tomorrow morning (Thursday) now available - book online!

Lastly, January is currently fully booked with the exception of 9am on 30th. Some pre booked sessions do often get rescheduled so for the latest availability, keep checking our website.

Thank you as always for your custom. 🐾🐾
