‼️RAWHIDE DOG TREATS ARE DANGEROUS .‼️
Pets at Home, B & M, Home Bargains and cheap shops are full of them for XMAS.
! PLEASE WARN PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT KNOW THE DANGERS AND TO CHOOSE RAWHIDE FREE DOG TREATS!
Please do not buy. Throw them away if your dog gets one as a gift. Giving rawhide to a dog is never a good idea.

Many of these so called treats end up with the dog “enjoying” some time in a veterinary surgery over Christmas. The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China.

The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulfide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white “pure” look and remove the rancid smell.

Now comes the pretty festive colors and the glue to form cute shapes. On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium and formaldehyde.

If that wasn’t bad enough, they regularly cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue and choking. The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.

🎄✨ Did you know? Some dogs are absolutely captivated by the magic of the Christmas tree! 🐾🎅

From the twinkling lights to the shiny ornaments, our furry friends can’t help but be curious about this festive centerpiece. While it’s adorable to see their excitement, it’s also important to keep them safe during the holiday season. Here are a few tips to ensure your Christmas tree is pet-friendly:

1️⃣ Secure the Tree: Make sure it’s stable and won’t tip over if your pup decides to give it a sniff or a playful nudge.
2️⃣ Skip the Tinsel: It’s eye-catching but can be hazardous if ingested. Opt for safer, pet-friendly decorations.
3️⃣ Choose Safe Ornaments: Avoid fragile glass or small items that could be mistaken for toys.
4️⃣ Mind the Cords: Keep electrical wires and light cords out of reach to prevent chewing accidents.
5️⃣ Keep Gifts Safe: If you’re using edible treats as gifts, place them higher up to avoid temptation.

5️⃣ Keep Gifts Safe: If you use edible treats as gifts, place them higher up to avoid temptation., and plenty of wagging tails. 🐶✨🎁

Over-indulgence is commonplace over the holidays, and while we can decide whether we really need a bit more cake, our pets will often accept whatever’s on offer.

However, some foods we have around at Christmas pose significantly more danger than an upset stomach; so it’s important to keep them out of paws reach!
