🚨 Dog Safety Alert! 🚨
While it might seem like a fun treat, giving your dog bones (like those from the pet store) can actually be dangerous! 🦴⚠️
❗ Why they’re risky:
They can get stuck: These bones can get themselves caught around the canine teeth and stuck around the lower jaw. This can create a stressful experience, and in most cases, require sedation to remove the bone. Here we see a kiddo who had to make a trip to Urgentvet to have her bone removed.
Choking hazard: Bones can break apart, leading to choking or blockage in your dog's digestive system.
Sharp edges: If a bone splinters, it can cause internal injuries to your dog's mouth, throat, or intestines.
Tooth damage: Hard bones can crack or break your dog's teeth, leading to painful dental issues.
✅ Safe alternative:
Opt. for rubber chew toys that are designed for safe chewing.
Always supervise your dog with chew toys to prevent accidents.
Your dog’s health is priceless! 💙 Keep their playtime fun AND safe! 🐾 Should you need anything, Urgentvet is here for you every day of the year!
