Your weekly reminder not to add these to your Christmas shopping lists this year - (or EVER)! 🎄
Although rawhide chews come in lots of fun shapes and sizes, your dog can easily chew off and swallow large pieces, leading to a potential choking hazard or intestinal obstruction. What’s even worse is how rawhide is created: rawhides are a by-product of the leather industry and are often washed and sterilized with a variety of (often harmful) chemicals, such as sodium sulfide, lime, chromium salts, bleach, and hydrogen peroxide. It is then molded and dyed to form what you see in pet stores today.
Please avoid them at all cost, no matter how pretty they market them! ☠️

⚠️ Ataxia

⚠️ Hyperthermia
⚠️ Depression

In severe cases, these nuts can lead to paralysis within just 12 hours. 😰 Let's keep our dogs safe and opt for dog-friendly alternatives. Check out more details here: https://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/try-these-peanut-butter-alternatives-for-dogs/

Long nails create potential issues for animals — a splayed foot, reduced traction, deformed feet, and even injured tendons over time. When long nails hit the ground, it puts force on the foot and leg structure. This force can potentially lead to arthritis and ongoing pain.
Regular nail trims - every 4-6 weeks are highly recommended 🐱🐶

🐶🐱 A number of major 𝐩𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 providers - including Woolworths, Medibank, Bupa, HCF, Woolworths, Petbarn, Guide Dogs and the RSPCA - have been banned from selling these policies for 21 days after an ASIC review found they were promoting products that may not have properly considered the financial situation of customers.

"In particular, in defining the target market, it appears that the insurers did not properly consider the requirement for consumers to pay for veterinary expenses in full and upfront before receiving a partial reimbursement under a claim," said ASIC.
