Pass this on!

(Psssst.....pass it on!)
SALT DOUGH ORNAMENTS ARE TOXIC TO DOGS
Not all dog-owners are aware of this danger. Often, families will make these ornaments as a holiday activity together, or they will come home from school with the kids. Some people make paw prints in salt dough as keepsakes.
They are made from flour, water, and lots of salt, and dogs may be tempted to eat them like a cookie. You think they taste terrible, but that does not stop some dogs from ingesting them. Same holds true for craft-dough which has a lot of salt too.
Best to keep them out of the home if you have pets, or, at least, way out of reach, but why take chances.
Excess salt intake in dogs results in vomiting within several hours of ingestion. There is great thirst and urination. The clinical signs of salt poisoning can progress to weakness, diarrhea, muscle tremors, seizures, coma. Depending on the size of the dog and the amount ingested, it can result in brain damage, organ failure, even death, or the heartbreaking decision to euthanize.
If ingested, contact a vet immediately; this could qualify as an emergency, and make sure to relay how much dough was eaten and that the vet clinic understands right off the hop that it was not a typical cookie or regular dough eaten, but salt dough with a high concentration of salt.
Be aware. Be safe.

A much-loved dog becomes a family member. But when getting a 4-legged friend, you should take many factors into account, including the life expectancy of your chosen breed. Because some breeds live less than 10 years, while others can live for as long as 20 years.
