💥‼️ WARNING for all dog owners & dog carers. Read on....
❄️ Winter is here and the roads are been gritted, if you walk your dog on gritted roads/paths please make sure that their paws are washed post your walks.
‼️ Every year hundreds of pets throughout the country become seriously ill and in some cases die because of the rock salt and antifreeze being used during the cold snap. Dogs and cats walk through the substances left by gritters trying to clear roads and car drivers defrosting their windscreens and then licking them off their paws.
‼️ Consuming rock salt can cause dehydration, liver failure and pancreatitis, while antifreeze contains the chemical ethylene glycol, which can be lethal when ingested.
Please share for awareness! 👍
