It is a very special and important time for families but it is also one of the most dangerous times of the year for your pets.
Easter egg hunts are so fun for children, there is great excitement in the house - please ensure your animals donโt get hold of eggs or chocolates during the hunt or after when items you hid so well are only found days later but your pet!
