Yearly Halloween Reminder with some important information:
With Halloween right around the corner don’t forget about
Fido. Doorbells ringing, children in
scary costumes, candy everywhere, loud noises, and all these things can be a
danger to your pup.
Some dogs get stressed out during the day from the doorbell
constantly ringing, if your dog is one of these pups consider perhaps having
them come for the day for daycare 9am-6pm or stay overnight for a boarding
stay.
Remember to make sure that all candy is a safe distant away
from dogs. Many of our sweet delicious
treats are hazardous to our pups can in fact cause them to become extremely
sick.
Xylitol is a 5-carbon sugar alcohol used as a sweetener that’s
in sugar-free gums, candies, and baked goods.
When a dog ingests Xylitol it can cause vomiting, collapsing, loss of coordination,
seizures, and in severe cases liver failure.
It many cause symptoms will develop within 15-30 minutes of ingestion. However sometimes symptoms can be delayed for
up to 12 hours.
