Both indoor and outdoor plants can be poisonous to our pets. The symptoms of poisoning can range from mild to very severe, depending on the plant involved and how much has been eaten. Dogs and cats of all ages can be affected.
Autumn is a beautiful time of year for long dog walks. But during this time, some pet owners may find themselves worrying about their dogs’ eating habits.
In this article, find out why your dog might be eating leaves, what to do, and how to prevent it.
Conkers come from the horse chestnut tree and fall to the ground during autumn in the UK. These trees are common along streets and in parks too. Research indicates that there are almost half a million horse chestnut trees in Great Britain.Â
Autumn already!
And with October 31st just around the corner, it can mean only one thing… Pumpkins!
40 million of the orange icons will leave supermarket shelves in the weeks before Halloween.
But when it comes to our pets, are these orange icons ‘Ghastly gourds’ or ‘Superhero superfoods’?
Because whether it’s purloining peel, snaffling seeds or raiding the ready-meal-with-a-face (conveniently left out on the doorstep), many dogs (and more than a few cats) are going to be carving out some pumpkin panics for pet parents over Halloween.
Autumn can be a beautiful time of the year, but it is important to be aware of the dangers for our dogs and cats during these months.
Some of these risks are mild, such as skin allergies or certain parasites. Others can be more serious, such as eating poisonous plants or severe stress due to fireworks.
