Bones can be hazardous to your pet! Yes, dog bones are common treats seen in pet stores. However, that doesn't mean it's safe to give your pets just ANY bone. Those left over bones, especially cooked ones, can be extremely hazardous to your pets! Bones can become brittle, splinter, and pose a choking hazard to your furry loved one. They can possibly get stuck in their stomach's too! Bone fragments can interfere with their bowel movements, cause constipation or even…
Watch the treat bowl! Candies, baked goods, and human food can be very toxic to pets. Especially chocolate and xylitol which are common ingredients in many candies. Keep all treats in a spot where your pet can’t reach. Be careful with costumes. Not all pets enjoy wearing a costume. Make sure your pet is comfortable and watch for signs of anxiety. They should have no obstructions blocking their sight, no dangling objects they can swallow, make sure they can easily…
