Feature your pet on Easter decoration
Most of us love to decorate our homes for Easter. Whether that’s with chocolate bunnies and eggs, fresh flowers and plants, or specially crafted decorations.

Keep chocolate and some spring plants out of your pet reach

Easter chocolate is dangerous for your dog. Dark chocolate is more toxic than milk chocolate. Make sure that all chocolate eggs and bunnies are kept away from your dog. Methylxanthines, which are present in chocolate and include agents like caffeine and theobromine, are extremely toxic to dogs and cats. Ingestion of chocolate can result in vomiting, diarrhoea, hyperactivity, seizures, increased heart rate and potentially death. Xylitol, a sugar substitute found in certain lollies and other sweet goods, is another extremely dangerous ingredient to be mindful of.
In addition, hot cross buns shouldn’t be fed to your pets as they contain raisins, which are potentially harmful.
Daffodils, tulips and other spring bulb plants are common sights in many gardens and homes at this time of year but these plants can make our four-legged family members very sick if ingested (even if they just drink the water from a vase or pot base containing certain bulb plants). If you see your cat licking the flowers, seek medical attention immediately. The vet can induce vomiting and give activated charcoal to bind poisons in the gut. Kitty will most likely need IV fluids to flush the kidneys.
Pups playdate
