As Easter approaches, many of us are preparing for family gatherings, chocolate egg hunts, and outdoor fun. But while this holiday brings joy and treats for humans, it can pose hidden dangers for our furry companions.
Chocolate Eggs & Bunnies: Not So Sweet for Pets
Itās no secret that chocolate is toxic to dogs and cats. The culprit is theobromine, a substance found in cocoa that our pets can't metabolize effectively. Even small amounts can lead to symptoms like:
Vomiting & diarrhoea
Rapid heart rate
Seizures
In severe cases, even death
Easter celebrations often involve an abundance of chocolate eggs, foil-wrapped bunnies, and baked goods ā all of which can tempt curious noses. Whatās more, xylitol, a sugar substitute found in some sweets, is extremely toxic to dogs and can cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar or even liver failure.
Easter Basket Hazards
It's not just the food that poses a risk. Many Easter baskets are filled with artificial grass, plastic eggs, or small toys ā all of which can be choking hazardsĀ or cause intestinal blockagesĀ if swallowed.
If you have little ones at home, itās all too easy for a pet to snatch up a dropped chocolate or toy in the excitement of the day.
