When it comes to candy, be sure to keep it out of reach from your furry friends. Chocolate contains toxic compounds and can stimulate the nervous and cardiovascular systems leading to seizures, heart arrhythmias, vomiting and even death. Raisins can cause your pets’ kidneys to fail. Caramel can lead to diarrhea and pancreatitis. Even the candy wrappers can make them sick. Eating foil and plastic wrappers can cause bowel obstruction which could lead to surgery.
Veterinarians say even well-behaved pets can become overwhelmed this time of year, but following these simple steps can help prevent the stress and keep them safe. Experts say it’s a good idea to make sure your dog or cat has proper ID on them in case they get away. Also, keep the 24-hour ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center hotline handy at 888-426-4435. If you suspect your pet has eaten something that’s bad for them, call your veterinarian or the Poison Control Center immediately.
