Now that everyone has way too much candy in their homes, let’s recap some of the many reasons we should keep it all away from our fur-kids:
- Chocolate, raisins and xylitol are all toxic to our pets! Chocolate can cause gastrointestinal disturbances, cardiac arrhythmias and neurological symptoms; raisins can cause acute kidney failure and xylitol can cause acute liver failure!
- Often, our pets are no good at moderation and eating lots of fat and sugar-filled candy can cause some pretty impressive gastrointestinal disturbances, but also trigger more severe issues like pancreatitis.
- The wrappers can lead to physical irritation and obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract.
