It is the end of January which means Valentine’s Day is just round the corner. Aren’t you just excited and happy? But, don’t you think you are neglecting something important? Your dog’s health is actually at stake here!
Keep those roses at a safe distance
You may be elated to receive flowers from your loved ones, but then please do not scatter them here and there. Make it a point to keep those somewhere the dogs cannot reach. What if the dogs step onto the prickly thorns? Sometimes, an even worse case such as eating up the thorn which consequently leads to puncture also occurs.
Drinking is strictly prohibited for the dogs
Do you know that even the smallest quantity of alcohol can bring about severe consequences in your dog? You ought to be extra careful while drinking this Valentine.
A number of physical and as well as mental disabilities can be caused even if your dog licks off some liquor from the floor! These include
- Breathing problem
- Central nervous system depression
- Tremors
- Lack of co-ordination
- Coma
Chocolates are tasty but keep them away from your dog
Do you know that chocolates especially, dark chocolate is toxic to dogs? The caffeine-like ingredients contained in the chocolates will do no good to your dog’s heath. There is huge possibility that gastrointestinal problems along with hyperactivity, vomiting/diarrhea, elevated heart beat will occur.
Do enjoy to the fullest this Valentine’s Day but then play it safe when it comes to your dogs.
