Dangers to your Dog at Easter.

1/4/2025

0 Comments

 
It's important to be aware of the dangers surrounding our pets as we welcome in the bunny and chocolate season for Easter.

Chocolate

We all know it, chocolate is toxic to our dogs and pets. It's important to make sure all your eggs from your Easter Hunt are accounted for before allowing your pets access to the area they were hidden in. Their noses will find them much faster then our eyes! Always make sure chocolate is stored very high and out of reach of your pets!
To better understand chocolate toxicity, visit our blog here! 

Foil

Thankfully, foil is not toxic to dogs, however, this very enticing wrapping that smells and tastes like chocolate can be very easy to grab from the ground or the bin. Although it should just pass through your dog's digestive system, it could cause a stomach upset or in the worst case become stuck or damage the digestive system as it passes through. Foil and chocolate packaging should be stored and disposed of in the same way chocolate would be. 

Hot Cross
Buns

The variety of dried fruit within hot cross buns, including sultanas, raisins and currents can, even if only a small amount is eaten, can kidney failure which can be fatal. These should never be offered to your dog and should never be within their reach. 
You can learn more about the risk of raisins and grapes at our blog here! 

Spring Bulbs

A variety of lovely spring bulbs are very toxic to our dogs, including daffodils,
amaryllis, tulips and rhododendrons. It best to avoid these plants in your garden if your dog is a digger or known to chew on plants.
If at any time you are concerned that your dog has digested something they shouldn't have or they are showing any signs of being unwell, it's best to have them checked by your vet. Early intervention is the best chance of recovery that they have. Along with your regular vet, you should always have the details of your closest emergency 24/7 vet on hand should you ever need them after hours or on a public holiday, such as over the Easter long weekend.

Dog Easter Biscuits

Want to keep your pooch included in the Easter fun this weekend? Why not get together with the kids (big and little kids!) and make some yummy Easter Biscuit Dog Treats?!

What you will need:
1 and ¼ Cups Rice Flour
2 Free Range Eggs
2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
¼ cup Whole Wheat Flour

Want to decorate with icing?
Yogurt Drops
Natural Food Coloring

Time to cook!
  1. Whisk eggs and set aside.
  2. Combine rice flour and coconut oil in a bowl. Once combined add the eggs and mix to form a dough.
  3. Slowly add the whole wheat flour in small portions and knead with your hands until your dough reaches a non-sticky consistency that can be rolled out. You probably won’t need all the flour to do this depending on the size/quality of your eggs used.
  4. Split your dough into two sections. For each section roll your dough into a ball and place on a sheet of baking paper. Slightly flatten the dough and place another sheet of baking paper on top. Then roll your dough to around ¼ inch thickness.
  5. Repeat for the second section of dough and place both sections of rolled dough on a cutting board and leave in the fridge for 20 minutes. This chills the dough and makes it easier to cut designs that hold their shape.
  6. Remove both sections of rolled dough from fridge. Using an oval cookie cutter, cut out the biscuits and place on lined baking trays. Repeat until dough is finished (you don’t need to re-refrigerate the dough). If you don’t have time for icing your biscuits later, you can use a baking skewer now to draw decorations into your biscuits or stamp them with designs.
  7. Pop your cut out biscuits on their trays into the freezer for 30 minutes. This will prevent them from spreading when baking.
  8. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
  9. Remove biscuits from freezer and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden. Place on baking rack to cool.

Yummy!

Keeping your pets safe this Easter

Crazy to believe we are already coming around to celebrating Easter. The Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns are out in full at the supermarkets and nearly all of us will be spending this long weekend at home with our pets.
Although of all of these extra yummy treats are delicious for us to enjoy, it's very important to remember they are not safe for our pets. Dogs and Cats alike are very good at sniffing out treats hidden on the bench or some have even worked out how to get into the cupboards. So be sure to remember the toxic foods that MUST be hidden away where your pets can't reach them.

  • onions, onion powder & garlic
  • coffee or caffeine products (possibly present in desserts or chocolate treats)
  • avocado
  • grapes, raisins, sultanas, currants
  • nuts
  • unripe tomatoes
  • mushrooms
  • xylitol (sugar substitute found in some products such as some types of sugar-free chewing gum, lollies, baking goods) 
  • and of course - Chocolate! (Carob is safe for dogs)
