Winter is just around the corner, it’s important for pet owners to be aware of the dangers at home Lucky for you, we’ve compiled a list of some hazards to be on the lookout for!
Chocolate
Halloween is officially over and that means that chocolate will be readily available. Be sure to keep your furry friends away from the trick-or-treat stash!
Compost Bins/Piles
Composting areas should never contain meat or dairy products, and should be fenced off or otherwise made inaccessible to protect pets and wildlife from harmful mould and parasites.
Mushrooms
Newfoundland and Labrador is home to many species of mushroom, but not all of these are edible! In fact, some can be harmful, even fatal, if ingested. If you notice your pet has eaten some mushroom, it’s important to bring them (and the remnants of the mushroom your pet has eaten) to a veterinarian ASAP.
Rodenticides
As homeowners prepare to winterize their homes and properties, it’s important to keep in mind that many rodent poisons are also harmful to pets.
