You can dress your dogs as the Easter bunny for the holiday, but be sure to keep them far away from the egg hunt.
It’s commonly known that chocolate can be fatal if a dog gets ahold of it, but new data shows that chocolate poisoning in dogs nearly doubles during Easter time.
“A dog’s acute sense of smell means they can sniff out even the best hidden treats, as these worrying statistics show, so it’s vitally important that owners remain vigilant.” Chocolate is toxic to dogs because it contains a chemical called theobromine as well as caffeine, which dogs don’t metabolize as easily as humans.Research also found that 40% of dog owners are worried about how they’ll care for their four-legged friends if the cost of living increases.
“Not only can chocolate poisoning be extremely expensive, it is also incredibly upsetting for dogs and their owners. However, it can also be avoided as long as owners are vigilant and take the necessary precautions.”
