Often our dogs love our food as much as we do. The problem is that some of our foods can be poisonous to our animals, and even small amounts can sometimes be a toxic level, causing serious problems and in some cases death.

Some common foods that can be poisonous for our pets include onions, raisins and grapes, chewing gum and chocolate (of all kinds, not just dark chocolate!). Many are included commonly in the food we eat and are often around the home. Some medicines such as ibuprofen are also poisonous, so we would advise only giving medication recommended by a vet.

If you have any concerns that your pet may have eaten something it shouldn’t it is always best to call us and speak to one of our vets. If it is toxic quick action can often make the biggest difference and provide the best outcome. If you unsure if something they have eaten is a problem, it is always best to ask.

If you need us just give us a call 24/7 on 01606 880890.
