Things That Can Be deadly!

Things to be Aware of:


ROCKING CHAIRS: While comfortable for you, these things are deadly. I have had 2 pups killed when puppy wanted to play around their owner’s feet and got under the rocker. It’s not something we would even think about if not brought to your attention, accidents can and do happen. 


People Food:  especially fatty and processed foods. Grease left and the dog got into it. I recently had a call from a distraught owner. She was cleaning her oven and pulled out a tray she had cooked chicken on and forgot about. Unthinking she placed it within reach of her little Shih Tzu and proceeded to clean her oven. The little guy smacked his lips and licked it clean. A few hours later she found him lethargic, vomiting, and lying on the floor in a huge puddle of blood. 
An emergency visit to her vet, and weeks of treatment did save his life. However, his life will never be the same. His gastrointestinal process will never be the same. 
Please please please ensure you keep greasy and fatty foods away from your dog. Google pancreatitis in dogs and read how you can actually harm   or kill your dog. Most people just don’t realize, and of course your dog will try to eat anything you eat! 


Rawhide: the treat that kills. I have a video on how they make this killer treat posted to the website. Would you like a “treat” that had the chemicals and offal, and parts of the animals that are useless literally cleaned off the slaughterhouse floor and made into a bleached hide? 
Many dogs have died when the rawhide could not be broken down in their stomach and caused blockages or simply rotted there.


XYLITOL: Diet sugar substitute, goes by other names as well. A piece of xylitol diet gum can drop a small dog in 20 minutes. Symptoms mimic other health concerns and the time spent by a vet trying to figure out whats wrong with the dog can cost your baby his/her life. Watch the ingredients in peanut butter, energy bars, and much of what is considered to be diet foods.
