LET DOGS BE DOGS

While it may be tempting to buy your pup something that’s highlighted on the shelves for humans, those products can often be unsafe for your furry best friend. Many human items, such as chocolates and cookies, can become toxic for your dog and cause him to get sick.

For small dogs, it is good to be cautious with what you give them so that it’s not too big for them. Furthermore, dogs are always after our love. You don’t even have to get them a gift, go for a walk, take a car ride, or play their favorite game.

THINGS YOU SHOULDN’T GIVE YOUR DOG

While we always have the best intentions for our pups, not everything good for us is good for them.

Chocolate

Chocolate contains caffeine and other substances that are harmful to dogs. Especially dark chocolate because it has a higher cacao percentage. Furthermore, even just a little bit can be life-threatening for a small dog.

Rawhide Chews

Rawhide chews can be very dangerous for your dog. Often they are treated with chemicals and can splinter. Furthermore, they can be choking hazards. It’s best to avoid them and offer safer chews like bully sticks.

People Food

While you may be tempted to give your dog something extra special to celebrate the holiday, it’s not always a good idea. Food prepared in restaurants may have seasonings or other ingredients that could be toxic to your dog. And if you cook at home, it might be too rich for your dog’s digestion and make them sick.

There are many different things you can get your dog for Valentine’s day, from treats and new toys to a trip outdoors. However, it is essential to be aware of what is safe and not safe for your pup to eat. If you aren’t sure if it’s safe or not, it might be better off just to skip that particular treat.

Remember, while the holiday is a time to show our love for others, it’s also an excellent opportunity to show some extra love to our pets.
