Easter is a fun time for families, but it can also bring a few hidden dangers for our furry friends. Here are some quick tips to help keep your dog safe over the long weekend:
🍫 Keep chocolate well out of reach
Chocolate is toxic to dogs, and with Easter eggs hiding around the house and garden, it’s easy for curious noses to find them. Make sure all treats are stored safely and keep an eye out for any missed eggs after the hunt.
🌸 Beware of lilies and other toxic plants
Many popular Easter flowers — especially lilies — can be harmful if chewed or swallowed. Keep bouquets and decorations up high.
🧺 Watch the wrappers
Foil, plastic grass, and small decorations can cause blockages if eaten. Dogs love the crinkly sound, so keep bins secure.
🍖 Avoid giving leftover roast bones
Cooked bones can splinter and cause serious internal injuries. Stick to dog‑safe treats instead.
🚗 Travelling this Easter?
Make sure your dog is safely secured in the car and has plenty of breaks, water, and shade.
🏡 Staying with a minder?
If your dog is spending Easter with one of our wonderful minders, rest assured they’ll be cared for in a safe, loving home — no crowds, no kennels, just one‑on‑one attention.
