Dog Tips

  Treats are often used as a way to show our dog that they are loved. The wrong treats though, can be deadly. Foods such as chocolate, raisins and macadamia nuts are toxic to dogs. Be certain to place candy dishes, Easter baskets or cookie platters out of the reach of your dog. Store any leftover treats in a secured container inside of a cabinet at night. One easy rule to avoid disaster is to remember that you would not eat dog food, so don’t feed people food to your dog!
