The Dangers That Lurk in Your Easter Basket


Beyond the risks of sweetners and chocolates, there are plenty of risks in that sweet looking Easter basket. First up, those hardboiled eggs may taste fine to a pet now (dyed shells and all – yuck!) but, if he decides to bury it in the backyard and dig it up later, he can get very sick from eating those rotten eggs. What other threats lurk inside? Find out when you read more.

Small children's toys may also look like toys to a pet, too, but these fragile knick-knacks can wreak havoc on a pup's delicate tum. They're definitely not gonna hold up to his chompers and, if he gets plastic bits stuck inside, he may have to have surgery. Plastic eggs often smell of the treats inside tempting a pooch to take a nibble. And, if those treats are jellybeans, forget about it. Jellybeans are hard for many children to chew and can cause a choking hazard, imagine what it'd do to a pup.

Even though the paper grass pictured here is not as risky, the shiny, decorative Easter grass can lure in a curious cat, but pose the same problem as tinsel – strands can't be digested, get stuck in their intestines, and totally mess up the digestive system. If you're celebrating this holiday, I recommend not leaving the treats for the two-legged family members unsupervised from the furry friends. And, if you are hiding treats around the house, keep pets in another room and total up all the prizes after they're found to make sure none have been hidden too well for a person . . . but not for a pup's nose!

Marley update

Marley is doing a little bit better this weekend, but he is not out of the woods yet. Keep your fingers crossed we will get some happy news tomorrow!

Marley


Marley came from Gallia and he has Lepto. This is a very serious virus that has a death rate higher then Parvo. Again a vaccine that costs $1.50 could have stopped this from happening. We are not sure if Marley will be able to pull through or not but we are praying he is ok.

Happy Tail




Happy Tail is one of our newest and luckily we got him from Scioto Co so he is still healthy!!
