Dog owners, beware. The only thing spookier than a haunted house is that your favorite treats can harm your dog. From chocolate to xylitol in other candies, the sweets we love are a major danger for your pet.
So while you enjoy the festive parties and trick-or-treaters, remember this list of what to avoid to make sure your Cujo is safe and sound.
Chocolate: Theobromine found in this classic candy can be especially harmful to dogs by stimulating the central nervous system and heart. Symptoms may include vomiting, diarrhea, and restlessness.
Xylitol: Often found in sugar-free gum, hard candy, and lollipops, this ingredient can trigger a rapid insulin release in your dog, causing a drop in blood sugar levels, which in turn could result in liver failure.
Other Scaries: Common snacks like raisins, grapes, and processed junk foods (along with wrappers) are also detrimental to your dog for their ability to cause gut distress.
