Crazy to believe we are already coming around to celebrating Easter. The Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns are out in full at the supermarkets and nearly all of us will be spending this long weekend at home with our pets.
Although of all of these extra yummy treats are delicious for us to enjoy, it’s very important to remember they are not safe for our pets. Dogs and Cats alike are very good at sniffing out treats hidden on the bench or some have even worked out how to get into the cupboards. So be sure to remember the toxic foods that MUST be hidden away where your pets can’t reach them.
