Summary
We’re joined by Blue Cross Vet, Paul Manktelow, talking about how to keep your dog safe this Christmas. We chat about why despite being super vigilant, every year many dogs become a veterinary statistic. It's estimated that 10 per cent of Britain's dogs see a vet over the festive season. Paul highlights the main toxic foods from raisins, dark ‘posh’ chocolate, poinsettias, decorations, wrapping paper, sellotape, cooked turkey bones, and onions, not to mention the stresses of visitors and over excitement if your dog isn’t used to busy households. Christmas is hard to imagine from a dog’s point of view with their olfaction and hearing so much more acute than ours. Paul talks through how best to avoid your dog as a natural born scavenger and opportunist becoming a veterinary statistic this Christmas. Follow Paul and the Blue Cross on Instagram.
