The charity said many people remained unaware of the severe risks to pets, posed by common foods and plants, popular at this time of year. While the toxicity of chocolate for dogs was generally well known, the Trust said a survey it conducted among dog owners showed 47 per cent were unaware that daffodils are poisonous to dogs if ingested. With daffodils in bloom at this time of year and many people keeping bunches of them at home, the charity is advising owners to keep them well away from dogs, as even the water in a vase can be harmful if consumed.
Veterinary and welfare manager at Dogs Trust Ireland, Niamh Curran-Kelly, said with Easter just a few days away “we are asking owners to be vigilant and keep any tasty, yet toxic treats, safely out of the reach of their dogs.
