If you receive a letter from Humberside Police it’s just regarding gun security stuff and probably a notice that they plan to visit your house. Nothing to get bothered about. Remember that nobody, including your wife / son / daughter or parents must know where you keep your security keys. Make sure that if they think they might know where you keep them, that they DO NOT tell anyone who visits your house. Sort this out now – before anyone visits. See B.A.S.C website for more.
For part of the 50 Years celebration the club put on a Barbeque for members, children & friends, There was a Bouncy Castle for the kids which was busy all afternoon giving their parents a break and opportunity for a relaxed chat. The club is making a donation of the £5 per head ticket fee to the St Andrews Children’s Hospice.
Sugar-Free Items Containing Xylitol
Even the most knowledgeable pet owners may not have heard about this very dangerous hazard. Xylitol, an artificial sweetener in products like sugar-free gum, candy and mints, causes a sudden release of insulin in a dog’s body that leads to serious low blood sugar. It can also cause liver damage. Xylitol acts fast— you could see vomiting, lethargy and other signs of poisoning in less than 15 minutes. If left untreated, the condition can be fatal. Make sure your dogs don’t have access to sugar-free baked goods or open purses containing sugar-free gum and mints.
Raw Salmon
This contains a parasite which can be lethal to canines so make sure any salmon is well cooked.
Chocolate
Potentially deadly to dogs especially puppies. Products containing chocolate include substances called methylxanthines that can cause vomiting or even death. The darker the chocolate, the worse it is, but it’s best to avoid it completely and not take any risks. If you want to give your dog sweet treats, buy them from your local pet shop.
Milk and cheese
Many dogs are lactose intolerant because they lack the enzyme needed to break down milk sugar. This causes gastrointestinal pain, diarrhoea and vomiting, which can lead to your dog being dangerously dehydrated if you don’t take it to the vet. Cheese is very high in fat and, if eaten in large quantities, can lead your dog to develop pancreatitis, which will soon result in death.
Alcohol
Giving your dog alcohol is a bad idea. This poison shouldn’t be inflicted on your pet: too much alcohol could lead to vomiting, breathing problems and death.
Grapes and raisins
They’re healthy for us, but grapes and raisins can increase urination and induce vomiting in your dog. In severe situations, too many grapes or raisins will become poisonous, bringing on life-threatening kidney failure. Symptoms show about 24 hours after they’ve eaten the fruit, but if you suspect your dog or pup has eaten too many take them to the vet immediately. Apart from poisoning, there’s also the risk of choking as your dog won’t be used to chewing and swallowing smaller items of food.
Onions and Garlic
Can be deadly to your labrador, whether they’re raw, cooked or even dried. They can cause the destruction of red blood cells and lead to anaemia, which can be life threatening. Symptoms of onion poisoning include lethargy, weakness, red urine and pale or bluish gums.
Various Nuts, Turkey & Chicken Skin, Green or Sprouting Potato Skins, Avocados, Apricot and Peach stones, Apple Pips, Sultanas, Tea & Coffee, Green Tomatoes & Plants, Rhubarb leaves, any food containing Artificial Sweetener – xylitol / aspartame etc.
