Many of us know that chocolate is toxic for our furry friends but did you know that #Daffodils are too?

Other things which can be toxic to dogs also include raisins, grapes, macadamia nuts and cooked meat bones.
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. Chocolate, raisins, grapes, macadamia nuts, avocado, cooked meat bones, and the sweetener Xylitol are just some of the foods that can be a health hazard for our furry friends. Hot cross buns, a popular treat at this time of year is one to be mindful of, as they contain raisins and of course, Easter eggs need to be kept well away from curious canines.
