Today - I want to talk to you about a very serious emergency that is becoming more and more common. It is caused by what we call expandable water-activated glues. One common brand is called 'Gorilla Glue". This is a great product - works really well for gluing but is a disaster when ingested by dogs.

It becomes a rock hard mass that cannot be digested - vomited or passed on. The only option is surgical removal.

Some of the other common toxins and dangers to dogs include: antifreeze, grapes and raisins, food and gum sweetened with xylitol and human medications of all types - to name a few.

Please be aware of your environment and protect your precious dog from unexpected emergencies.

I hope this helps to keep your dog safe!
