Dangerous Plants for Dogs #10 - Christmas Trees (Australian Pine Trees)

Worried about the Christmas Tree you just bought?
 
Well while your doggo would need to eat a large number of pine needs before they show any signs of toxicity. There are greater issues that your real Christmas Tree may cause. The greatest danger posed actually comes from the container that your Christmas tree stands in. This is because it normally stands in some sort of water. The water may grow different types of bacteria or even mold.
 
And of course worse still, when the plant was grown or was even sitting at the retailers it was probably sprayed with chemicals to make it look better for longer. Those chemicals of cause will end up in the water which your doggo may drink. If you notice signs of vomiting, gastro or even lethargy contact your Vet immediately.
 
And of course their are the needles themselves. They can be hazardous by lodging in your dogs’ mouths, paws and skin. The needles can get trapped and cause serious discomfort and even pain. Signs that your dog is having a reaction to the needles may include, tenderness when walking or sitting, swelling and rashes.
 
To avoid these issues take great care to sweep near the tree regularly or gate off the Christmas tree so your dog can't get near it.
 
And of course if your poor dog already has a skin rash as a result of exposure then Itchy Bark from the Coco Kaboo is our all natural treatment product that will help elevate this quickly and without any nasty chemicals. Just $27.95 plus postage.

Most dogs love to run and play in the yard, but for some with grass allergies summer is horrific.
Symptoms can vary from dog to dog, but in most cases you will see extreme itchiness as a primary symptom. Your dog may lick, bite, and scratch their skin to the point of causing injury, infection, and hair loss. The areas that are most likely to be affected are your dog’s head, face, armpits, abdomen, and feet. It is not unusual to see a dog with grass allergies licking or gnawing on their paws.
Though less common, dogs suffering from grass allergies may also exhibit sneezing and red, weepy, or irritated eyes.
If you do figure out that your dog has a grass allergy, don’t worry -- it’s not all doom and gloom. He some helpful hints:
1. Keep Your Lawn Mowed and Avoid Tall Grasses
2.Limit Time Outdoors During Pollen Season
3.Wipe Down Feet and Legs
4.Omega-3 (Fish oil) and Omega-6 Fatty Acids to help with inflammation; and of course
5. Use our all natural treatment oil Itchy Bark like little Zoe's mum did. An amazing result that even steroids could not resolve previously.
