COMPARE the Market, an Australian price comparison site, is urging pet owners to be extra careful with what they feed their pets during the upcoming Easter holiday.
Although many families enjoy chocolate and other Easter treats, such as hot cross buns and party food, these items can be deadly to pets.
Over half of Australians admit to struggling with paying bills, which could leave pet owners struggling to pay for emergency medical care if their pets become ill. Many Easter foods, including chocolate, lollies, and hot cross buns, contain ingredients that are harmful to pets.
Other seemingly harmless treats, such as sausages, can also harm pets. To avoid financial strain and harm to pets, Compare the Market advises pet owners to ensure their pets’ vaccinations are up to date and to seek appropriate pet insurance.
