While acorns and conkers are a seasonal snack for squirrels, they can be toxic to dogs.
Ingesting them may lead to serious health issues, including vomiting, diarrhoea, drooling, abdominal pain, lethargy and in some cases, dangerous intestinal blockages.
Many pet owners don’t realise the risks, especially during their Autumn walks. To keep your dog safe it is important to:
🍂 Supervise them closely outdoors
🍂Never encourage them to play with or fetch acorns or conkers
