🐣🍫Keep CHOCOLATE away from your pets this Easter 🍫🐣
Chocolate is toxic to dogs and care should be taken so they don’t accidentally ingest it.
The darker the chocolate and the larger the quantity eaten, the higher the risk of toxicity, especially with lower body weight dogs.
Mild signs of toxicity include vomiting and diarrhoea; while severe toxicity can have effects on the heart and result in tremors and seizures.
Chocolate should also be kept away from cats and small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs. If you are doing an Easter Egg Hunt, make sure all chocolate eggs are found, otherwise they will be sniffed out by your precious pets thinking they are a harmless treat!
❤️Later on in the week, vet Simon will discuss the dangers of chocolate for your pets in our next Vet Talk video.❤️

Did you submit on the city council's long-term plan?
Hamiltonians have spoken out on the council’s budget plans with the city’s massive proposed rates hike a lightning rod for residents already struggling with rising costs.
With more than 3000 submissions landing on the Hamilton City Council’s Draft Long Term Plan the hot topic is unsurprisingly the proposed 19.9% rise, which itself lands in a cost of living crisis and limping economy.
Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?
A group of Hamilton business owners have started a petition to stop the council from hiking up rates and passing the cost of what they say are unpopular projects on to residents.
It frustrates longtime residents Tom Andrews, a former roading engineer who owns Classics Museum and has property interests and Jo Reeder, to see Hamiltonians facing large bills.
