🐣🍫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.❤️
🩺Should your pet accidentally consume any amount of chocolate, please contact us straight away on 07 8492963 if we are closed contact Waikato After Hours on 07 8395656 for advice and treatment.🩺
The table below is a guideline only, please contact us if your pooch has eaten any amount of chocolate.
❤️Keep your fur kids safe this Easter❤️

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
