The autumn walk with a dog in nature is a refreshing change for many of the breeders on hot summer days, when they preferred to stay in the shade with their four -legged pet. Colorful trees, smell of wet ground, cooling forests – all this is a caress for the soul. But beware of the set dangers.
Going with a dog for a long autumn walk is something that we are looking forward to the whole week. It is not just relaxing and stretching the body, they are also together for moments that strengthen the coherence of our family “pack”. To make your animal safe, it is necessary to watch some of the pitfalls that are waiting for it at this time. Seemingly it does not have to be anything special, but the dog can even become life of the breeder’s inattention.
Chestnuts are useful for children to play (as shown by the following video), forest animals love them, but the dog is dangerous:
Don’t believe just dog intuition
What is it about? The dog is curious by nature and sniffs, or even tasted, a lot of “interesting” things. Do not believe that the dog will not spill anything that could hurt him. Although nature is wise, pets have been domesticated for millennia for millennia their original instincts. In addition, everyone can make a mistake. Therefore, it will be good if they are under constant supervision.

The acorns are very dangerous
The first threat lurking on dogs in this period is acorns. Dogs are very popular with them without realizing how dangerous it is for them. The high content of toxic tannins can seriously damage their kidneys and liverto the extent that leads to the failure of the aforementioned organs. Seded fruits often lead to intestinal impassability.
Watch the first symptoms of poisoning
Problems caused by the acorns are recognized by anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea and overall lethargy of the animal. Sure: these are symptoms that can have a lot of causes – but that is why we definitely do not underestimate them and prefer to find with our four -legged friend as soon as possible good veterinarian.
Avoid chestnut alley
Anyway, we should behave if the dog seems to be “some strange” after we walked through the chestnut alley. Although these trees are quickly abandoned by the chestnuts, there are still places where we meet them. Although the chestnut is not primarily poisonous, it can cause intestinal obstruction that leads to the death of the animal in extreme cases. Therefore, avoid risky places and definitely do not throw the dog randomly found chestnuts for the pleasure of aport.
The dog does not know the poisonous mushrooms
Autumn is also a period that mushroom pickers love. Small and larger fruiting bodies appear not only in the forest, but also on meadows or along the roads. It is enough to eat only a small piece of poisonous mushrooms to make the next hours fight for his bare life.
For example, the toadstool green irreversibly damages the liver and kidneys, and its danger is multiplied by the fact that the symptoms will show up to several hours after poisoning, when it is too late to save the dog. Here too, there is nothing to wait for any negative health changes, the opinion and the veterinarian’s opinion are necessary.
Do not hesitate to help the dog
What to do if you get suspicion of poisoning or other problem? Do not induce vomiting in any case without consulting a veterinarian. Some poisonous substances can also harm the “return path” and damage the esophagus. Likewise, vomiting is dangerous in the case of impassable digestive tract. Therefore, immediately look for a veterinarian and remember the way to the office, where you went through and what the dog could eat. Every such small thing can be important for its rescue.
