It’s great fun to make homemade salt dough ornaments to celebrate the season! But pets may confuse these common ornaments for tasty treats. Made from flour, salt and water, these festive crafts contain enough salt to cause serious health problems for curious pets. The high levels of salt can cause vomiting and pets can develop high levels of sodium in the blood leading to seizures. Keep ornaments out of your pet’s reach—even ones made years ago. If your pet eats even a small piece of a salt dough ornament, contact your VCA veterinarian right away.
