Oh how you love to make your Granny’s rhubarb pie. It’s almost like she’s back in the kitchen with you working out the dough.
After picking some fresh rhubarb up at the market, you are headed home to make some pie. Your furry best friend is close behind you, can you offer her some rhubarb for the walk home?
No, rhubarb is toxic to dogs. Rhubarb leaves contain oxalate crystals and oxalic acid which are toxic to pups. The acid binds your pup’s calcium, causing low blood calcium, ultimately leading to kidney failure.
If you suspect your pup has eaten rhubarb monitor for signs of toxicity including drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, tremors, lost appetite, and bloody urine. Should these symptoms arise, contact a vet immediately.
If your dog has only a bite of the rhubarb stalk, it is likely fine, but still monitor your pup for adverse signs, and contact a vet should any arise.
To ensure your pet will live a long and healthy life, it is always a good idea to invest in pet health insurance. Preparing for the unexpected guarantees money is never an issue in keeping you pup healthy.
