Help Protect Our Wildlife from Suffocation!

Hats Off to The Royal Parks charity in London for highlighting the impact of discarded trash, litter, and food on wildlife as part of its ‘Help Nature Thrive’ campaign launched last summer. 

All pets are at risk of suffocation, but this problem affects our wildlife all over the world, too.⁣⁣ Animals and birds can get trapped or stuck inside chip bags, plastic bags, food bags, bottles, cans and containers and easily suffocate. Leftover food and plastic waste can also clog up an animal’s intestines ultimately leading to pain or death.   

The Help Nature Thrive campaign asks visitors to ‘leave no trace’ and to take their litter home or safely discard it before leaving the outdoor space. That is a wonderful credo for everyone to abide by when visiting parks, campgrounds, beaches, playgrounds, lakes, etc. 

We must all do our part in protecting our wildlife from the perils of suffocation. Most wild animals are alone in the wilderness and do not have anyone to readily help them.  ⁣

⁣Even if you’re not a pet owner, make sure that you’re still cutting up your chip bags, snack bags, pet food bags, and all other food bags before you dispose of them. Leave no trace! ⁣⁣Play your part in protecting our wildlife!

Prevent Pet Suffocation was founded almost a decade ago, and since then, we’ve been able to educate thousands of pet owners about the dangers of pet suffocation.⁣

⁣🚨 But our work isn’t done yet!⁣

⁣There are so many pet owners who aren’t aware of the many household food packaging items that could end their pet’s life from suffocation within minutes.⁣

⁣So, how can you help? By getting involved and giving back on #GivingTuesday, this November 30th.⁣

⁣Share a post, spread the word, post our infographics in vets’ offices, host a personal fundraiser on Instagram or Facebook, or simply make a donation using our Donate button on our website. Every penny counts and will help us continue to save the lives of pets everywhere!⁣

Happy Halloween from Prevent Pet Suffocation! 🎃👻⁣

⁣Here are a few things to remember as you celebrate tonight: 

⁣⁣⁣👻 Costumes – Though it’s fun to dress our pets up in costumes, make sure your pet is comfortable in the costume before Halloween. Ensure there are no choking or chewing hazards on the costume your pet may ingest and that their hearing or vision is not inhibited by the costume.   ⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣🍭 Candy – Yum! Just make sure your pet has no access to the candy and treats especially if they include xylitol, chocolate, nuts, or raisins, which are very toxic to animals.⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣🎃 Decorations – Festive decorations like pumpkins, gourds, fake spider webs, burning candles, glow sticks, and loud scary noise makers can also tempt or scare your pet. Always keep an eye on them! ⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣🍬 Candy Bags and Treat Bags – To prevent pet suffocation, keep all candy bags and food bags safely out of reach of your pets. Cut them up and safely discard them. Pets can suffocate within minutes once they put their head in a bag. Make sure your children are aware of these dangers, too, and that their Halloween loot is safely stored away from your furry family members. ⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣Have a very happy and safe Halloween!
