WITH piles of leaves to sniff and play in, cooler temperatures and muddy puddles galore, what dog doesn\u2019t love autumn walkies?<\/strong><\/p>\n

But pet owners are being urged to watch out for potentially dangerous hazards lurking on pavements and in parks and woodland.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nutritionist Alison Frost warns seasonal plants, foliage and seeds can be toxic to pooches – and in rare cases, deadly.<\/p>\n

Here Alison reveals the autumnal dangers all dog owners ought to be aware of.<\/p>\n

Acorns<\/h2>\n

Alison, lead nutritional advisor at ProDog, says: \u201cToxic ingredients like tannins, which are considered antinutrients, reduce the body\u2019s ability to absorb essential nutrients from food.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’m a vet & there are three things you should never give your dog<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a vet – there are two dog breeds that have the most medical issues<\/h3>\n

\u201cIn dogs, tannins can cause digestive issues, pain, and damage vital organs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs green acorns specifically contain high levels of tannins, they should be avoided.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conkers<\/h2>\n

Collecting conkers is a nostalgic childhood pastime – and you could be doing dog owners a favour by picking them up off pavements.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Alison says: \u201cThe seeds in conkers contain a toxin called aesculin, which can make your dog sick or give them an upset stomach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhilst conkers have a bitter taste that can deter dogs from eating them, don\u2019t use them as a toy, making them attractive to your dog by kicking or throwing them.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf eaten in larger amounts, aesculin can cause serious side-effects; in rare cases, they can even be deadly.\u201d<\/p>\n

She adds that conkers can result in choking, whilst easily blocking dogs\u2019 intestines.<\/p>\n

Wild mushrooms<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

While some types of wild fungi are edible, it\u2019s often difficult to tell which varieties are poisonous and which aren\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alison says: \u201cIf your dog eats an unknown fungus, it could make them unwell.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSome types may only cause mild stomach upset, whilst others can ignite more serious issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese toxic effects can materialise in just minutes, take a few days, or, in some cases, present themselves weeks after consumption.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you think your dog has eaten wild mushrooms, Alison recommends calling your vet, taking a photo of the mushrooms and, if you can, take one with you to the vet for identification.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She adds: \u201cThe worst wild mushroom type is the Death Cap, an unremarkable-looking woodland mushroom which is thought to be responsible for more poisonings than any other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fallen fruits and berries<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

As temperatures begin to cool this autumn, lots of trees will start to drop their fruits and berries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some seeds, berries, pips, and fruit stones contain toxins that make your dog ill.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alison says: \u201cThe most dangerous berry-bearing plants are Deadly Nightshade, with its shiny black berries, Cuckoo Pint – which produces spikes of orange-red berries – and mistletoe, all typically found in woodland areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese fruits can make your dog unwell if they are eaten when mouldy, or after they\u2019ve begun to ferment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bulbs<\/h2>\n

A number of cultivated plants are toxic to dogs, including some that are grown to add a splash of autumn colour, such as amaryllis and hydrangeas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Autumn crocuses can also be dangerous if the bulbs are dug up and ingested.<\/p>\n

Alison explains: \u201cMany flowering bulbs are toxic to dogs; for example, daffodils and tulips are particularly hazardous.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf your dog shows any signs of poisoning after a walk, such as excessive drooling, vomiting, diarrhoea, shakiness, breathing problems, lethargy or seizures, contact your vet immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alabama rot<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Although quite rare, Alabama Rot – cutaneous and renal\u00a0glomerular vasculopathy\u00a0(CRGV) – is thought to be related to walking in muddy areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The deadly, flesh-eating condition – sometimes referred to as the "black death" disease\u00a0– causes problems with blood vessels in the skin and kidneys.<\/p>\n

The disease is fatal in nine out of 10 cases, and dogs of any age, sex, or breed can fall victim.<\/p>\n

It often first appears as unexplained marks, sores or ulcers, usually on a dog's legs or paws.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alison says: "To prevent your dog from getting ill, experts recommend that you either keep them away from muddy areas or wash and dry them thoroughly after muddy or wet walks."<\/p>\n
