Urgent warning to dog owners over common household item that could kill your pet

She said: "So I just ask that, in honour of my boy Petey, you be extra careful."I pray none of you ever have to experience your heart breaking this way."Vet influencer @bitesizedvetguides claimed she had witnessed several animal deaths that were caused by plastic food bags."The bag collapses around your pet’s head and they can’t get it off.The vet advised owners to take a pair of scissors and split the empty bags once finished with them.

A spokesman said: "Many of these bags are made from a strong mylar-like material which helps keep snacks fresher. "When a curious dog puts his head into the bag looking for leftover crumbs, the bag creates a vacuum-like seal around the dog’s neck."When a dog cannot remove the bag from his head, he will usually start to panic, desperately running around until he collapses and dies from asphyxiation, often losing his bowels, as well."
