If you own a pet, especially a dog, you know they require a lot of time and energy. That’s why some people looking to celebrate 420 with their pups and Rover is here to help.

Everyone has a different way of celebrating 420 and honestly, that’s up to you. You could be looking to smoke, eat something or make something to celebrate. I’m highly sure you’ll have a great time.

If there’s one thing you shouldn’t do on 420 though, it’s share with your animals, especially your dog. Thankfully, Rover was happy to share a link to their recent post about some safety tips to adhere to if you’re looking to celebrate.

While 420 isn’t technically a holiday, it’s good to know that there are some facts to share if you’re looking to partake with your pet around.

Rover is here to help you and your pups have a happy 420 this year.

You can view the full post on Rover’s website, but I just wanted to share some tips for those who are looking to celebrate. Of course, the main takeaway is not to allow your dog to ingest any of it so make sure to keep those things out of your pup’s reach. I’m sure most who are partaking will be anyway but that’s a major tip to keep in mind.

Another thing to note is that if your dog does end up ingesting some of it, you should try to induce vomiting immediately. As evidenced in the post, this should be done within 30 minutes as THC does have an anti-nausea property in it. If you aren’t able to do that, it’s best to just head to the vet and let them handle it from there.

Regardless, this is worth keeping in mind before you decide to celebrate 420 with your pets around. While the effects can work on humans, they don’t work the same on dogs and can cause your pup to have breathing problems, loss of balance, and others.

All in all, it’s best to be safe than sorry when partaking in your 420 celebrations. Bottom line is to keep it to yourself and don’t try to share it with your pup. As long as you keep that in mind, you should have a great time. Then again if you do need a sitter for the day, it doesn’t hear to look around Rover if you want to be extra safe.
