Here’s how to protect your pets","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":525,"description":"\nColorado is known as a very dog-friendly state. A recent study by Colorado State University noted that if you’re a pet owner in this state, there’s an 80 percent chance that pet is a dog.    \n\nColorado is also known for being one of first states to legalize cannabis.  \n\nBut the high number of dog lovers plus the state’s long history of legal weed appear to have created a growing trend that worries veterinarians. As cannabis has become more widespread – and more potent – there's been a significant uptick in veterinary emergency calls for dogs who have ingested marijuana. The problem is complicated by edibles – which can be very enticing to a dog.  \n\nBoulder-based journalist Kate Ruder recently wrote about this for the Colorado Sun. She joined Erin O’Toole to discuss the symptoms to watch for, and what veterinarians advise if you think your dog may have eaten cannabis. \n* * * * *\n\nSign up for the In The NoCo newsletter: Visit KUNC.org\nQuestions?
