1. Eating those Mary-Jane Leaves or Buds
Yep, eating raw marijuana (including medical marijuana) will make your dog high. Keep your weed stashed away somewhere your pets can’t snuffle it up.2. Inhaling Second Hand Smoke
Leaving joints burning in the same unventilated room as your dog can make them high. Keep your dog away from second-hand smoke. It can cause problems quickly for brachycephalic breeds, like the pug and exotic shorthair cat, who have a hard time breathing anyway.3. Eating “Special” Brownies, Butter or Other Food Laced with Weed
These are doubly bad. Not only is the weed dangerous for your dog, but the other ingredients in baked goods (from chocolate to butter) can cause serious damage to your dog, even in small amounts.Signs Your Fido Got into Your Stash and is Now a Very High Dog
