THANKSGIVING DO's and DON'Ts
- posted: Nov. 25, 2019
Turkey time is upon us! It is time for feasting, family, and friends. As we enter this time, it is a good idea to remember our furry friends and their special needs.
DON'T SHARE FOOD WITH YOUR PETS.
1. Toxic foods - grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, chocolate
2. Rich foods (bacon, fatty meats) can cause pancreatitis (inflammation in the pancreas that can cause vomiting, diarrhea and severe dehydration)
3. Bones - can cause irritation to the GI tract leading to vomiting or diarrhea. If small enough they could cause a pet to choke if they become stuck in the esophagus.
4. Pre-baked yeast bread dough - this can cause severe gas in the intestines leading to bloating and drunken incoordination.
Instead of people food or treats, give your pet extra love and attention. 💗 They will cherish that more than a treat. Also allow those more shy pets a place to hide safely when company is over.
