🍔It’s BBQ Season!🌭
We all love a summer BBQ – but what is tasty and fun for us can be dangerous for our pets.
Here are some common BBQ risks to look out for:
❌ Bones 🍖– Cooked bones can splinter and cause choking or internal injuries
❌ Corn on the cob 🌽 – A major choking hazard and can also cause a blockage in a pets digestive system
❌ Skewers 🍢 – wooden or metal skewers can be very dangerous if swallowed
❌ Fatty scraps 🥓 – can trigger a condition called pancreatitis
❌ Onions, garlic and chives 🧅 – toxic to dogs and cats, even in small amounts
❌ BBQ tools and hot coals 🔥 – Curious pets could potentially burn themselves or get themselves injured
💡Top Tips:
✅ Keep food and rubbish out of reach
✅ Create a quiet, shady place for your pet to relax, away from the BBQ
✅ Remind guests not to feed your pets, no matter how cute their begging face is!
Have fun and enjoy the sunshine responsibly. Your furry friends will thank you!
