As Christmas approaches, it is natural to want to share the festivities with our four-legged friends; however, did you know that many of the foods we consume can be toxic if fed to our pets?
Follow Reaseheath's Vet Nursing guide to safe foods for your dog this Christmas:
✔️Turkey (boneless and skinless)
✔️Potatoes (boiled or mashed with no butter or salt)
✔️Vegetables such as carrot, parsnip, sprouts, or peas
All of the above can be fed in moderation.
❌Gravy (too salty and fatty)
❌Stuffing (onion, garlic, shallots, and leeks are all poisonous for dogs)
❌Pigs in blankets (too salty and fatty)
❌Christmas pudding and mince pies (dried fruits can cause kidney failure if eaten)
❌Chocolate (highly toxic)
❌Nuts (toxic)
The above should never be fed to your dog and should be kept out of reach.
If you are worried that your dog has eaten something that could be dangerous, then please contact your vet immediately; do not try to make your dog sick as this could make them worse.
