🎄 Holiday Foods That Can Harm Your Pets 🎄
The festive season is full of delicious treats, but some of them can be dangerous for your furry friends. Here’s a quick guide to keep your pets safe this Christmas:
🚫 Chocolate – Contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs and cats. Dark chocolate and cocoa powder are especially dangerous.
🚫 Onions, Garlic & Chives – Found in stuffing or gravy, these can damage your pet’s red blood cells.
🚫 Grapes & Raisins – Even small amounts can cause kidney failure in dogs. Be cautious with fruitcake and mince pies!
🚫 Alcohol – Even a little can be toxic to pets, causing vomiting, diarrhea, and more severe symptoms.
🚫 Xylitol – A sugar substitute found in some candies, peanut butter, and baked goods, it can cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar.
🚫 Cooked Bones – These can splinter and cause internal injuries or blockages.
