Happy Thanksgiving, y'all! 🧡 Please be responsible and feed your pet's their normal diet during the holiday season. No matter how cute and irresistible their begging might be. 😉

With Halloween quickly approaching we just wanted to send a friendly reminder to keep candy, especially chocolate, out of pets reach!

Theobromine and caffeine in chocolate may cause vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, tremors, seizures, tachycardia (high heart rate) progressing to abnormal heart rhythms, and death in severe cases. The fat and sugar may also lead to GI upset and pancreatitis.

If your pet does happen to indulge in sweet treats, seek veterinary care ASAP! We can often give medication to effectively induce vomiting and prevent or mitigate further complications. Be sure to note what kind (dark, milk or white chocolate) and the quantity ingested if possible!

On a related note, what’s your favorite Halloween candy?? 🎃 👻
