🍗🍂✨Happy Thanksgiving from your local neighborhood animal hospital!
See below on how maintain a safe and happy holiday for you and your pets:
Common food dangers (due to choking hazards, potential gastrointestinal obstructions, or toxicity) on this day include bones, high-fat foods (such as ham), onions, garlic, grapes or raisins, bread dough, any alcohols, xylitol sweetener, chocolate, and macadamia nuts.
These foods common on Thanksgiving day should be used cautiously around your pet…
Foods that are safer considerations for your pet include plain, cooked turkey (with no skin or seasonings) carrots, green beans, pumpkin (again, without seasonings), and blueberries.
Looking to offer your pet a fun, safe treat for the holiday? Utilize some canned pumpkin for a frozen lick mat to keep them busy as the festivities continue! Lick mats can even decrease boredom or stress (both cats or dogs)!
