Tis the season for indulgence 🤤 Christmas can be a dangerous time for pets with potentially poisonous treats adorning every open surface. Here are a few to avoid.
•Ham and Lamb- these high fat foods can cause pancreatic disease. 🤒
•Grapes and Raisins- can lead to kidney failure 😣
• Chocolates -causes vomiting, diarrhea and in extreme cases can lead to cardiac arrest and seizures 💔
•Xylitol- the artificial sweetener in most candies 🍭 causes a drop in blood sugar in pets, leaving them feeling weak and leading to seizures
•Onions, Garlic and Chives- lead to vomiting and diarrhea and the destruction of red blood cells ( causing anemia). Avoid feeling table scraps as these are common seasoning in our food.
•Alcohol 🍷🍻🍾- causes severe liver and brain damage in pets with as little as a tablespoon
⚠️ tips: feed pets before festivities so they are full and reduces their chances of begging.
Let guest know not to feed pets and you can also provide safe treats they can give.
Merry Christmas to everyone and let’s hope you don’t have to go to the ER with your pets this Holiday season. 🎄
