An Ounce of Prevention
Reminder that some of your Christmas Dinner foods can be hazardous to your pup's health.

Bread dough, in particular, is a double whammy because of the potential for yeast poisoning. It can cause a fatal stomach torsion as well as alcohol poisoning.

What would be occurring sitting on your kitchen counter ends up occurring in your pet’s stomach,” according to Dr. Renee Schmid (a board-certified veterinary toxicologist at Pet Poison Helpline. That dough rises and causes a stretching of the stomach, or a distention. And then that yeast as it ferments produces ethanol, an alcohol. So these animals can develop alcohol poisoning as well as yeast poisoning.

If you suspect your dog has ingested yeast, seek veterinary treatment right away. Other dangerous foods to watch out for include cooked turkey bones, turkey grease, chocolate, grapes, raisins, and onions.

And if you are baking bread as part of your Christmas meal this year, make sure to let it rise far away from your dog’s reach, like on top of the refrigerator. No one wants to spend the holidays in the ER.

Thanksgiving safety tips to protect your dog

1. Keep guests and dogs safe - Don’t force a nervous or anxious dog to interact with strangers. Instead, keep your dog in a separate room with their toys, bed, and water bowl. If your dog is calm and well-behaved and you decide to let him join the celebration, make sure guests know your rules and don’t try to slip your dog any food.

2. Food - Keep an eye on your dog if you have food on the counter. Dogs are opportunists who won’t be shy about helping themselves if they can get away with it. Some foods that are dangerous for dogs are nuts, onions, raisins/grapes, some nuts, unbaked dough with yeast, chocolate & some spices as well as ANY product containing Xylitol (also called Birch Sugar).

3. Be Cautious with decorations - Especially when decorating with traditional fall plants. Some can be toxic for dogs, like Autumn Crocus, Chrysanthemums (also known as mums), and acorns from oak trees.

4. Eliminare Trash - Thanksgiving debris like turkey carcasses, bones, or string can be dangerous if eaten. Clear them off your counters and take the trash out.

Make sure you keep your dog happy and healthy this Thanksgiving!
