No matter how much they watch, beg, nudge, drool…don’t give in!
It’s those big sad eyes, constant nudging, and drool that tug at the heart strings of every pet owner. It’s hard to resist such cuteness, but stand strong pet owners! Many of the tasty holiday treats that we indulge in are harmful or toxic to pets.
Fried and fatty foods, butter and any food with a lot of salt, seasonings, or nitrites can cause gastrointestinal disturbances including vomiting, diarrhea and pancreatitis. One macadamia nut can be lethal as can the natural sweetener xylitol found in many candies and baked goods. Grapes, raisins, currants, onions, garlic, alcohol, and of course chocolate are all on the toxic table scraps list.
Ask your veterinarian about safe treats for your individual pet(s).
