Food Safety during the Holidays
The holidays bring us some of our favorite foods, and while humans may enjoy them, some can be detrimental to our pets. Here are common food items to avoid giving your pets:
- Bones: Bones can easily splinter and cause serious health problems.
- Chives, Garlic, Onions: All members of the allium family. These contain compounds that can damage red blood cells in animals.
- Chocolate: Chocolate is a big part of the holidays and is toxic to dogs and cats. It is safest to keep chocolate off-limits for pets.
- Grapes and raisins: These are toxic to our pets and can cause serious kidney problems.
- Milk: Many dogs and cats can have difficulty digesting lactose and small amounts can cause gastrointestinal problems.
- Xylitol: Xylitol is an artificial sweetener found in many foods and drinks and is toxic to dogs and cats.
