Don't Let Holiday Festivities Harm Your Dog

The upcoming holidays can pose health dangers for our dogs. Each year, thousands of pets become seriously injured or ill during the holiday season. Pets can become very ill from items such as table butter, meat and candy. These foods can result in gastrointestinal upsets and pancreatitis, a painful and sometimes fatal condition. Symptoms include depression, vomiting, abdominal pain or lack of appetite. During the Thanksgiving holiday prevention is the key.
Place high risk foods out of reach. Don't feed your dog lots of table scraps full of high fat content.
Do not let them chew on the turkey bones.
In the hustle and bustle of the day, remember your pet's regular feeding and exercise schedule and be certain to give them lots of love!!
