It is very tempting to give your pet a sampling of the Thanksgiving feast under the table, but before you do, you must know that it is not good for them. If you do not want to go to the animal hospital, do not feed your pet human food during the holidays. And if your food drops off of the table, or your plate, be sure to clean it up right away so your pet doesn’t get to it first. Various foods that your pets are not accustomed to can be hazardous to their digestive track. Some of the consequences are vomiting, and diarrhea.
Humans love holiday chow like turkey and buttery vegetables, but your pet should not like all of the different holiday foods! These foods can cause pancreatitis in pets, which is life-threatening to your furry friend.
And the thing with turkey is, there are always bones! Bones can be extremely harmful to your pet because they can get caught in their throats, or lodged in their intestinal track. The carcass of the cooked turkey may also have bacteria growing in it, and if your pet attempts to eat it—they can get extremely ill.
When throwing away the bones and carcass of the turkey, be sure that you put them into a bag, tie it very tight and make sure you position and arrange it into a trash can where your pet cannot get into.
Make sure this is a holiday season to remember, and hopefully not because your pet got sick due to eating holiday foods!
