‼️ DON'T FEED YOUR DOG CHRISTMAS HAM ‼️

A timely reminder to all pet owners - Do NOT give your pet dog or cat any of your Christmas ham.

"Christmas ham and ham bones are a huge no-no,” the Animal Referral & Emergency Centre says.

“The fat and salt content of this delicious Christmas treat will wreak havoc on the gastrointestinal system of our beloved furry family members.

"[Also,] often our pets will have increased access to chocolate, grapes, nuts and fruit cake, which are all capable of causing serious and sometimes life-threatening illness."

This poor dog pictured is Gordie - in 2017 he ate an ENTIRE 2.2KG Christmas ham. His owners brought him in to the vet for help.
