๐๐ฆ Thanksgiving Pet Safety Tips ๐พ
The holidays are a time for family, food, and celebration โ but some of our favorite Thanksgiving traditions can be dangerous for pets. Keep your furry loved ones safe with these quick tips:
โ ๏ธ Avoid table scraps
Turkey skin, gravy, and fatty foods can cause vomiting or pancreatitis. Bones can splinter and cause choking or internal injury.
๐ซ Keep toxic foods out of reach
Onions, garlic, grapes/raisins, chocolate, xylitol sweeteners, and alcohol are all harmful to pets.
๐ฅ Watch the kitchen hazards
Hot ovens, boiling pots, and dropped utensils can lead to burns or injuriesโcurious noses should stay clear!
๐ฃ๏ธ Stress-free space
Holiday guests and loud activity can overwhelm pets. Provide a quiet room or crate so they can relax.
๐๏ธ Secure the trash
The smells are tempting, but trash diving can lead to ingestion of bones, foil, and spoiled food.
If your pet gets into something they shouldnโt or begins vomiting, acting lethargic, or showing signs of abdominal pain โ VetExpress Animal Urgent Care is here for you.
