The holidays are a wonderful time to show extra appreciation for our four-legged family members. What better way to say thanks to these special friends than to make sure they are happy, healthy and safe throughout the season?
While you celebrate with delicious and festive meals and treats, we hope you will join WHS in our efforts to keep animals safe by keeping chocolate and other potentially harmful foods inaccessible to all pets in your home. Make sure that dangerous foods are out of reach and be careful not to leave tempting food items unattended.
The American Veterinary Medical Association recommends preventing your pets from eating the following:
* Chocolate
* Onions
* Products containing Xylitol
* Fried and fatty foods
* Grapes and raisins
* Macadamia nuts
* Avocados
In the unfortunate event your pet does ingest an item from this list or you believe he may have eaten any unsafe food or item, contact your veterinarian immediately.
There are many other ways you can keep your pet safe all winter long. Click here for some helpful suggestions.
Wishing you and all of your family a joyous and healthy holiday!
