Table Foods and Pets

Great Bridge Veterinary Hospital suggests resisting the urge to feed table scraps from your holiday feast to your pets. Ask your guests to refrain too. Make sure your trash containers are secured and pet proofed. Be sure that all alcoholic beverages are properly disposed of as they contain ethanol, which can seriously harm your pet. Those tasty turkey bones can splinter and perforate stomach and other internal organs. Indulging in too much of the other holiday goodies such as grapes, raisins, onions can be toxic or can cause diarrhea and intestinal upsets in the best behaved pets. We want your holiday season with your pets and family to be a happy and safe one!

 

Tis the season to be safe!

Tis the season to be safe! It’s easy for pets to get into trouble during the holidays. Look at all the fun stuff we provide for their curiosity. Gifts, decorations and holiday foods pose dangers for all pets. Be aware of the extra hazards around the holidays. Cats love to play with ribbons and tinsel! If ingested they can sometimes act as foreign bodies causing intestinal blockages. Make sure that your pets are protected from all the festivities this holiday season.
