Keep Your Pets Safe During the Holidays<\/h2>\n
You may notice one holiday centerpiece that isn’t on the list of safe foods. Ham. Deli hams are full of salt and sugar, both of which are on the list of foods to avoid feeding dogs.<\/p>\n
Other holiday staples that are bad for dogs include nuts, raisins, and chocolate. Also, do not give your dog candy, as many contain the sweetener xylitol, known to be fatal to dogs.<\/p>\n
You may think cooked bones are a special treat for your dog, but you should never feed your dog bones of any kind. The bones can splinter and cause a blockage in the dog’s stomach. Even the safety of rawhide treats often thought to be safe is questionable.<\/p>\n
Holidays can be an exciting but stressful time for humans and pets alike. If you must give in to your dog’s soulful, begging eyes, only feed them table scraps that are safe for dogs.<\/p>\n
