Keeping Your Pet Safe During The Holidays

 


Food-based ornaments, such as popcorn balls, could be hazardous and must be kept in a place that children have a hard time reaching. Make sure any wrapped food products cannot easily be reached while arranging presents under a tree or anywhere around the fireplace.

Pets on the lookout for a celebratory snack are also at risk.

Chocolate, particularly dark chocolates, raisins, bones, alcohol, and unhealthy food could all be harmful to our pets. Even neurological issues can be caused by the intake of macadamia nuts. The intake of xylitol, an ingredient commonly found in different kinds of food is poisonous to dogs and can lead to liver problems and death if it is not given immediate treatment.

Most people in the middle of the pandemic have started to learn how to bake. An increase in the underbaked or raw dough has caused several poisonings. Make sure to keep raw dough away from your beloved pets.

Any sign of illness exhibited by your pet should require a visit to your animal hospital Roanoke, VA for proper medical attention.
