Holiday Safety Tips for our Animals!!!

As a VERY IMPORTANT reminder: foods that are safe for humans are not always safe for pets:

Chocolate can cause hyperexcitability, nervousness, vomiting, diarrhea and even death.
Xylitol (sugar substitute) can cause a drop in blood sugar, collpase, seizure and liver failure in dogs.
Grapes/raisins can lead to kidney failure in dogs.

Don't forget about the tempting decor too: if eaten, they can get lodged in intestines requiring surgery.

Holiday plants also can pose an issue if ingested: Holly, Mistletoe and Poinsettias are NOT meant to be eaten and can cause gastrointestinal issues.

KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE!!!
