I know that a lot of us have birthday parties for our love ones. I just thought that you would like to know what I have learn today in class.

The do not
1. Never give or place nuts on their birthday cakes, since they can not digest them. ( chopped,sliced,whole nuts)
2. Never uses raisins or grapes it has been known to cause diarrhea and vomiting.
3. If your furkid is allergic to wheat, you may substitute for rice flour.

The do's
