 Morning Everyone!
I get emails from Dog Age...I just received this one and thought I would share with all of you...I know at the holiday time we feel that our furbabies deserve a little something special....here is just a few things you should NOT give to them. I know that this has been discussed before but, there are A LOT of newbies here that I thought should know this...(some of you probably already do!)
Table-Scrap Scares December 18, 2008
Sure, you'd like Fifi to share in the joys of the holiday table, but resist the urge to be generous. Foods and drinks you digest easily, like the following, can cause trouble for your pooch:
Dinner rolls -- Dough expands in the stomach, creating distressing gas.
Onions and garlic -- These flavor enhancers contain a compound that could damage a dog's red blood cells, causing anemia.
Rich sauces -- Gravy upsets the stomach and may lead to pancreatitis.
Bones -- Sharp pieces of bone can choke a dog or pierce or block her gastrointestinal tract.
Alcohol -- Even slightly spiked eggnog can be toxic, so don't leave any drinks unattended.
