Festive Food for Pets

The temptation during the Christmas season is to give our pets left over’s as a perceived treat for them to share with us.
In many cases this may be without any consequence except a satisfied pet but we do often see gastrointestinal upsets associated with feeding seasoned, fatty or salty foods – this sounds like everything we have Christmas day!
Vomiting and diarrhoea are often symptoms seen but these may progress to a more serious condition such as pancreatitis, which requires hospitalisation and intensive care.
Please be careful when including that four legged family member in sharing your Christmas meal.
Of course, to spoil their fun more, we should also avoid sharing our chocolates.
