It is that time of year again, the Christmas holiday season, when our dogs and cats have access to more food items that can either be fatal to your pet or at least make them very sick. Here are some of the worst that you should never feed your pets or make sure they do not have access to the following:
1. chocolate (seems dark is worse than milk but it is best to avoid giving or letting your pets get access to any chocolate)
2. onions
3. xylitol (found in sugar-free gum and candy)
4. grapes and raisins
5. avocados
6. macadamia nuts (they should not be fed most nuts. Some dogs tolerate peanuts just fine whereas others can develop allergies like people do or eating the nuts will give them diarrhea - I know this one for a fact!)
7. fatty and fried foods
This is a short list, I'm sure there are many others, but some of these are more readily available this time of year than at other times. But at least be sure to keep this particular list of foods out of the reach of your pets.
