Pet Safety

Table scraps often contain meat fat that a human didn't eat as well as bones. Both are dangerous for dogs. Fat trimmed from meat, both cooked and uncooked, may cause pancreatitis in dogs. And, although it seems natural to give a dog a bone, a dog can choke on it. Bones can also splinter and cause an obstruction or lacerations of your dog's digestive system. Have a trash can with a lid or a trash bag that can be sealed readily available so that your pet cannot nose around for scraps or bones. Be sure to ask children and other party goers not to throw chicken, pork, turkey or rib bones on the ground as your pets will be able to access them easily.
