We all like to share some of the Thanksgiving and Christmas meals with our pets but remember not all table food is good for them.

Turkey Bones should never be fed to our pets. These bones have a tendency of splintering and forming sharp points that can lodge in the throat, gums, and roof of mouth. Organs such as intestines and stomach may be punctured as well.This will lead to many medical problems like infections,and pancreatitis and may require emergency surgery for removal.

Foods that contain Garlic and Onions can also pose severe threats to our pets.
M any people add these ingredients to stuffing, gravy, and salads. These ingredients cause severe anemias in our pets.

Chocolate should not be fed to pets at anytime. Too much chocolate can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, severe heart disease and even death.

Decorations are a wonderful part of the holidays however, some can pose threats to our pets. Puppies and kittens love to
explore and chew on anything and everything. Thus, it is a great idea to keep them away from decorations, such as wreaths, potpourri, candles, glass, and plastic.

Many wreaths contain dried flowers, berries, and leaves which can be toxic to pets.

Plastic and Glass (which commonly make up tree ornaments), can splinter and cause many problems from minor infections to emergency surgery if they puncture the stomach or intestines, or create a blockage in which food material cannot pass normally.

Tinsel can be especially harmful to cats! This material can get caught in their mouth and also cause blockage to the digestive system which is a medical emergency where surgery is needed to remove the tinsel from the mouth and intestines.

Christmas Tree Lights should be turned off and unplugged from the electrical outlet when you are not home. Pets, especially puppies and kittens like to chew on these objects which can potentially electrocute them.
