The usual suspects are back on Santa Paws’ Naughty List this Christmas! 🎅🐾
The best gift you can give your fur babies is a happy, healthy, and Vet-free holiday season.
Here’s what to keep off their Christmas menu:
🎄 Rich, fatty meats – These can cause pancreatitis or trigger serious conditions like HGE.
🎄 Raisins – Found in fruitcakes, mince pies, and puddings, these are highly toxic to dogs.
🎄 Chocolate – A festive favourite for humans but dangerous for pups.
🎄 Dairy products – Dogs struggle to digest lactose, so skip the cheesy treats!
🎄 Cooked bones – They can splinter and cause intestinal blockages or injuries and can break or fracture their teeth!
Keep their tails wagging by sticking to pet-safe snacks and extra cuddles this Christmas!
