Holiday Food Do's and Don'ts for Pets

I posted this in 2016 and thought I'd share again - it's good info to have on hand with the upcoming Holiday meals.

original post:

With the Holidays coming I thought I'd share this info I saw hanging at our vet's office - I'm going to keep this handy so I can remember what to avoid (not that I could pay Sarge to eat avocado tho...):

For humans only - DO NOT share with any pets: 

• alcoholic beverages
• chocolate
• fatty foods like gravy, fatty trimmings, turkey skin
• onions, garlic, scallops
• sugar free candies containing xylitol 
• bones on ham/turkey/roast/etc
• raisins, grapes
• avocados

Safe to share with dogs and cats:

• cooked turkey meat (no bones or skin)
• cranberry sauce
• peeled, sliced apple (no cores)
• potatoes, sweet potatoes, and green beans
• carrots

Safe to share with pet birds:

• cooked turkey meat
• walnuts, hazelnuts
• cooked veggies like broccoli and carrots
• sweet corn
• dried fruits (in limited quantities)

I also just received this email from Pet Poison Hotline with a little more info regarding pets and holidays - I didn't realize salt was so bad for them!

Oh, and I just got this email about what to do if your dog eats chocolate (click here).
