Leftovers Can Be Unhealthy For Pets

»  Comments | Post a Comment

Many people do it, give those Thanksgiving leftovers to the dogs.  But it could actually be deadly.


    

High fat foods such as turkey skin, can lead to pancreatitis.  You can give you dog a small piece of white meat.  Turkey bones are brittle and splinter easily and lodge in a dog’s esophagus or cause irritation.  Xylitol is a sweetener which can cause low blood sugar, seizures, liver failure and death, even in small amounts.  Grapes and raisins can induce permanent and life-threatening kidney failure in some dogs.


    

Most pet owners are aware of chocolate's danger, but dark chocolate contain even higher doses of toxic cocoa.  High levels of onion ingestion in dogs and cats can cause life-threatening anemia.
