We look forward to the deliciousness of the holiday season for many reasons – special meals and drinks, seasonal treats, feasts with friends and family, and goodies galore all make the holidays a tasty time of year. But the same holiday foods we love to celebrate with are no celebration at all for dogs and cats, and can even be dangerous to our pets in many unexpected ways. By understanding the top holiday food dangers for dogs and cats, pet owners can celebrate safely with their furry companions.
There are many different ways holiday foods can pose dangers for dogs and cats. The more alert pet owners are to these dangers, the easier it will be to protect pets and ensure they have a safe, healthy diet throughout the holiday season.
Fortunately, it is easy to protect cats and dogs from unexpected holiday food dangers. Sticking to a pet’s typical diet is essential, without adding potentially dangerous treats to the menu. If special, pet-friendly treats are part of the holiday festivities, the pet’s regular meals should be adjusted to compensate for the extra calories. Reinforcing behavioral training during the holidays can help minimize the risk of behavioral problems, and all guests should also be aware of what a cat or dog can and cannot have so they do not inadvertently put pets at risk. Open dishes of candies, cookies, and other treats should be well out of reach of pets, even if they are accomplished counter-surfers. Pets should always be watched carefully in case they do sneakily get into holiday treats, and pet owners shouldn’t hesitate to contact emergency veterinary care if there are any problems.
With conscientious care, holiday foods don’t need to pose risks to four-legged friends and family members, and the holidays can be just as delicious as ever without creating hazards to pets.
