    Holidays can be extremely fun for humans, but often are a dreadful experience for pets. Help keep your pets safe by keeping the following in mind this Thanksgiving.

     

    Holiday treats, such as rich, fatty scraps, bones from pork and poultry, alcoholic beverages, chocolate and other sweets and candies can be harmful or toxic to pets.

    These foods have been linked to pancreatitis in pets. Signs and symptoms of an inflamed pancreas include vomiting and abdominal pain, and severe pancreatitis requires emergency medical care and treatment. 

     

    Following these hints will help keep pets out of danger, while still enjoying the food, fun and festivities that accompany the holidays.
