Its that time of year where we see an abundance of pancreatitis and foreign body ingestion! Protect your pet by only offering small and safe treats this Thanksgiving:

Green Beans Sweet Potatoes Turkey (White meat, NO fat or skin) Plain Potatoes (NO additives, like butter or cheese) Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce | Turkey Fat &Skin Desserts of any kind Alcohol of any kind Onions Garlic High Sodium Foods Bird bones of any kind Leeks Scallions Grapes Raisins Chocolate (Especially, dark baker's chocolate) Uncooked Bread Dough |
Remember, this is not an exhaustive list and your pet may have health issues that may or may not affect what he or she can eat. As always, call us if you have any questions! We will be happy to let you know if your cat or dog can have something special this holiday season.
Just remember: everything in moderation and WATCH your guests to make sure they are not giving Fido or Fluffy anything they shouldn't have!
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Lifetime Pet Centers!
