🎃👻 TRICK OR TREAT? Pet edition!
Halloween means plenty of yummy treats for us humans…but some can be downright scary for our pets! 🐶🐱
🚫 TRICK: Chocolate, xylitol-containing sweets, grapes and raisins, onion, and macadamia nuts are among the foods to keep away from pets.
✅ TREAT: Plain cooked pumpkin, bone broth, blueberries and small pieces of cooked, unseasoned meat can be great alternatives for many dogs and cats (a little less so for blueberries, but if they’re willing and it’s just a treat)
But even healthy treats should be offered in moderation. Aim to keep treats and extras to no more than around 10% of daily calories.
And remember to keep Halloween sweets and wrappers safely out of reach! If your pet eats something they shouldn’t have, call your veterinarian or the Australian Animal Poisons Helpline (a fee applies) at 1300 869 738
🐾 Stay tuned, we’ll be sharing a homemade Halloween treat recipe later this week!
Happy Howl-o-ween! 🎃❤️
