Thanksgiving is a time for sharing good food and making memories with the ones we love, including our furry family members. But while those holiday leftovers may be tempting, cooked bones are never a safe treat for dogs or cats.🍖🐱🐶
Cooked bones can splinter, causing choking, injuries to the mouth or digestive tract, and potentially serious intestinal blockages. Even small scraps left on plates can pose a risk to curious pets.
As you prepare your Thanksgiving feast, keep plates, food scraps, and rubbish securely out of reach. If you'd like to treat your pet, stick to veterinarian-approved options instead.
A little extra care around the dinner table can help keep the holiday happy and safe for everyone.
