Did you know most healthy cats prefer consistent foods over a variety? Too much change can lead to digestive issues or picky eating habits. If your cat stops enjoying their usual meals, consult us first - don't just switch brands. Instead, enhance their diet with different textures, feeding methods, or food puzzles for enrichment. Need guidance? Contact us at (703) 549-7297.

Remember, any food that isn't a regular part of a pet's diet—especially fatty foods like ham, gravy, dark turkey meat, and turkey skin—can cause issues ranging from diarrhea to pancreatitis, and some human foods can even poison your pets. Side dishes like stuffing and mashed potatoes may contain garlic, onion, leeks, or chives that are toxic to dogs and cats. Desserts may include dangerous-to-pets ingredients like chocolate, raisins, currants, and Xylitol (a popular sugar substitute)—so reserve the sweet stuff for humans only. Plus, chewing and swallowing bones may cause a life-threatening obstruction that requires emergency surgery.
