🍽️🐾 Let’s Talk Pet Food Safety! 🐾🍽️
At Lashley Animal Hospital, your pet’s health starts with what’s in their bowl. 🐶🐱 Whether it’s kibble, canned food, or homemade meals, food safety matters — because our pets deserve the very best care from the inside out! 💙
Here are a few important pet food safety tips every pet parent should know:
🥫 Check expiration dates – Always look before you pour! Expired food can lose nutrients and grow harmful bacteria.
❄️ Store it right – Keep dry food in airtight containers and canned food in the fridge once opened.
🚫 Avoid human foods – Some “treats” like grapes, onions, chocolate, and xylitol can be toxic to pets.
🧼 Clean bowls daily – Bacteria can build up fast — wash food and water dishes with warm, soapy water every day.
🐕🦺 Watch for recalls – Stay informed about brand recalls and ingredient alerts to keep your furry friend safe.
If you ever have questions about your pet’s diet, ingredients, or what’s safe to feed, our team at Lashley Animal Hospital is always here to help. 💬🐾
