🐶 It's one of your dog's favorite days of the year - National Dog Biscuit Day! On a day like this, it's important to remember that more treats does not equal more love. In moderation, biscuits are an acceptable treat, but a healthy weight is most important to your dog's overall health.

#AERC12HolidayPetDangers It’s day 12, our final day of sharing common holiday pet dangers, & today we’re focusing on the traditional feast entrée, ham! We hope our shortlist these past few days has been insightful & that pet owners remember that it’s more important than ever to be careful with these things this year – emergency care may be hard to find, especially for less urgent issues. So it’s not worth it to take any chances and feed your pet something they shouldn’t have like rich, fatty human food.

Always be extra cautious with xylitol products & pay close attention to ingredients labels! Learn more about the dangers of xylitol here: https://aercmn.com/xylitol-its-not-so-sweet
