๐๐ถ Throwing a BBQ? Keep Your Pets Safe! ๐๐ฑ
Backyard cookouts are in full swing, but picnic treats and open grills can lead to unexpected emergency room visits. Here are 3 quick rules to keep your furry family members safe this season:
๐ซ Watch the Plate: Keep fatty meats, cooked bones, corn cobs, and foods with onions or garlic off your pet's menu. They can cause severe blockages, toxicity, or pancreatitis!
๐๏ธ Secure the Trash: Wooden skewers, foil, and grease-soaked paper towels are major hazards for curious scavengers.
๐ช Check the Gates: Make sure yard gates latch tightly before guests arrive, and set up a quiet indoor sanctuary away from party noise.
๐จ Accidents happen! Weโre open 24/7/365 for Emergency & Critical Care.
