🚫🍽️ The Truth About Feeding Pets Table Food 🍗🐾
We know it’s tempting to share your meals with your furry family members—but many human foods can be dangerous or even toxic to dogs and cats.
⚠️ Foods that can cause vomiting, diarrhea, pancreatitis, or life-threatening toxicity:
❌ Fatty meats, bacon, skin, and gravy
❌ Bones (can splinter or cause blockages)
❌ Onions, garlic, chives
❌ Grapes & raisins
❌ Chocolate
❌ Xylitol (sugar-free gums, peanut butter, baked goods)
❌ Alcohol & uncooked dough
❌ Dairy products (often causes stomach upset)
Even small amounts can make pets sick—especially during holidays and family gatherings.
⸻
✅ Safer options instead:
✅ Plain cooked lean meats (unseasoned)
✅ Plain green beans or carrots
✅ Vet-approved treats
✅ Food puzzles and chew-safe toys
✅ Prescription or recommended diets
