While you may be tempted to take your dog to BBQ's and cookouts with you, it can pose some risks to your pets. Toxic foods, heat stroke, escaping (especially if there are fireworks) are all things to think about and be mindful of so you can keep your furry friends safe!

Some dangerous bbq foods for your pets include:
- Corn cobs (obstruction/choking)
- Chicken/Ribs (can splinter)
- Onions/Garlic/Grapes/Raisins/Chocolate (toxic)

Do you know that dogs and cats can function as vital blood donors in veterinary medicine? When an animal requires a transfusion, they rely on the blood donor dogs and cats to provide the necessary blood to help save their life in a potentially life-threatening situation.
