🐴🐐🐄 Safe people foods for LIVESTOCK ANIMALS 🐄🐐🐴

Many livestock animals enjoy an occasional healthy treat, but not all human foods are safe. Here are some favorites that can be offered in moderation:

🍎 Apples (remove seeds)
A favorite treat for horses, goats, sheep, and many farm animals.

🥕 Carrots
Crunchy, nutritious, and loved by horses, goats, donkeys, and rabbits.

🍉 Watermelon (flesh only)
A refreshing summer snack for many livestock animals. Remove the rind if your animal tends to gulp large pieces.

🍌 Bananas
Goats, pigs, and some horses enjoy bananas as an occasional treat.

🎃 Pumpkin
Pumpkin flesh is a healthy seasonal treat enjoyed by many farm animals.

🥒 Cucumbers
A cool, hydrating snack during hot weather.

🥬 Leafy Greens
Romaine lettuce, kale, collard greens, and other leafy vegetables can be offered in moderation.

🫛 Green Beans & Peas
Many goats, pigs, and poultry enjoy these fresh garden treats.

🍓 Berries
Strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries make excellent occasional treats.

⚠️ Remember:
• Treats should make up only a small portion of the diet.
• Always introduce new foods gradually.
• Ensure fresh, clean water is available at all times.
• Different species have different dietary needs, so when in doubt, ask your veterinarian.

*Another tip is to offer smaller cut up pieces for less of a chocking hazard.

🚫 Avoid feeding:
• Chocolate
• Onions and garlic
• Avocado
• Moldy fruits or vegetables
• Excessive bread, chips, candy, or processed foods
• Dog or cat food to livestock

Healthy treats can be a great way to bond with your animals while keeping them happy and safe! ❤️🐾🐴🐐🐄

🚫 SUMMER FOODS THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS FOR PETS 🚫

☀️Summer cookouts, picnics, and family gatherings are fun for everyone—but not every treat is safe for our pets!☀️

⚠️ Foods to KEEP AWAY From Dogs & Cats:

🍇 Grapes & Raisins
Even small amounts can cause serious kidney damage in some pets.

🍫 Chocolate
Contains substances that can affect the heart and nervous system.

🧅 Onions, Garlic, Chives & Leeks
Found in many cookout foods and seasonings. These can damage red blood cells and lead to anemia.

🌽 Corn Cobs
While corn itself is generally safe, cobs can cause dangerous intestinal blockages if swallowed.

🥑 Avocados
Can cause stomach upset, and the pit is a choking hazard.

🍺 Alcohol
Even small amounts can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening.

🍬 Sugar-Free Gum, Candy & Baked Goods
Many contain xylitol, which can cause a rapid drop in blood sugar and severe liver damage.

🍑 Fruit Pits & Seeds
Peach, plum, cherry, and apricot pits can pose choking hazards and contain toxic compounds.

🍖 Cooked Bones
Can splinter and cause choking, mouth injuries, or intestinal damage.

🥜 Macadamia Nuts
Can cause weakness, tremors, vomiting, and difficulty walking.

🌭 Fatty Cookout Foods
Hot dogs, burgers, ribs, and greasy leftovers can lead to stomach upset or pancreatitis.

💧 Keep fresh water available at all times and remind guests not to share table scraps with your pets.

If your pet eats something questionable, contact your veterinarian immediately. Quick action can make all the difference!

🐾 Have a safe and happy summer from all of us at the clinic!

💧SUMMER HYDRATION & COOLING TIPS
FOR YOUR ANIMALS BIG AND SMALL💧

As the summer heat settles in, AND BOY IS IT, keeping your animals hydrated and cool is one of the best ways to prevent heat-related illness!

🐾 For Dogs, Cats, & other small animals:
• Keep multiple bowls of fresh, cool water available.
• Add ice cubes to water bowls on especially hot days.
• Provide shaded areas when outdoors.
• Cooling mats, fans, and kiddie pools can help beat the heat.
• Limit exercise to early mornings or late evenings.
• Frozen treats made from pet-safe ingredients can be a fun way to cool down.

🐴 For Horses & Livestock:
• Ensure constant access to clean, fresh COOL water.
• Provide shade through trees, shelters, or barns.
• Use high powered fans in well-ventilated barns when appropriate.
• Offer electrolytes and salt licks during periods of extreme heat or heavy sweating. If they're not sweating, that is a concern.
• Schedule work, training, and hauling during cooler parts of the day.
• Watch for signs of dehydration, including lethargy, decreased appetite, dry gums, and reduced skin elasticity.

⚠️ Signs of Heat Stress:
Excessive panting, drooling, weakness, stumbling, rapid breathing, elevated temperature, or collapse. Heat emergencies can develop quickly—contact your veterinarian immediately if you suspect heat stress.

A little extra attention during the hottest months can help keep your four-legged family members healthy, comfortable, and enjoying summer safely! ☀️❤️
