Dogs like to roam
Keep those doors and gates fastened - it’s hectic, exciting and dogs do like to roam. They don’t relate dashing about on the road to getting knocked down by a car. If they manage to avoid injury they will, sooner or later, be picked up by the Police or the Dog Wardens. Even with a happy ending this little adventure will cost you dear. There’s a hefty fee to pay when you go to retrieve your dog. You can do without that at Christmas.
Never give dogs chocolate
They can’t deal with it It goes round and round in their system, doing increasing damage. Chocolate can be a toxic poison to dogs. Even a modest amount can be fatal to a very small dog, No matter how much he begs ‘but I love it mum’ - don’t give in. This is not something you can be complacent about. Keep all chocs well out of the way from your sweet-toothed pal. If he does accidentally scoff a chocolate snowman or the remains of the selection box, don’t think it will probably be alright. You need to consult your vet right away.
Chicken lickin’ danger
Never feed chicken, turkey or any poultry bones to your pets. Dogs do love them but the splinters easily get stuck in their throat or gut. Cats are prone to getting small bones lodged in their mouth. If your cat suddenly refuses to eat and is noticeable salivating, this is one of the first things to check. It’s painful and dangerous and you need to get it checked out with the vet. It’s strange that cats and dogs seem able to tolerate eating a whole bird. Is it because there’s lots of feathers and gristle to help the meal go down? Sharp bones on their own can be deadly.
