Make it a Pet-Safe Easter
Only one week left for Easter and let's make this Easter a pet-safe one
1. Avoid lighting fire crackers
The dawn of a festive season or a festival day could be celebrated in a more quiet manner rather than by lighting fire crackers. Pets are sensitive, as you know, and among them there are certain pets that go into a shock with the high frequency sounds
2. Avoid feeding oily food in large quantities
Acute Pancreatitis is known to be a disease of festivals. Consuming a high fatty meal can lead to acute pancreatitis in both dogs and cats. Pancreatitis is a deadly disease that affects the pancreas. These food could be anything from oily meat to even oily sweets. The most common meat products are pork and pork derived products such as bacon, lamb, mutton and beef fat (tallow) that contain high amounts of fat
3. Be cautious when giving sweetened drinks and food
Xylitol is a common sweeter in human food products, that is toxic to dogs and cats and can end up with symptoms of xylitol toxicity. Xylitol containing food must therefore be avoided at all costs for pets. If you are unsure if the particular food or drink contains xylitol, avoid sharing it with your pet
4. Avoid giving chocolates, Raisins, grapes, macademia nuts to pets
If your pet accidentally consumes any of these, contact your veterinarian immediately
5. Avoid feeding bones - whether raw or cooked
The internet says to feed raw bones and not feed cooked bones but as a practicing vet, I highly advice to not give bones to pets except for occasional feeding of chicken neck bones cooked and either ground or chopped
