Tips For A Great Pet-Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving !!

Here are some tips to avoid disaster this Holiday Season and a friendly reminder to watch the trash cans and the table settings!

It’s ok to give our pets a holiday treat. Always give small amounts as new foods can upset the stomach. In moderation – Canned sugar free pumpkin, sweet potatoes, small amounts of cooked turkey meat (no bones, no skin, no fat!!), cooked white rice and cottage cheese can be great little treats for our beloved furry friends.

Have a great Thanksgiving day!

If you have any questions regarding something your pet may have eaten — just give us a call or email!

What NOT to feed:

TURKEY SKIN, DRIPPINGS + GRAVY
ANY FATTY FOODS can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and life threatening pancreatitis
TURKEY BONES can cause throat, stomach, and intestinal tears and obstructions
RAISINS + GRAPES will cause kidney failure, even in small amounts!
CORN ON THE COB can cause intestinal obstructions = surgery!
ONION + GARLIC can cause life threatening hemolytic anemias
SAGE can cause vomiting and diarrhea and nervous system depression
BREADDOUGH can expand once eaten and cause pain, bloating, obstruction, and death
CHOCOLATE can cause vomiting, diarrhea, heart problems and death

“I was referred to Dr. Ferenstein through a friend and I am very happy that I found this clinic. They are very excited about what they do. They did a great job with my dog and the price was reasonable. The staff was very friendly and professional and they have a beautiful clinic. I highly recommend San Diego Bay Animal Hospital.
