Safe foods<\/h2>\n

Leftover beef or chicken<\/h3>\n

As long as it\u2019s deboned, leftover beef or chicken can be a delicious treat for your pet. However, be sure to feed in moderation \u2013 an abundance of any food will likely leave your pet with a stomach ache.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fruit and vegetables<\/h3>\n

Small amounts of apples, oranges, bananas, blueberries and watermelon are all healthy treats for dogs at Christmas. They can be especially tasty and refreshing for fury friends when they are kept in the fridge and given on a hot day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, be sure to remove all of the seeds first as these can become lodged in your pet\u2019s intestines. Also avoid stone fruits as the pit is poisonous.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Carrot sticks, sweet potato, green beans, cucumber, pumpkin and zucchini are also wonderful snack options for your pet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Unsafe foods<\/h2>\n

Chocolate<\/h3>\n

The cacao seeds that give chocolate its delicious taste also contain a compound called theobromine, which is toxic to cats and dogs, and if consumed can cause serious illness or death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Your fury friends may suffer from vomiting, diarrhoea, panting, excessive thirst and hyperactivity after eating chocolate. Not to mention the potentially deadly symptoms such as an abnormal heart rhythm, tremors and seizures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Raisins and grapes<\/h3>\n

Raisins and grapes can be fatally toxic to dogs, even in small qualities, so no Christmas pudding or cake for your four-legged friends. There is actually a toxin in the products which carries a risk of causing severe liver damage and kidney failure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Macadamia Nuts<\/h3>\n

You may enjoy devouring some chocolate coated macadamia nuts but if consumed by dogs they cause serious health issues. Your fury friend may experience vomiting, weakness, a fever, muscle tremors and depression after eating the food.<\/p>\n\t\n
