Some Things We Just Shouldn't Share!

This time of year food is such a big part of our celebrations.  Just a quick reminder that not everything we eat should be shared with our furry family members. Most of us know that chocolate, alcohol, garlic, onions, grapes and raisins should be kept away from both dogs and cats.  There are other foods we should have on our radar screen.  Here are links to several articles on other websites so you can educate yourself and your family to the "WHAT NOT FOOD"...and the "WHY NOT THIS FOOD" for your beloved pets.

In every case it's a smart idea to always keep the numbers of your local vet, the closest emergency clinic, and the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center -- (888) 426-4435 -- where you know you can find them in an emergency.
