Keep holiday decorations, plants, and foods safe and out of reach to protect pets from poisoning, choking, or injury. Create a quiet, secure space for pets during festivities to help reduce stress from noise and guests.

Holiday Hazards

Don't feed your pets Halloween candy, especially if it contains chocolate or xylitol (a common sugar substitute found in sugar-free candies and gum)

Halloween can be Hairy for Pets

Eating turkey or turkey skin - sometimes even a small amount - can cause a life-threatening condition in pets known as pancreatitis. Fatty foods are hard for animals to digest, and many foods that are healthy for people are poisonous to pets - including onions, raisins and grapes. If you want to share a Thanksgiving treat with your pet, make or buy a treat that is made just for them.

Thanksgiving Thoughts

Did you know that pets can suffer from allergies just like humans? However, unlike humans who show symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes, pets usually exhibit allergic reactions through their skin. This can lead to allergies in pets often being overlooked or misdiagnosed as other illnesses.
