TOXIC FOODS: Common Festive Season Household Products That Could Be Toxic To Your Pets We all want to share the festive season with our pets, they’re part of the family after all. Unfortunately, accidental poisoning of pets with common household products is increasingly common. [alt text “dogs and cat pose with christmas tree”, a href “https://pixabay.com/en/pets-christmas-dogs-cat-962215/”] To make sure your pets stay safe this festive season here’s a few of the common household products that could be toxic to your pets. 5 Festive Season Products That Could Be Toxic To Your Pets 1. Chocolate Chocolate consumption is one of the most common causes of dog poisoning over the festive season. Containing caffeine and other toxic components, chocolate is not a treat for dogs or cats. If you suspect your pet has eaten their fill of chocolate, or if they are vomiting, have diarrhoea, arrhythmias or seizures contact your vet or vet hospital immediately. 2. Bones Poultry bones, like chicken and turkey, can cause severe indigestion and vomiting in dogs and cats, and can even lead to an obstruction of the bowel. Bones are brittle, especially when cooked, and your cat or dog crunching on them may cause the bones to splinter causing them extreme injury inside their stomach or intestines. There have even been instances where turkey bones have punctured the animals’ stomach, causing a potentially fatal infection in the animals’ abdomen. 3. Christmas decorations Christmas decorations, wrapping paper and tinsel are a fun temptation for most dogs and cats; however, eating or chewing on them can be very hazardous to your pets’ health. Glass decorations could obviously cause injury if chewed or swallowed, and although plastic, paper and foil may have low toxicity, when eaten, decorations and wrapping may obstruct your pets’ airway and stomach. 4. Christmas trees Christmas trees, or Pine trees, are mildly toxic and may cause a slight stomach upset if your pets eat the pine needles, however, the serious damage is inflicted when the sharp tips of the pine needles cause abrasions to the oesophagus and intestines which may lead to a more severe infection. 5. Eggnog Eggnog is not only dairy-based, it also has alcohol in it, and even non-alcoholic eggnog has ingredients your pets will find very toxic. Ingredients like sugar, fat, and raw eggs are very bad for your pets. Dairy, in general is bad for your dogs and cats as they cannot digest the lactose. Dairy products will cause digestive upset if consumed, as well as vomiting and diarrhoea. What To Do Your My Pet Has Consumed Toxic Household Products After toxic products have been ingested, dogs and cats can show a wide variety of symptoms depending on how long ago the product was consumed and the quantity eaten. You should always seek veterinary care if your dog or cat eats anything that may be toxic.
