TIP TIME, or really, a reminder plus something new...remember, chocolate
and anti-freeze are two commonplace things around the house that can mean
DEATH to your dog. And a new one...it was just reported to me that a dog
ate a pound of raisins recently and died the next day of kidney failure.
Remember...they rely on us to keep them out of this kind of trouble.
BREAD DOUGH A NO-NO FOR DOGS AND CATS
As the holidays descend upon us, there'll be many cooks in the
kitchen--but don't spoil your pet by giving him bread dough.
According to Jill A. Richardson, DVM, of the ASPCA Animal Poison
Control Center (APCC), when bread dough is ingested, an animal's
body heat causes the dough to rise in the stomach. As alcohol is
produced during the rising process, the dough expands. Pets
who've eaten bread dough may experience abdominal pain,
bloat, vomiting, disorientation and depression.
