It's a Dog's Life

Beware the wrathful grapes!   (Photo by fir0002) 

News flash!  Although many believe otherwise, food is NOT love.  Too much or the wrong kind can even kill.  So treat yourself kindly during this season of feasting.

And your dog, too.  Rover’s system can be just as sensitive.  When dishing up potatoes, ‘tis best to serve them plain.  Ditto for sweet potatoes, green beans, pumpkin and peas.  All of these can nourish if not tainted with seasonings and sauces.  Apples are also great, but must be carefully cored in order to eliminate toxic seeds. 

As for turkey - skip the skin, bones, fat and gravy.  While you're at it, skip onions, garlic, grapes, leeks, scallions, raisins, chocolate, ham, yeast dough and alcohol.  Dogs just can’t handle these.  (Many a human can’t, either.)  Dispose of them carefully because Rover views garbage as just another bowlful of goodies.
