At Lombard Animal Hospital, we know that as pet owners/parents/guardians/friends, we like to spoil our pets. Sometimes, spoiling them, is really spoiling them.
Dogs love table scraps. Sometimes, cats do too! But what are we really doing to our pet when we give them these leftovers?
More than likely the meat you just gave your dog has a lot of fat, or seasoning on it. These things are not good for your dog. As much as you'd like to give your cat a sip of milk out of your bowl, but it's really not a good idea.
Foods like grapes, milk products, alcohol, nuts, onions and garlic, can be very harmful to your pet. In some cases they may cause mild diarrhea, and in others, liver or kidney failure. Please always be aware of what you're feeding your pets. Make sure their regular diet is nutrient-rich so you don't feel like you have to give them table scraps.
At Lombard Animal Hospital, in Portland, Oregon we strive to increase the quality of life for pets and their people through education, nutrition and wellness!
Give us a call -- We'd love to see you and your pets!
