The Schwarzman Animal Medical Center emphasizes that while we enjoy Labor Day, pets face risks from food, celebrations, and gatherings during the festivities. To ensure their safety, it’s vital to be vigilant about what they consume.
Dr. Carly Fox of AMC alerts that many common picnic foods can pose significant health risks to pets, advising owners to keep hazardous items like grapes, chocolate, and alcohol out of reach.
AMC warns against giving pets fatty foods and scraps from barbecues, as they can lead to serious health issues such as pancreatitis, which can be life-threatening.
As festivities ramp up, securing the trash and monitoring the grill are critical actions to prevent accidental injuries from pet behavior, especially when they may knock over barriers.
