Also, cut back on meal size if you are going to give them table treats. Supervise your dog around toys and visitors at all times regardless of how receptive they may appear. Keep plants away from pets. Plants such as mistletoe and poinsettias are poisonous to dogs and cats. Chocolate as a gift from the family could kill your pet.
Many animals are allergic to chocolate.
Poultry or other meat bones are not appropriate holiday treats for dogs. They wreck havoc with your dogs digestive tract. If giving marrow soup bones, boil briefly first. Remind young visitors that ear tugging and tail yanking are not appropriate.
