THANKSGIVING TIPS FOR PET OWNERS
Tips to ensure that your pets are safe and happy during the Thanksgiving Season:
Keep food out of easy reach! Agile and creative dogs or cats can nap a special treat from the kitchen counter, trash or even the dining room table.
Resist giving your furry pal leftovers. Rich and fatty foods like dressing, pie, and gravy can lead to serious and painful pancreatitis.
