Dr. Lara Silveri from our partner The Michigan Humane Society came in studio to talk about dangers for you pets around the holidays.
Thanksgiving can be a dangerous time because it's tempting to give the table scraps to our pets, but this isn't safe for them. Actually, it can cause problems such as pancreatitis and there is a higher likelihood that your pet could ingest a foreign object.
In case your pet eats table scraps, there are many signs of warning to look out for including: vomiting, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite.
Dr. Silveri says in order to protect your pets, you should ask your guest to be considerate, put your pet in a quiet room, and secure the garbage at night.
