Pets don’t need to join feast
By cuzzy | November 5, 2007
A festive feast is special for the family. So if some of your family is four-legged, it seems only right to share with them too.
But the results aren’t always festive, as Sandi Garcia of Denver, Colo., learned the hard way with Holly, a golden retriever. Just before dinner, Garcia set down a lovely plate of turkey and stuffing topped with gravy.
“She gulped it down in two seconds flat. Then we humans sat down and said grace,” says Garcia. “Just as we were about to dig in, Holly appeared in the dining room and proceeded to throw up her entire turkey dinner in front of all the guests.”
Fortunately, Holly didn’t suffer any long-term consequences. The same couldn’t be said for the holiday meal.
“Needless to say, nobody had an appetite after that and dinner was served as leftovers the next few days — when we could stomach it.”
Holly’s reaction isn’t surprising. Giving dogs food they aren’t used to, even a new kind of dog food, can easily lead to an upset stomach, says Dr. Ken Drobatz, director of emergency medicine and professor of critical care at the University of Pennsylvania veterinary school hospital. More serious problems, both long-term and emergency, also can occur when pets help devour the holiday meal. Exercise both caution and moderation to keep your pet safe for many holidays to come.
