Minimizing Emergency Veterinary Visits this Holiday Season Healthy Pet Section FurryFriendFIT 5) Raisins. Raisins are fatally toxic to some dogs, even in relatively small quantities. It is unknown which dog (or possibly which raisin) will have a problem, so it’s recommended to keep dogs away fromraisins in general. 6) Many other foods items such as macadamia nuts, grapes, coffee, alcohol, moldy food, and uncooked meats can also cause toxicity and disease in dogs and cats, and should be avoided. Holiday Plants Dangerous to Pets Many of us enjoy the sights and smells of seasonal plants around the holidays. However, some of them are mildly to moderately toxic to dogs and cats. Minimizing pet exposure or eliminating these plants from the home altogether is recommended. By Jamie M. Burkitt, DVM The holidays are a fun time of year, but the associated celebrations often include food, plants, and other items that can be dangerous for pets. It’s important to keep these things in mind to minimize the likelihood of your pet getting into trouble and requiring urgent care. Holiday Foods Dangerous to Pets All foods in the list below should be kept away frompets altogether. It’s best to report any ingestion to a veterinarian immediately. 1) Mistletoe. The berries and leaves of mistletoe are toxic, and can cause gastrointestinal and cardiovascular problems. It is safest to avoid mistletoe if you have pets, since problems can be quite severe. However, if your pet ingests mistletoe, call a veterinarian immediately for advice. 2) Holly. Holly is mildly toxic, and ingestion can cause irritation to the mouth and upper gastrointestinal tract. Most commonly, pets that eat holly leaves will show hypersalivation, head shaking, pawing at the mouth, poor appetite, and some vomiting. These signs may be mild or can be severe in some cases. Ingestion of large quantities can cause obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract, which is an emergency indicated by moderate 1) Chocolate. Chocolate is toxic to dogs, and the darker (purer) the chocolate, the more potential for toxicity. Therefore, even small amounts of baking chocolate, cacao beans, cacao nibs, cacao powder in baked or unbaked items, or dark / semisweet chocolates can cause severe problems. Mild chocolate toxicity leads to vomiting, diarrhea, and some hyperactivity, while severe chocolate toxicity can cause heart rhythm abnormalities, seizures, collapse and even death. Be sure to keep your furry friends away fromthe chocolate treats this season! If Fido does accidentally get into treats containing chocolate, call a veterinarian for advice. 2) Xylitol. Xylitol is an artificial sweetener found in many sugar-free gums, candies, vitamins, and medications for humans. It can also be purchased in bulk as a sugar substitute for baking. While xylitol has some known benefits to dental health in people, it is highly toxic to dogs and can cause low blood sugar and liver failure in dogs. If your pet ingests xylitol, immediately take him to a veterinarian for attention, as the side effects can be dire. 3) Onions, garlic, leeks. These and other similar pungent root vegetables and their extracts cause anemia and potentially bleeding abnormalities in dogs and cats. Cats are particularly sensitive to the effects of these vegetables, while dogs are somewhat more resistant. In general, pets should not be fed items that contain onions, garlic, and similar as seasoning. 4) Nutmeg. In relatively large quantities (i.e. ¼ tsp. or more), nutmeg can cause gastrointestinal upset and hallucinations in pets, and so should be avoided.
