Do not treat if your pet has a history of calcium oxalate bladder stones or other kidney issues. • Strawberries are a good source of fiber and vitamin C and contain an enzyme that can help whiten teeth. • Cooked sweet potatoes are fine, but use as a treat in moderation. • Watermelons are a good source of potassium and vitamins A, B6 and C. When used as a treat, use seedless and without the rind. • Yogurt is fine, but treat plain and monitor closely to make sure your pet can tolerate lactose. Unsafe Foods for Pets • Avocados contain persin, a toxin that causes vomiting and diarrhea. • Bones can splinter and cause choking as well as serious damage to your pet’s mouth, throat and intestines. • Cherry plants contain cyanide and are toxic. Symptoms of cyanide poisoning include dilated pupils, difficulty breathing and red gums. • Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which dogs and cats cannot metabolize, especially dark chocolate. Toxins in chocolate cause vomiting, diarrhea and possibly death. • Cinnamon can irritate the inside of your pet’s mouth and lower its blood sugar too much, leading to vomiting, diarrhea, decreased heart rate and liver disease. • Dairy products can upset your pets’ stomachs if they are lactose intolerant. Many cats are lactose intolerant. • Grapes and raisins can lead to sudden kidney failure. • Ice cream is high in sugar, and some pets are lactose intolerant. • Lemons and limes can be toxic. • Macadamia nuts are part of the proteaceae family, which causes vomiting, lethargy, inability to walk and affects the nervous system. • Mushrooms bought in the store should be safe for pets to eat, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

A Digestive Reset for Dogs and Cats Digestive issues such as vomiting and diarrhea are common in both dogs and cats. They can be caused by a variety of factors and are normally a temporary condition. To help settle your pet’s stomach, feed this bland combination of boiled chicken and rice after a fasting period of about 12 hours. Adjust portions according to your pet’s size. Make sure your pet has access to plenty of water, as digestive issues are very dehydrating. If the issues continue for a prolonged period of time, are accompanied by blood, or your pet becomes lethargic, contact your veterinarian. Ingredients: 1 cup white rice 1 cup chicken, boneless and skin less Method: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add chicken, and boil until cooked through. Remove from water, and set aside to cool. Combine rice with 1 cup of water in a small pot. Bring to a boil. Cover and lower heat to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes. Combine chicken and rice, and allow to cool to room temperature before serving. ª 407498-7047
