KEEPING PETS SAFE FOR THE HOLIDAYS
By David Gersh
The Holiday Season is a wonderful time of year but can also be dangerous for our pets. Keep these simple things in mind and you and your pet will both have a happy holiday. Turkey Bones: Although it may be tempting to give your pet a holiday treat, under no circumstances should they be given turkey bones. The small bones or fragments of the bones from a turkey can become lodged in your pet’s throat, stomach or intestines.
