Despite thinking this one may be obvious, dogs are not allowed to drink ANY alcohol, mulled wine, drinking chocolate, or any other festive beverages.
And leftover Christmas dinner is also an inappropriate treat for your dog, as onions, garlic, leaks, shallots and chives can wreak havoc on their digestive system.They can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, and damage to red blood cells.
The job doesn't end there for eagle-eyed owners either, as they need to beware of holly berries and mistletoe during this time of year. Dogs can suffer from vomiting, diarrhea and lethargy if they mistakenly consume the Christmas plants. If your dog does consume any of these treats, even in small amounts, it is important to act quickly and owners are advised to take the dog to the vet.
So pooches don't feel too left out over the festive period, Dogs Trust have came up with a recipe using leftovers from your Christmas dinner toSimply save some plain chicken or turkey - making sure there are no bones - grab some leftover veg, add a sprinkling of cheddar cheese and cram it into your pastry.Grapes, raisins, sultanas, avocado, onion and macadamia nuts are all unsafe for your dogs to eat.
