Urgent warning for dog owners as BBQ season approaches and normal outdoor activities could lead to painful problems
AS summer approaches, you might want to limit the time your beloved pooch spends outside, especially if you're planning on firing up the grill.
Hanging out with friends for a barbecue is an ideal way to spend time during the summer but an animal expert says there are some dangers the activity can pose to your pet.Dr. Joanna Woodnutt said that pet-owning households that own a barbecue has a higher increase in threats to pet safety,While you might be tempted to throw your beloved pet a treat from the grill, Woodnutt is warning you to think twice before doing so.
If ingested, your poor animal can have symptoms that include vomiting, diarrhea, and a low appetite, according to Woodnutt. Dogs can also suffer damage to red blood cells from Allium toxicity and this damage is cumulative, meaning a small amount eaten often could be just as harmful as eating a big serving in one sitting.
Sausages and burgers also contain traces of onions and garlic, so you should be wary of feeding that to your pets as well.While corn itself isn't a danger to your pet, it's the inner cob that poses a problem, Woodnutt explains.
