At Christmas time, it can be tempting to let your four-legged companion enjoy a share of the festive spread. We all know how difficult it can be to resist those puppy dog eyes while you hold the remainder of a mince pie. But unless you fancy a trip to the emergency vets, it might be better to keep some treats to yourself.
While we tuck into our delicious turkey dinners and selection boxes, it’s important to remind ourselves that not every Christmas treat is designed to be suitable for our dogs - and some can even be deadly.
While it's well-known that some food, such as chocolates and raisins, can be damaging to a dog's health, there are other snacks and seasonal risks which could also prove deadly for canines. Now, The Kennel Club has issued a warning to owners ahead of the festive weekend.
