Pet Party Tips From Veterinarian Dr. Babette Gladstein

Planning a party for your pet may seem like a chore. After all, the standard people party platters just won't do. While that double chocolate devil cake might look great for you and your guests, it's like poison for your pet.

In order to enjoy whatever party you throw your furry friend, treat these specific foods and ingredients as a foe: onions, chocolate, grapes, nuts, caffeine, chili, sugar, candy, dried fruit, potato chips, pretzels. In general, spicy foods, junk food, and sugar are no best friend to man's best friend. When selecting food for your pet, pretend your shopping for your 90-year-old grandmother. Take into account their weight and any preexisting conditions, as the wrong food could spoil the fun and cause permanent damage.
