🎄 Christmas Foods That Are Dangerous for Dogs
🎅🐾 Christmas is full of tempting treats — but many of them aren’t safe for dogs.
While we enjoy mince pies, chocolates, and leftovers, our pets could be at serious risk if they get hold of the wrong foods.
Here are 10 Christmas-season foods to keep well out of paw’s reach:
❌ Chocolate – Especially dark & baking chocolate
❌ Grapes & raisins – Found in mince pies, Christmas cake & puddings
❌ Onions & garlic – Often in stuffing, gravy & roasts
❌ Xylitol – In sugar-free sweets & chewing gum
❌ Caffeine – Coffee, tea, cola
❌ Alcohol – Even small amounts are toxic
❌ Macadamia nuts – Common in festive snack bowls
❌ Avocado – Contains harmful persin
❌ Yeast dough – Rises inside the stomach
❌ Cooked bones & fat trimmings – Dangerous splintering & pancreatitis risk
Keeping presents, leftovers, and treat bowls out of reach will help your dog enjoy a safe, cosy Christmas at home. 🎄❤️
