Nothing says summer like a BBQ, and our pets love being part of the festivities. But BBQ season can come with hidden risks for curious pets. Here’s how to keep your pet safe while everyone enjoys the BBQ!
1. Keep Toxic Foods Out of Reach
BBQ staples like onions, garlic, grapes, and chocolate can be toxic to pets. Make sure plates and BBQ areas are out of reach, and remind friends and family not to share with the “begging face.”
Pet-Friendly Treats: Bring some pet-safe treats along so they can enjoy the fun without the danger of harmful snacks.
2. Skip the Scraps
Bones and fatty trimmings from the BBQ can be dangerous for pets – cooked bones splinter easily and can cause blockages, while fatty foods may trigger pancreatitis, which can be a serious emergency. It’s best to avoid giving them any BBQ leftovers.
3. Keep an Eye on the Trash
BBQ leftovers like corn cobs, bones, and wrappers are often irresistible to pets. Designate a trash bin out of reach, and make sure it stays closed, so curious pets can’t get into trouble.
4. Ensure Fresh Water and Shade
If your BBQ is outdoors, make sure your pet has plenty of fresh water and a shady spot to relax in. Being surrounded by activity can lead to dehydration and overheating. Ice water can be refreshing, but avoid giving them frozen water directly to protect their teeth.
With these simple precautions, you and your pet can enjoy BBQ season worry-free! Share these tips with friends to help keep everyone’s pets safe and happy at the next BBQ!
