We all love a good BBQ, and our pets love being part of the action. But BBQ season comes with hidden hazards for curious paws and noses. Here’s how to keep your pet safe while they enjoy the fun!
1. Avoid Toxic FoodsSome BBQ staples like onions, garlic, grapes, and chocolate are toxic to pets. Keep plates and BBQ areas out of reach, and make sure friends and family know not to feed the “begging face.”
Better Option: Bring along some pet-friendly treats. This way, they can snack safely without temptation from the grill.
2. Say No to ScrapsBBQ bones and fatty trimmings can be dangerous – cooked bones splinter easily and can cause blockages, while fatty foods may trigger pancreatitis. Both conditions are emergency-level serious, so skip the scraps.
3. Watch for Garbage RaidersPets often sniff out garbage leftovers and can make a meal of old corn cobs, bones, or wrappers. Designate a trash spot out of reach, and make sure it stays closed. A curious pet can get into trash trouble before you know it.
4. Stay HydratedIf the BBQ is outdoors, make sure your pet has fresh water and shade. Dogs and cats can get dehydrated or overheat easily when surrounded by people and activity. Ice water can be refreshing, but avoid giving them frozen water directly to prevent tooth issues.
With these precautions in place, you and your pet can enjoy BBQ season with peace of mind. Share these BBQ safety tips with fellow pet-loving friends to keep everyone’s pets safe and happy!
