We Interupt This Program...


.... For a public service announcement. I enjoy people food as much as the next dog, but there are some foods that Linda never gives me. The ASPCA receives over 130,000 calls a year from anxious owners calling about possible pet poisonings, mostly from human food and house stuff. Hear are a few of the foods in no particular order that are dangerous for us: Avocados; nuts; candy; beer; chocolate; caffeine; grapes & raisins. The real shocker for me was that onions are poisonous to pets. Licky (the black cat who used to be Chips buddy) loved pizza with onions and black olives. He would pooh-pooh the meats in favor of all the veggies. Some of the good foods we can eat are: Lean meats, fruits; some veggies; potatoes; plain bread; rice & pasta. Of course if you have a sensitive tummy, it would be a good idea to check with your vet. Bon Appitite!
