HOLIDAY PET SAFETY GUIDE BY DR. RANDALL S. MURRAY, DVM WESTRIDGE ANIMAL HOSPITAL PHOTOS BY MATT CORNELIUS
The holidays bring joy and potential hazards for our pets. Here is how to keep your furry family members safe this season. While the dishes we serve our loved ones may be delicious, our pets’ stomachs are not designed for holiday menus. At Westridge, we often see a wave of “post-holiday” tummy troubles. The holidays are the most common times we treat pets for gastritis, colitis, and pancreatitis, which can be caused by
the well-intentioned sharing of festive foods. By taking a few simple precautions, you can prevent emergency vet visits and keep your pets healthy through the holidays.
Fun fact: Tilley, our cover dog, is a
patient of Dr. Murray.
