A lot of festive food could be potentially fatal to pets
The RSPCA has issued a warning to pet owners about the dangers of festive food and the damage they may cause if consumed by animals. Christmas time means having lots of delicious food and drink in the house - and with it being a time for sharing a lot of these products may be left open and unattended as they get passed from person to person. On their website, the animal charity states: 'Festive food is delicious, but much of it is highly toxic and dangerous to our pets.
He said: 'The obvious one that people think of it chocolate, but also raisins. There are all sorts of things that contain raisins including Christmas pudding and mince pies.' If your pet does pick something up they shouldn't have, Vet James Greenwood has suggested bartering with them and trying to exchange what they have in their mouth for a tasty treat before they swallow it.
