Pet Corner
By Cleo & Brad Conrad
This time of year, people host
lots of parties and get-togethers.
This usually means tons of left
over goodies in the refrigerator.
It also means lots of food going
into the trash can. Many of the
party foods are dairy items, such
as dips and cheeses. These are
definitely enticing to your dog
or cat.
Dairy foods have a tendency
to get moldy when they get
old. This is not a good thing.
NEVER feed the moldy items
to your dog or cat thinking it
won’t harm them. These spoiled
foods are actually toxic to your
pet. In fact, some deaths have
been attributed to dogs and cats
ingesting moldy dairy foods.
If discarding the moldy food,
don’t let it sit around in your
trash can. That will tempt the
pet to knock it over to get to the
food. Also, who in their right
mind wants the smell in their
home? The best thing to do
is get rid of the garbage right
away.
Another no-no for pets is pork.
That means you shouldn’t feed
him cocktail weenies, pepperoni
slices (or related pork/salami
bits), ham, etc. Pork is difficult
enough for people to digest. It’s
doubly hard on a pet’s digestive
system.
If you’re hosting a party, be
sure your guests are instructed
not to sneak tidbits to your pets.
In fact, to avoid disaster, keep
the pets out of the area where
you’re having the party. This
will do two things: Your pet
won’t be confused and fright
ened by all the people and the
noise; and, guests won’t be able
to sneak contraband food to him.
If you suspect your pet has
somehow gotten hold of moldy
cheese or dairy food, watch him
carefully. If he gets diarrhea and
begins to vomit, rush him to the
vet immediately. Waiting and
thinking it will pass could be
fatal.
