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. (c) 2003 DBR Media, Inc. I IA] m I?
