Festive Dangers for Dogs!

[Catherine]

I don't think any pate should be given to a pet. There are all kinds of seasonings in them that might be harmful. There are pet foods that look like pate that can be served to the pet when we serve ourselves.
We should always be careful that pets can't get at our food. We can eat many things that they can't.

Many human foods have onions and garlic in them and they could harm a pet. Foods often have more fat than a dog can safely eat.  Any human food given to a dog must be carefully chosen so it is safe. We just want to treat our pets, but we don't want to "treat" them to death. Better safe than sorry.
