SAFE PEOPLE FOOD FOR PETS
Sometimes it’s hard to resist those adorable eyes as we’re eating our delicious snacks and meals. But, the reality is that animals metabolize foods differently than humans. This means that foods that are safe for humans may be harmful, even deadly for our pets.
People foods should only be given as an occasional treat, as many have a high fat content which can lead to health issues such as pancreatitis. When giving fruit, pits and seeds should always be removed, as they are poisonous to pets.
The following list of foods are generally safe for pets and some even may be recommended by your veterinarian to supplement your pets diet.
