At Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Minnesota, the \u201choliday season\u201d starts with Halloween. What, you say? Too early? Well, it\u2019s not too early for dogs to get into Halloween buckets and binge on chocolate and other treats that can cause pancreatitis or chocolate toxicosis. Then, of course, comes Thanksgiving with its turkey bones and carcasses to raid. Then there\u2019s Christmas, with all of the hazards that pine needles, tinsel, and holiday chocolates and pies can bring.<\/p>\n

This year, we want to share with you some \u201cpet-safe\u201d goodies! We all want to spoil our pets as we spoil our other family members, but we don\u2019t have to jeopardize their health while we do it.<\/p>\n
