ORANGE PARK, Fla. – Clay Humane, a nonprofit veterinary clinic in Orange Park, urges pet owners to keep animals safe this Thanksgiving.
Don’t give pets a lot of new foods at once: Foods that are new or different for your pet can cause stomach distress.
Do not give pets poisonous foods: Some foods, including chocolate, onions, raisins, grapes and alcohol, are hazardous for animals.
Know when and how to seek veterinary help: Should your pet get sick over Thanksgiving, ensure that you know the names and addresses of nearby emergency veterinarians.
Compose a list of emergency veterinarians that will be open on Thanksgiving and keep it handy in emergency situations.
