🍗 Bones – cooked chicken, lamb, or roast dinner bones can splinter, causing choking or internal injuries.
🌽 Corn on the cob – still a seasonal favourite, but dangerous if swallowed whole, as it can cause blockages.
🥘 Fatty leftovers – gravies, fatty meats, and roast trimmings can upset stomachs and may even trigger pancreatitis.
🍇 Toxic foods – onions, garlic, grapes, and raisins (often found in autumn bakes and fruit cakes) are poisonous to pets.
🍫 Chocolate – with Halloween around the corner, be mindful of sweets and chocolate, which are highly toxic to dogs.
✅ Don’t let pets scavenge from plates or the table.
✅ Keep leftovers, bones, and food waste securely out of reach.
✅ Remind family and guests not to feed scraps.
✅ Store seasonal treats like fruit cakes, chocolates, and sweets safely away from curious paws.
✅ Provide pets with their own safe chews or treats so they don’t feel left out.
