A veterinarian shares what classic Easter foods are OK for the family pet and which ones should be avoided, plus a pet-safe Easter treat recipe.
, the treats — it's always egg-citing when Easter comes around! Your little ones are no doubt counting down the days untilso they can race down the stairs to start their egg hunt and find all sorts of tasty goodies like. What about your pets, though? They'd probably like to get in on the action, too. But while you'd love to include your fur family in the festivities, some Easter foods are delicious for us but dangerous for pets.
And beware of dark chocolate and baking chocolate since Butzer says both are especially high in theobromine, making them even more dangerous for our furry friends.While this may seem pretty broad, you can never be too careful. Some sugar-free candy contains artificial sweeteners such as xylitol, which Butzer says is really dangerous for your pets. It's known to drop blood sugar levels, create liver damage, and can even be fatal.
And one thing that's often overlooked but you'll definitely want to remember? "Make sure to communicate with your guests about not feeding your pets any table scraps or Easter treats."Signs that your pet may have eaten something toxic to them can vary depending on the substance ingested, says Butzer.
