PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE… Just because we humans like to indulge in the

feast does not mean it is good for our dogs.

Rich, fatty foods can seriously upset your dog's

stomach and even be toxic. It is especially

important to keep your dog away from the

following dangerous foods: Onions, which can

cause anaemia (high levels of garlic can,

too), grapes and raisins, chocolate, bones

(especially cooked bones and ANY poultry

bones), alcoholic beverages and any foods

high in fat, sodium and/or sugar.

BUYING A
LIVE PET

• It is easy to succumb to the
adorable puppies, kittens and
bunnies who appear in pet
store windows at this time of
year. Pressure from a child is
a temptation for parents but
spur of the moment
purchases often end in
abandonment for those pets
who are dumped in pounds
when the novelty wears off.

Adopting a baby animal is a
LONG TERM COMMITMENT
not to be taken impulsively. A
better option for Christmas gift
for a child? A cute, cuddly toy
or a book about caring for pets.

CHRIST MAS
CANDLES

• Place candles on high shelves, Telephone: 9890 7220
away from curious noses and 16 Ross Street, PARRAMATTA. 2150
wagging tails. Your pet can be
seriously injured if a candle ignites
his tail or his fur. Emergency
treatment for dogs with burns is
costly and if the burns are severe,
they can be fatal to your pet.
