Just like holidays and beach days, BBQs and alfresco dining are synonymous with summer. However, our friends at <\/span>Vets Now<\/span><\/a> treat more injuries and poisonings during summer, with a number of cases associated with barbecues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dave Leicester, Head of Telehealth at <\/span>Vets Now<\/span>, explains:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWe see a number of unusual injuries at this time of year as barbecues and summertime parties in particular can be hazardous for pets. As well as swallowing kebab skewers, eating cooked bones, developing food poisoning, or sustaining burn injuries from stealing piping hot food from the barbecue, pets can also sustain traumatic injuries such as getting their tails stuck in patio doors and exercise related mishaps.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And so, they\u2019ve created their top five for Pets Pyjamas to keep your dogs safe\u00a0during barbecue season.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

1. Remember party food is not for pets<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Make sure you keep food and drink out of reach. Be aware which human foods are dangerous\u00a0to your pets, and make sure your guests know the rules too. Alcohol,\u00a0<\/span>corn on the cob<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>bones<\/span><\/a>\u00a0are particularly dangerous barbecue hazards. Foods high in fat\u00a0can cause inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which can be very serious, and sometimes even fatal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. Establish boundaries<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sizzling sausages and other delicious hot food can be hard for a dog to resist. But hot food, when swallowed whole, could cause damage to the digestive tract, resulting in ulcers and dehydration. Ensure this doesn\u2019t happen by establishing boundaries. Grease drippings can also be alluring but combined with gravel grease can get stuck in their digestive tract.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Know your plants<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning to spruce up your garden, make sure you know which\u00a0<\/span>plants are poisonous<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to your pet. For example,\u00a0<\/span>lilies<\/span><\/a>\u00a0are particularly poisonous to cats, laburnum\u00a0is\u00a0poisonous to dogs, and\u00a0<\/span>daffodils<\/span><\/a>, rhododendron\u00a0and\u00a0yew are poisonous to both cats and dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

4. Keep rubbish out of reach<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We all know how skilled our pets, particularly dogs, can be when it comes to sniffing out tasty\u00a0<\/span>leftovers<\/span><\/a>. If covered in grease or other food leftovers,\u00a0aluminium\u00a0foil, plastic wrap, matches and\u00a0<\/span>kebab skewers<\/span><\/a>\u00a0can be very dangerous if your pet gets hold of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

5. Make sure your dog doesn\u2019t go for a wander alone<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Parties can be a busy time with visiting friends, so make sure your pet doesn\u2019t make an escape in the commotion. It may be worth making sure there\u2019s an unoccupied room for them to relax in. But be careful they don\u2019t get shut into a conservatory or greenhouse, as these can heat up very easily in summer and cause\u00a0<\/span>heat stroke<\/span><\/a>\u00a0which is often life-threatening.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n
