We
at BURNS PET NUTRITION would like to wish each and everyone
of our customers a very happy Christmas.
As there may be a little over-indulgence during the festive
period the temptation is to invite our pets to do the same.
Treats and trimmings will be flowing from every angle and
fallen crumbs are in abundance.
A Few Seasonal Words of Advice!
If
you do feed your dog a few extra treats at Christmas, or
a share of the turkey dinner, please ensure the amount of
Burns fed is reduced. If your dog is lucky enough to be
visited by Santa with a stocking full of edible goodies,
please ration the amount of treats fed and the amount of
Burns given.
As we all know over-indulging can leave you feeling stuffed
and a little sick at times! It is no different for our dogs.
Unsupervised
dogs who have been lucky enough to receive presents, can
demolish them playfully, but then swallow the small pieces
of plastic causing problems. Stolen presents from under
the tree and secretly unwrapped in your dog’s favourite
hiding place or bed may also cause problems if eaten!
Those
of you who have real Christmas trees should watch the dog’s
feet. The pine needles can stick in or become lodged between
the toes or pads of your dog’s feet. This is very
painful and if undetected may cause infection.
If
your dog does suffer from digestive upset over the Christmas
period, the cause will probably be Over-indulgence! Rest
your dogs stomach for 24 hours, feeding cooked rice after
this time with a slow re-introduction of the usual food
only.
If your dog or cat does have digestive problems over the
festive period, and you are struggling to get the system
back to normal, then contact our free nutritional advice
