The holidays put your pets at eye level with the festive table. What can you share safely? The answer comes in two columns: fine and toxic.
✅ What You Can Share (in moderation)
- Turkey or chicken — without skin or seasoning
- Cooked green beans — a good source of fibre
- A little cheese — if your pet tolerates dairy well
Always check for known allergies before introducing a new food.
🚫 What Is Dangerous or Toxic
- Foie gras — too fatty, risk of pancreatitis
- Smoked salmon — too high in salt
- Cooked bones — splinter and can perforate the intestine
- Chestnuts — can cause intestinal obstruction
- Grapes and dried fruit — acute kidney failure in dogs
- Chocolate — theobromine is a genuine POISON for pets
- Onions, garlic, leeks — haemolytic anaemia
- Alcohol — extremely dangerous even in tiny amounts
In Case of Accidental Ingestion
Contact the veterinary poison control centre immediately (France: 04 78 87 10 40) or your on-call vet. Never induce vomiting without professional advice.
