Pet Safe Christmas Dinner
Most of us can agree, the best part of Christmas day is the food. With feasting being such an important part of the special day, it's easy to think your pets are missing out on all the fun! Many of us will feed our companion animals scraps from the table, or even make them their own Christmas dinner out of leftovers, however it is important to remember that not everything on the dinner table is safe to share.
