Would
you give a child a puff of a cigarette if he asked? What about giving a
toddler alcohol because she grabbed your glass? Of course not! So why
would you give your pet ice cream, cookies, coffee drinks, corn on the
cob etc.? We all want to spoil our pets and it's very hard to resist
those begging eyes. But human treats are not good for them even if in
tiny amounts. For ex: most yorkies
have sensitive digestion and some may only weigh 3 to 4 pounds. A
teaspoon of ice cream could cause pancreatitis and worse. As much as we
want to humanize our pets, their digestive tracts and immune systems
are very different than ours. Sugar weakens their immune system making
them more susceptible to allergies, skin problems, ear infections, UTIs,
diabetes and cancer. You can still lavish love on your pets by having
lots of healthy pet goodies available such as Stella and Chewys or Instinct Pet Food freeze dried treats. It's hard but please think of
your pet's health first.
