One thing Grand Junction pet owners have in common is that we love to spoil our pets.
The grocery store shelves are lined with all kinds of food for dogs and cats. If you go to a pet store, you'll see aisle after aisle of dog and cat food in cans and bags. In fact, it's almost mind-boggling to see so many varieties of pet food. Yet, we just can't help ourselves when it comes to giving our pets special human food treats.
Once your pet discovers human food, you are doomed to a lifetime of spoiling your beloved pet. How can you possibly resist that sweet face, that longing look, and those adorable begging eyes? And when you see the joy and pleasure your pet gets from each special treat, you only want to do it more and more.
I've never been one to give my dog scraps from the table, but I have been as guilty as the next person when it comes to showering it with special treats - a chip, a cracker, gravy on the dry dog food, a sprinkling of cheese, and watching with delight as they lick the nearly empty whipped cream container clean.
Recently, we asked pet owners to tell us what human food their pet is obsessed with and we found out we are not alone when it comes to giving our pets special treats. We received some fantastic responses and we can tell Grand Junction loves to spoil their pets, and Grand Junction pets clearly love to eat some crazy human foods.
To prepare yourself for a potential incident, always keep your vet's phone number handy, along with an after-hours clinic you can call in an emergency. The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center also has a hotline you can call at (888) 426-4435 for advice.
Even with all of these resources, however, the best cure for food poisoning is preventing it in the first place. To give you an idea of what human foods can be dangerous, Stacker has put together a slideshow of 30 common foods to avoid. Take a look to see if there are any that surprise you.
