    With the festive season shortly being upon us please be aware of what “human” foods you give your animal. Chocolate cannot be processed by a dog’s liver and there are certain types of sweetener that are toxic. Foods to avoid include: chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, nuts, raisins, avocado and cooked bones. Medicines can also be dangerous to your pet and you should never give them any drugs not prescribed by your vet.

    The drought issue is still a very real problem in Grahamstown and the surrounding areas, and it is vitally important that all your animals also have access to the water they need.

    For more information and or advice on animal care, please do not hesitate to contact the Grahamstown SPCA or one of the friendly vets in town.
