We rescued this from the vaults of the Family Pet Podcast, and the topic is relevant as we navigate the winter holiday season. In this episode of the Family Pet Podcast, hosts Michael and Stephen discuss many food items that can poison your pet with Dr. Renee Schmid, a veterinary toxicologist. They explore various toxins that pets may encounter during the summer months, including common household items, outdoor hazards, and the importance of using pet-safe products. The conversation emphasizes the need for pet parents to be aware of potential dangers and provides practical advice for keeping pets safe during the summer. Dr. Schmid also shares insights on the Pet Poison Helpline and how to handle emergencies involving pet toxins.
