These snacks are examples:
- Chicken Wings
Chicken wings are a must in every Super Bowl. However, if your pets got a hold of these, cooked chicken bones can break and become lodged in their throat or digestive tract.
- Toothpick Appetizers
Toothpicks appetizers with meat and cheese smell good, even the lingering smell on the toothpicks can tempt your dogs to eat them. Toothpicks can poke and damage your dog's throat.
- Alcohol
Your dogs' bodies cannot process alcohol. If they accidentally drink them from discarded cups, it can cause nervous system issues, vomiting, diarrhea, and hypothermia.
