BBQ season is upon us and an afternoon outdoors just isn’t complete without your four legged friend accompanying you. To make sure your dog is safe and that your BBQ is as stress free as possible for both you and your dog, follow our four handy hints.
1. Store dangerous food safely
Whilst some foods are safe to share with your pooch, some can can be dangerous and even toxic if eaten by dogs. Unfortunately, your dog does not know the difference so it’s up to you to keep your dog away either by either putting food out of reach or storing it in sealed containers. For a list of particularly toxic foods, visit our post about food your dog should never eat. Also bear in mind that even though some foods may not be toxic, they can burn your dog if they are super hot and gobbled down straight off the grill.A great idea is to put out some dog-safe snacks for you and your guests to give to your dog, this way you can control what – and how much – he’s eating and relax knowing he’s safe.
2. Restrict access to the grill
3. Protect against the heat
4. Keep bug repellant away
