This week’s discussion is with Dr Andrew Cornwell, owner of Cardiff Veterinary Hospital and Cameron Park Veterinary Hospital. The focus is common household foods that can be dangerous for cats and dogs, and the warning signs owners need to watch for.

Many pet emergencies happen at home when animals eat food left on benches or are given human scraps. Some foods cause mild stomach upset, while others can lead to organ failure, seizures, or death.

Most pet poisonings are preventable. Knowing which foods are dangerous, keeping them out of reach, and acting quickly if something is eaten can significantly reduce risk and save lives.
