(1) Incorrect feeding
Humans seem to have this fixation with over-stuffing themselves during festive season (perhaps that’s why it’s called a festive season); and we then carry our gourmand self-indulgence over to the pets.
Actually, there are many who see Christmas as a bacchanalian rite with heathen pleasure splurges that have nothing to do with the birth of Christ. I am not going to get into that theological debate, but I am convinced that many of us believe that the festive season must extend to animals also. So we feel that our pets must gorge themselves full with all the junk food (or residues therefrom).
Well, that is wrong. Dogs and cats couldn’t
