LifeHack suggests watching out for these 4 things to keep your pup safe this grilling season.<br />1. Choking hazards.<br />The most dangerous thing for dogs at barbecues , is choking.<br />According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), things like bones, corn cobs and discarded wooden skewers pose a serious choking hazard to pups.<br />Unattended plates make an irresistible target for dogs.<br />2. Avoid salt and fat.<br />Dogs can't digest as much salt and fat as humans. <br />They should avoid salty snacks, greasy grill plates and processed foods like hot dogs.<br />3. The actual grill.<br />Not only do fur and fire make a dangerous combination but charcoal briquettes and lighter fluid are highly toxic if ingested. <br />There is also the danger of the dog knocking over the grill itself. <br />4. Caffeine and alcohol. <br />Caffeine and alcohol can cause everything from vomiting to seizures, depending on the dog and how much they drink.<br />Overall, LifeHack says the best way to keep your furry friends safe at a barbecue is to keep a close eye on them.
