Safety Tips for Grilling with Your Dog

• Supervision is Key: Always keep an eye on your dog around the grill to prevent accidents or burns.
• Avoid Harmful Foods: Steer clear of onions, garlic, avocados, and any foods seasoned with salt, pepper, or spices.
• Hydration: Ensure your dog has plenty of fresh water available, especially on hot days.
• Moderation: Treats are great, but balance is crucial. Don’t overfeed your dog with BBQ goodies.
