When your pets go out of bounds at the snack table, the main event can turn into a trip to the emergency vet.

Thankfully, you can keep your pet safe with a little game day preparation.

Game day safety for pet owners

Don’t drop the ball when it comes to pet safety on game day.

Be the referee when it comes to snacks

Tailgating treats can be irresistible for your pets. Make sure to keep food in sight and out of paw’s reach.

Know the playbook

Prevent accidental pet poisoning before the game starts so you can watch with less worry.

• Keep a lid on trash cans and keep your pet out of trouble

• Don’t leave food on low tables where pets can reach

• Keep any snack displays in sight if possible

• Walk pets early so they’re less inclined to cause mischief
