So, for this week's Animal Answers we look at some foods you should make sure your pets stay away from.
For many, pets are part of the family, but you'll want to keep an eye on them when barbecuing in the summer.
There's a lot of meat folks grill, so veterinarians say "be careful" and exercise caution if you're going to feed your pet some of this meat.
"Be very careful about food that is too fatty, certain meats are and I don't think it's necessarily a great idea to get them used to it because let's face it, they're going to like it and you don't want them to start wanting to exchange their food for what you have on the table," said Dr. Jeff Werber.
Veterinarians recommend whenever you're going to feed any kind of pet table food, never feed it to them from the table.
They say if you have leftovers you want to share, make it lean, cut off the fat and feed it to them in their own bowls.
Doctors say that voids teaching them how to bed from the table.
"Now there are some things, like corn on the cob that can be extremely dangerous. They do love it, they'll even get into your garbage cans, the problem is that cob itself is about the perfect size to lodge into an intestine and get stuck and I can't tell you over the years how many dogs had to go in surgically and find a corn cob stuck in the intestine," continued Dr. Jeff Werber.
To avoid anything like that, doctors say it's important to make sure there is no way any of your pets can get into your trash.
