Like us, dogs just gotta have fun — especially when their two-legged friends are barbecuing in the summer. But you’ll need to keep a watchful eye on your pooch to prevent the fun from fizzling in a hurry.

Let’s start with the food, because chances are, your dog will want to. If your pooch pilfers food right off the grill, he’s likely to burn his mouth, throat or stomach. Feasting on fatty foods, like sausages or even grease left on grill tops, can also make dogs pretty sick.

All kinds of food can be booby trapped with foreign objects. For example, your dog might gobble up a helping of grease-stained gravel or skewers hiding inside kebabs. Even bingeing on bones or wrappings swiped from the trash can just be surgeries waiting to happen.

So let the good times roll. Just keep emergencies from getting in the way.
