Ridgewood NJ, according to VCA Ridgewood Veterinary Hospital ,Irish Soda Bread is for people, not pets! We see it in the grocery stores around St. Patrick’s Day, but remember that there are lots of raisins in Irish Soda Bread, which are extremely toxic to pets. Did you know that a small snack sized box of raisins has the potential to kill a 60 lb. dog? Enjoy this treat with butter or cream cheese, but NOT with your pets! Have a Happy, Safe St. Patrick’s Day!
