Super Bowl LVII (also called the football match that interrupts Rihanna's performance) is getting closer. It's almost here. Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday, and we're already smelling Hot wings and buffalo dip right here.

Keep Human Food and Drinks Out of Reach
A lot of the most well-known Super Bowl foods are toxic for dogs. Keep an eye on any feet or noses close to the table. Beverages (or the alcohol that is of all types), as well as garlic, onions, bones, cooking meats, mustard, and chocolate, should be kept secured with lids in areas your dog can't get access to quickly.
