Thanksgiving And Your Pup: What Foods Are Safe?
Our dogs are probably already drooling at the thought of turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie this upcoming Thanksgiving. So are we. When the ever-indulgent holiday rolls around, and a big feast occurs, our pups will likely be near the dinner table begging for scraps and leftovers.
But what’s safe to feed your dog and what’s unsafe?
Here is a list, from the American Kennel Club (AKC). Read the full article on their website!
Safe:
Sweet potatoes
Potatoes
Apples
Turkey meat (without the skin and bones)
Green beans
Plain peas
Pumpkin
Certain desserts (no chocolate, of course!) - a healthy one is frozen yogurt
Unsafe and Unhealthy:
AKC also advises to take out the trash quickly so your dog, a super sniffer, can’t get into it and dig out any harmful foods. If your dog does accidentally ingest something toxic, contact the Pet Poison Helpline or a local vet.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your pup! Let’s ensure it’s both delicious and safe.
