Thanksgiving is a time for family, feasting, and plenty of tail wags! 🦃🐾
While we’re enjoying turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, it’s important to remember that not all human foods are safe for our furry friends. Here’s your festive guide to keeping your pup happy, healthy, and wagging their tail all holiday long.
Lean, delicious, and safe in small amounts! Skip the skin and seasonings to avoid an upset tummy.
Packed with fiber and flavor, plain cooked pumpkin is a holiday favorite for digestion (but skip the pie filling!).
Naturally sweet and wholesome, plain cooked sweet potatoes are a tasty treat — marshmallow toppings are a no-go!
Crunchy, fresh, or lightly steamed, these veggies are a low-calorie, pup-approved snack.
Small amounts of plain cranberries are safe — skip sweetened sauces or anything with xylitol.
Loaded with onions, garlic, or raisins, stuffing can be toxic to dogs.
High in salt, butter, and spices, these can upset your pup’s tummy.
Sugary desserts and artificial sweeteners are a holiday no-no for dogs.
Macadamia nuts are toxic, and other nuts can be too fatty for pups.
Never share alcoholic drinks or raw dough — both can be dangerous for your dog.
Portion Control: Treats should only make up a small part of their meal.
Safe Sharing: Offer plain turkey or dog-friendly veggies instead of seasoned scraps.
Include Them in the Fun: Give your pup a special dog-safe treat so they feel part of the festivities.
Thanksgiving is a time for joy, family, and celebration — and that includes your furry friend! 🐶❤️ By knowing what foods are safe and what to avoid, you can make this holiday happy, healthy, and tail-wagging for everyone.
Wishing you and your pup a warm, festive, and delicious Thanksgiving! 🍂🦃
