Don’t Forget Your Dog’s Meal This Thanksgiving

As a general rule dogs should only have table food sparingly, but this Thanksgiving treat your pet to some of your meal. The best things for your dog are turkey minus any skin or bones, mashed potatoes minus the gravy and extra butter, stuffing, cranberry sauce and veggies. All of these items  should remain on the less seasoned side as not to upset your pet's digestion, also like with all table food  your pet should only get small portion.

Turkey: Cooked poultry bones can easily break and may get stuck in your pets' throats or bruise their stomachs, so if your pooch wants some extra protein on their plate, stick to white-meat turkey with no skin or bones ONLY.

Yummy Yams: Although your favorite version may be decked out with caramelized brown sugar and marshmallows, hold the sweets when you serve them to your sweetie pie. Plain yams are rich, delicious and filled with fiber.

Apple Slices: Raw apple slices are a great way to hold your pet over until the main course. (And make sure Fido remembers to eat his fruit!) Hold the pie, please.
