Your Guide to a Dog Friendly Thanksgiving Meal
As you’re finalizing your Thanksgiving grocery list and plans it’s natural to want to be sure your beloved pup gets to join in the feast! But, before you sneak them some bites of your favorite dishes, check out the below common Thanksgiving foods they can enjoy to help keep them safe and their tummies happy.
Spoiler alert – many of our traditional dishes include added salt, garlic, butter and other seasonings which can be harmful to dogs. However, with some extra care you can prepare some popular dishes for your pup to enjoy.
Thanksgiving Foods Dogs Can Eat:
- Turkey – plain, cooked turkey meat with no bones, skin, or seasoning is generally considered safe. Be sure to avoid toxic seasoning ingredients for turkey for your dog, like garlic and onions.
- Plain Sweet Potatoes: boiled or baked and free from added sugar, spices, or marshmallows can be okay for your pup to enjoy.
- Pumpkin – plain canned pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling) in moderation can support your pup’s digestive health.
