🍁🐾 Thanksgiving Treats for Your Pup! 🐾🍁

Wondering what’s safe to share from your Thanksgiving table with your pup? Here are some tips to let them join in the festivities while keeping them happy and healthy:

✅ Dog-Friendly Foods:

• Turkey: Plain, fully cooked, boneless, skinless, and unseasoned pieces are safe for your pup. Avoid fatty skin or bones!

• Sweet Potatoes: Cooked and plain (no marshmallows, butter, or sugar).

• Pumpkin: Plain, cooked, or canned (without spices or sugar). Great for digestion!

• Green Beans: Steamed or plain—skip the casserole version!

• Carrots & Peas: Fresh or steamed make for a yummy treat.

• Apples: Sliced and seedless (no pie, though!).

🚫 Foods to Avoid:

• Stuffing & Gravy: They often contain onions, garlic, and seasonings that are toxic to dogs.

• Mashed Potatoes: If loaded with butter, milk, cheese, or garlic.

• Desserts: Chocolate, pies, and artificial sweeteners like xylitol are dangerous for dogs.

• Turkey Bones & Skin: These can splinter or upset their tummy.

💡 Pro Tip: Create a small plate of dog-safe goodies just for your pup so they feel included while staying safe!
