If your dogs are anything like ours, then they’re already practicing their begging techniques for the big meal 🤣🦃

Thanksgiving is full of delicious food — and curious pups who want a taste! Here’s a quick guide to what’s safe and not safe for dogs to enjoy this holiday. 🐾✨

⸻

✅ Safe Thanksgiving Foods (in small portions!)

🦃 Plain, cooked turkey
No skin, no seasoning, no bones.

🥕 Carrots
A crunchy, healthy treat.

🍠 Sweet potatoes
Plain only — no butter, sugar, or marshmallows.

🫛 Green beans
Unseasoned and cooked or raw.

🍎 Apples
Slices only — no core or seeds.

🎃 Pumpkin
Plain, cooked, or canned pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling).

⸻

❌ Foods to Keep Away From Dogs

🦴 Turkey bones
They can splinter and cause serious injury.

🧈 Turkey skin & rich, fatty foods
Can trigger pancreatitis.

🍇 Grapes & raisins
Toxic — even small amounts.

🍫 Chocolate & desserts
Dangerous and can be life-threatening.

🧅 Onions, garlic, and chives
Found in many stuffing and side dishes; toxic to dogs.

🥧 Pie fillings & sweets
High sugar, spices, and sometimes xylitol.

🍞 Bread dough
Dangerous due to rising yeast.

If your pet gets into something they shouldn’t, or has a medical emergency, you can contact Blue Pearl in Raleigh, or Wake Veterinary Urgent Care in Knightdale for assistance. Additionally you can also contact a pet poison control hotline like the ASPCA Poison Control Center for guidance.

From all of us at Tuscan Ridge Animal Hospital,
Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁🧡

🍂 Fall Pet Safety Tips from Tuscan Ridge Animal Hospital 🍂

As the leaves change and the air cools, we want to help your pets stay safe this season! Here are a few fall reminders for your furry friends:

🐾 Watch for Fleas & Ticks – Cooler weather doesn’t mean they disappear! Fleas and ticks remain active well into fall. Continue your pet’s prevention year-round to protect them from irritation and disease.

🐍 Be Aware of Snakes – Autumn is when snakes are most active before winter. Keep your pets on a leash during walks and stay cautious around leaf piles, tall grass, and woodpiles.

🎃 Halloween Hazards – Treats, decorations, and costumes can pose hidden dangers.

Keep candy (especially chocolate and xylitol) out of reach.

Use pet-safe costumes that allow for movement and breathing.

Be mindful of Halloween décor—wires, candles, and glow sticks can all be tempting chew toys!

🧡 As always, our team at Tuscan Ridge Animal Hospital is here to help keep your pets happy and healthy through every season. If you have questions about parasite prevention, vaccines, or seasonal safety, give us a call today!

🔄 The Cytopoint Loading Period: Why 3 Injections Matter
Cytopoint provides long-lasting relief from allergic and atopic dermatitis, but lasting success often comes with consistency.
In a 2019 study:

📌 1st Injection – 65% of dogs experienced significant relief
📌 2nd Injection (30 days later) – 85% showed improvement
📌 3rd Injection (30 days after 2nd) – 93% of dogs had sustained relief

💡 Translation? Your pet may feel better after one dose, but the full benefit is typically seen after three monthly injections. That’s why we recommend starting the initial Cytopoint series: one injection every 30 days for 3 months.
