With November come the thoughts of Thanksgiving also comes a time to give pause and count our blessings for life, family and friends as well as our pets that make up our world and help us to connect with each other in a positive way.
I would also like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to our veterans and first responders for risking their lives every day in protecting our rights for freedom. Special thanks to all that have supported Chris’ Pets for Vets in so many ways helping and thanking our veteran’s with the support of a shelter pet at no cost to them.
Now down to business, this month’s article focuses on precautions on keeping our pets safe and healthy during Thanksgiving time. I thought by sharing this quick guide on what foods are considered harmful, if not fatal, as well as foods that CAN be shared with your furry loved ones at Thanksgiving.
THANKSGIVING FOODS TO KEEP AWAY FROM YOUR PETS
Thanksgiving is a day full of food so yummy that even your furry friend might want to join in! As the smell of a home-cooked meal wafts through your house, it’s important to keep in mind that
most of the food we love to eat on Thanksgiving is very harmful to our pets.
Some common ingredients, like garlic, onion, and butter, can cause health issues or be toxic to our pets.
This year, be sure to avoid sharing these foods with your furry friend:
- Turkey skin & bones
- Gravy trimmings
- Fatty foods
- Corn on the cob
- Raw dough
- Grapes & raisins
- Chocolate
- Nuts
- Xylitol (Artificial Sweetener)
If you can’t resist those puppy dog eyes, you can share the following human treats with your pet:
- Green beans
- Carrots
- Sweet potatoes
- Apples
- Pumpkin
- White, unseasoned, boneless turkey
Included below is an infographic to share with a friend who may need a friendly reminder. Be sure to keep your pets out of the kitchen so that you can enjoy a safe and socially distanced Thanksgiving!
