5 Thanksgiving safety tips for dogs and cats:

Your beloved pets and Thanksgiving can be a dangerous combination in more ways than you'd think, especially when animals are not properly supervised. Take note of these safety tips before you set the table and be sure to talk with your guests about following them as well.

1. Cover plates before mealtime
One of the biggest Thanksgiving dangers for pets is food and the utensils used to serve food. You never know when your furry family member may try to snag snacks with their paws or jump on the counter, and it may be a while between when food is ready and when it's actually time to eat. Try keeping your food covered prior to serving dinner. Consider getting some plastic food covers to reduce the aromas (and make it harder for prying paws to gain access). Naturally, you'll want at least one person to stay nearby to guard things just in case you have a particularly clever and curious pet.

2. Feed pets before sitting down
To further help keep curious pets at bay, it's a good idea to make sure they're not hungry when it's time for everyone else to sit down for Thanksgiving dinner. Do this by feeding them right before you eat, ensuring they have their own food to keep them distracted from any enticing scents coming from their humans' dinner table. While it's normally not advised to disrupt your pet's feeding schedule, this is one of those times when making an exception could be more beneficial.

3. Secure discarded items
Those turkey bones may seem like they can sit out for a moment while you clean up other things, but be careful as they can be highly dangerous to pets. Clean up cooking utensils and food debris as soon as you're done with them, and contain all food scraps in safe space before they can be properly disposed of safely. This should include a compost bin or other closed container, as just putting them high up will not prevent cats or extra agile dogs from getting to them.

4. Be mindful of pets and dessert
What's Thanksgiving dinner without dessert to top things off? While pumpkin is often considered safe for dogs in small portions, pies are a no-go due to the added sugar and spices.

Chocolate is likewise one of the most dangerous pet hazards that is often in full force throughout the holiday season. Consider keeping all desserts and sugary snacks out of reach until dessert time. Once they're out, don't leave them unattended and know where your pet is at all times.

5. Provide a pet-safe space
Your pets may do best with a place to play and rest during dinnertime, avoiding the stimulation of sound and smells. They may also just become overwhelmed by the noise and visitors in general. Regardless of the situation, it's important to ensure pets have a safe, quiet place to retreat to and relax.

In addition to reducing pet stress, a pet-friendly space away from the dinner table helps lower the risk of dogs and cats eating something they shouldn't. A comfy bed, water, dog gate, and a variety of toys are all good ways to create a cozy and interactive space that keeps your pet occupied and entertained while you enjoy your Thanksgiving feast in peace.

Thanksgiving food and crowds can bring unique challenges for pet owners. Here's how to keep dogs and cats safe during this season’s gatherings.
